NYC Event: Matt Lee & Ted Lee Reading

Brothers Matt Lee and Ted Lee will read from The Lee Bros. Cookbook: Stories and Recipes for Southerners and Would-be Southerners at the Lincoln Triangle Barnes & Noble (1972 Broadway at 66th Street) at 7 p.m. on October 18.

Writing under a shared byline, the Lee Brothers get a lot done. They write for Travel + Leisure and the dining section of The New York Times. The brothers collaborate on a new monthly wine column for Martha Stewart Living magazine and appear weekly on Martha's Sirius radio channel.

Matt and Ted also run Lee Bros. Boiled Peanuts catalog and website, "your secret source for the best southern specialites and gifts."

To sample their new cookbook, try the Frogmore Stew recipe. They explain that this stew is served in"October in the South Carolina lowcountry, when the shrimp season overlaps high blue crab season."

New York City had a role in how the brothers got their start in the food world. Click here to read more about that.

The lee bros. boiled peanuts (that you can order from their catalog) are really perfect: not to salty, not too mushy, but still perfectly reminiscent of the ones you can buy at farmer's stands on the side of the road all through Georgia, Alabama, and South Carolina....
