Chris Schlesinger - Tropical Eats for a Holiday Feast

There’s plenty of fresh and delicious seafood to be had around these parts. But this holiday, prolific cookbook author and East Coast Grill chef-owner Chris Schlesinger wants to head a little farther south to get his shellfish fix. He’s hankering for some stone crab claws. These sweet crustaceany treats are mainly harvested in the warm waters around Florida, but luckily for you, they can easily be shipped throughout the country by spots like Joe's Stone Crab, a Miami Beach favorite since 1913. Log on and place an order to have some sent to the crab fiend on your list. It may not be a trip to someplace warm, but at least you can eat like you’re on vacation.
