What’s Up With That Food: Capers

The James Beard Award-nominated chef Todd Gray of Equinox Restaurant in Washington, D.C., takes care when he uses the larger ones. “You have to be sure they are washed very well and they have to be used more sparingly because their flavor is aggressive.” He also employs them in a pineapple caper butter with pan-fried oysters.
