American food insecurity is an under-told story amid the coronavirus pandemic, but as more people find themselves unemployed or underemployed, it's a reality with which too many are grappling
At the North Texas Food Bank in Plano, government relations director Valerie Hawthorne sees up close the toll Covid-19 has taken on the 13 counties it serves, and she's working to keep food on tables. On Tuesday, she and about 100 volunteers handed out much-needed grub at Fair Park in Dallas, where they hoped to help out about 2,000 households, or about 8,000 people.
Unemployed Americans turn to food banks in record numbers 02:19Food banks have also struggled, Fitzgerald said. Since the pandemic, Feeding America's demand has spiked 50% over the same period last year. The number of volunteers has dipped as well, while supply has also been a problem. Where Feeding America usually runs on donations, it's had to purchase food to distribute during the pandemic, she said, calling for more government assistance during the crisis.

The Realest-Deal Kung Pao Chicken (Gong Bao Ji Ding) | The Food LabFor those of you keeping score at home (I know you're out there), yes, this is the third recipe for kung pao chicken that I've published here on Serious Eats in the last seven years. The first version was funky and fiery with fermented chili bean paste, chicken thighs, and leeks. The second was a decidedly milder version made with bell peppers and celery, just like at those Upper West Side Chinese takeout joints. The version I'm sharing today is based upon the kung pao chicken I tasted at the source in Chengdu: a simpler yet more nuanced version than either, and a near-perfect weeknight dish.
