What’s The Difference Between Carpaccio And Tartare?
There are so many excellent ways to eat raw meat
Carpaccio is the Italian
term for raw beef filet that's been thoroughly chilled and sliced
paper-thin. The slices are arranged on a plate, typically with some
shaved Parmesan, capers, salt, pepper, olive oil and lemon juice and a
simple arugula salad. The olive oil and lemon juice's acidity cures the
meat ever-so-slightly — it's a classic. Sometimes fish is served in the
style of carpaccio as well, though you'll usually see it as crudo in Italian cuisine.
Tartare is the general term for meat or fish (or fine, vegetables) that are chopped or minced and mixed with a binding agent
(usually mayonnaise and in the case of steak tartare, Dijon mustard)
and finely chopped onion or shallot, fresh herbs and other seasonings,
then molded and served as an appetizer. Check out our killer steak tartare recipe from Colicchio & Sons for the specifics.

In Gee Chun of Korea completed a wire-to-wire win at the Evian Championship on Sunday, finishing at a major championship record 21-under par, four strokes ahead of countrywomen Sung Hyun Park and So Yeon Ryu.

Chun also set the record for lowest score in relation to par in a men's or women's major. Jason Day won the 2015 PGA Championship at 20 under, while Henrik Stenson did the same at this year's Open Championship.
Park and Ryu finished tied for second, rounding out the all-Korean top three. This is Park's best finish in a major and Ryu's 10th career top-five in a major.

Some Criminals Have Limits
Why some Japan golf courses are scared to ask potential members if they're tied to organized crime
Does not belong to an organized crime group." It seems like an unusual box to be asked to check when filling out a membership application to join a golf club. But apparently, at Japan golf courses, it's pretty standard -- well, for those bold enough to inquire.
A report by JapanToday.com says the common application question is becoming less common due to fear of retaliation by organized crime groups. According to the story, the areas of "Oita, Nagasaki, Saga and Kagoshima have included the pledge. However, in the remaining prefecture of Fukuoka, only 14 of 49 courses have done the same."
The report concludes this part of the membership process at Japan golf courses has been dropped due to the murder of a Kitakyushu golf manager 16 years ago. The crime occurred shortly after a group of people believed to be connected to the Kudo-kai Yakuza clan were turned away from joining.
