Certain tributes (although they may not seem like them)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

roasts

(Other definitions for roasts that I've seen before include "traditional Sunday food" , "gets very hot" , "Cooks in dry heat" , "Has a go at" , "Cooks meat in oven" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
