≡RogueApron soup line
Sunday, October 12, 2008
I joined rogueApron this past weekend for the soup line. Good stuff all around: welcomed with pumpkiny spirits, fed with a trio of soups and East Atlanta Brewery concoctions, topped off with cupcakes and whiffle ball. More pictures in the rogueApron photo pool.

From an interview with Anthony Bourdain, a passage on those beautiful moments and how they feel kind of sucky at the same time:
I‚Äôve talked elsewhere about there are times in your life… I‚Äôll use the example of you‚Äôre standing alone in the desert, and you see the most incredible sunset you‚Äôve ever seen and your [...]

RogueApron is Atlanta’s independent speakeasy and supperclub:
Food that’s been cooked with love, for people who are soon to be your friends, in a relaxed atmosphere where your drunken sated contentment is our only goal.
I just heard about it this morning and I think it could be really cool. I hope it can make it to [...]
≡Blackberries
Sunday, August 17, 2008
I spent Saturday night in the woods. On Sunday morning I walked back through a nice stretch of trail with blackberries growing along the sides, just turning ripe. Hiking pace went from 4mph to 0mph. I ate pretty much anything I could reach without having to go into the brambles.

We often buy ‚ÄúI Can‚Äôt Believe It‚Äôs Not Butter‚Äù despite its awful name and soul-withering chemical composition. Even the product‚Äôs faux-entertaining site refers to it as a ‚Äúnutritious blend of oils.‚Äù… In fact, we just bought the ‚Äúlight‚Äù version of it, which is therefore some sort of simulacrum of the original.
There’s some great naming suggestions [...]

How to be a snob when drinking alcohol: “There are guidelines. First, if you’re faking it, everything is faint—you want to talk in terms of hints, notes, and shades. Give the impression that you only barely caught this delicate wisp of a flavor because you were concentrating so intensely back in Step 2.”

When I heard that milk jugs are being redesigned for better efficiency, I felt a sort of witless glee. Part of that is my usual response to efficiency. And also because most of my high school employment was in the local Kroger, stores #444 and #432 (I still remember that…?). I mostly did night stock, [...]
≡King Corn
Wednesday, June 25, 2008
King Corn is a documentary about 2 guys that move to Iowa to grow an acre of corn. With today’s agro-tech, the actual farming takes just a few minutes. The bulk of it is their interviews and exploration of the food chain from seed to cobs to cattle to what we get in stores and [...]
≡In Defense of Food: An Eater’s Manifesto (review: 2.5/5)
Tuesday, June 24, 2008
By now you’ve probably heard Michael Pollan’s seven words of advice from In Defense of Food: An Eater’s Manifesto: “Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.” In the book he spends 150 pages talking about nutritionism, reductionist food science, and the negative health effects of the Western diet. In the last 50 pages he finally [...]

Michael Pollan talked with Google last month about his latest book, In Defense of Food. He’s funnier than I expected. My doodles:

Eddie Murphy riffs on wanting McDonald’s food when you were a kid. “I had one of those mothers, no matter what you want, she has the ingredients at home.” It’s Eddie Murphy so, nsfw.

The Dining with Notebook Manifesto outlines an ingenious way to get a better dining experience, with some effort and preparation:
Because I’m a bit of a food-geek, I always had a notebook to take down my observations in text and drawings. I semi-noticed that the chefs and staff would become aware of my scribbling in the [...]

Some friends of mine started a cheese blog. Which is great for at least two reasons:
Lately, I’ve become more and more fond of food blogs.
The thought of starting a cheese blog would never occur to me.

The makers of Splenda have bought off hundreds of negative domain names, like splendakills.com. Is it just their paranoia or should I be concerned? [via torrez]

Jackson, Xeni Jardin, Penn Jillette, David Letterman, Donald Trump, H.P. Lovecraft, Frank Zappa, and Prince, among others. Fictional teetotalers include Batman and MacGyver. Um… Heinrich Himmler, Hitler, and Osama bin Laden are also on [...]
