My friend Roberta just wrote an article for salon.com on local food and carbon impact! Interesting look at the complexities of trying to eat in a low-impact fashion.
I just…they’re bagels. They’re so good and so easy. Children prepare them. In the amount of time it takes to pull out a Bagel-Fuls* from the package and cook it—you have to cook these in a toaster or the microwave—you could just toast a real bagel. Adding cream cheese would take maybe 10 seconds.
What have […]

Looking Dinner in the Eye - kudos to the chefs for doing this. The more I think about these issues, the more convinced I am that I need to witness, or preferably participate, in this something like this before I can eat meat with a clean conscience. [thanks to s-m for the tip]
LAST Friday, […]

The Shame of the Chicken Caesar
“The Chicken Caesar is an emblem of the mediocrity of American cuisine!” I would cry. Ming would chuckle and turn up the volume on his iPod, and Todd more or less ignored me as a run-of-the-mill crank screaming into the nor’easter of American food culture. Or so I thought.

BACON-INFUSED VODKA! - the title pretty much says it all.
Bee Not Afraid - perhaps that “global disaster from honeybees dying off” thing isn’t so much of a big deal.
Freud Pops
Once you get over the initial reluctance to put a human head in your mouth, you’ll find that the subtle contours and watermelon flavor of these Sigmund Freud Head Pops are worth the strange looks you’ll get as you suck them.
Fast Food: Ads vs. Reality - Is there something wrong with me that I think some of the “reality” photos look sorta tasty? Yes, I think there is.
Each item was purchased, taken home, and photographed immediately. Nothing was tampered with, run over by a car, or anything of the sort. It is an accurate […]

Shoots, Kills, Seasons
Season Shot is made of tightly packed seasoning bound by a fully biodegradable food product. The seasoning is actually injected into the bird on impact seasoning the meat from the inside out. When the bird is cooked the seasoning pellets melt into the meat spreading the flavor to the entire bird. Forget worrying […]
Peep Research - Just in time for the Easter season, we bring you a classic.

Hypothesis:
THIS IS GOING TO BE SO AWESOME
Kabuto returns, sadly diminished - Kabuto, the amazing sushi restaurant I wrote about last August is still open, but the Chronicle and Michael Bauer are disappointed in its new incarnation.
Late Capitalism Rulz - Everyone needs the Shrimp Butler. And remember:
The Shrimp Butler is the ORIGINAL hand-cranked shrimp deveining product. Shelton Corp. urges you NOT to buy the illegal, inferior Chinese knockoff in the marketplace which is an infringement of our USA patents 6,129,621 & 6,273,807.
Fast track to a fine vintage? - Japanese company claims to have invented a process for artificially aging and improving wines without the need to cellar them. Interesting, but I’ll be surprised if it works. As would Derrick, I’m guessing. [via Dave, who is totally dropping a P-A reference in that post.]

Bringing Home the Bacon-Making - what part of “homemade bacon” doesn’t sound awesome to you?
