Just because I was away doesn’t mean the world came to a screeching halt (shocking, I know). So here are some odds and ends from around the net from the past week+. I’ll leave this post, with a heavy heart.
- The always chatter worth Holeman+Finch announced that they are expanding their Sunday brunch hours. Starting January 17th, you’ll be able to grab a seat starting at 11:30 in the AM. [via]
- Kentucky Fried Chicken really put themselves in some hot oil. One of their Australian commercials has turned hot button Stateside. All I’ll say: You be the judge. [via]
- For $34.00, you too can be the proud owner of a 24-oz bag of Bacon Bourbon Caramel Corn (above). I’d say this takes the concept of sweet/savory to a whole notha’ level. Looks so nasty it must be good. [purchase]
- Speaking of meatastic products … it’s playoff time. If you’re anything like me, this means you’re hard at work planning your Super Bowl party. Mine just got a whole lot better because I’ll be serving edible sausage footballs. Boo-yaa! [via – too many]
- Food stylists play a bigger role in our lives than you or I might ever realize. Still, there’s the right way to do it, and then there is this way. Enjoy!
- The unfortunate reality is that not all news is good news. Sadly, our little food community was dealt a serious blow of tragic reality. Maureen Allaben, one of the food stylists who did it right, was recently murdered. A much more detailed recap can be found on the AJC. Meanwhile, you can perhaps find a little comfort in the cheerful little interview from Creative Loafing this past September. Last but not least, you can find the testament to her talent still alive.
LOL! Thanks for the shout out – too funny 🙂 Also, thanks for including my friend Maureen in your post today…
