Robot Chicken For The Foodie [Laugh Of The Day]

Yes, I know … I’ve slacked the past few days.  While I have not had the chance to update as I would have liked to, that does not mean I haven’t been up to my usual tomfoolery.  Rest assured, I have some good stuff cooking for the upcoming week.  In the meantime, I thought I’d …

Stone Ground Grits With Kevin Rathbun On The Today Show

Recently, Atlanta super chef Kevin Rathbun made an appearance over on the Today Show.  He offered to serve up some piping hot grits!  They flashed a recipe up for a short bit.  I’ve posted that recipe after the video!

Grass Fed Beef Is So 2008. Hello Shmeat [Laugh Of The Day]

While I was knocking out some 9-5 work a few minutes ago, I had last nights Colbert Report playing in the background.  However, my attention quickly moved away from databases and spreadsheets as soon as I heard the words “meat loving American.”  Take about 5 minutes and watch this schaweet clip!  Mmmm… shmeat! The Colbert …

Coolest Resignation Letter … EVER

So in these tough economic times, the thought of someone quitting their job seems down right dumb.  However, we often hear of extenuating circumstances.  Such is the case for one W. Neil Berrett.  The guy found himself in between a rock and a hard place: personal needs that demanded his attention or paying his bills. …

How To Sharpen A Knife: A Good Demonstration

Even though I am not much more than a glorified home cook (if that), I know one indisputable fact: sharp knives are a kitchen essential!  It’s amazing how often people ask me for a lesson (or in fact if I would sharpen their knives for them).  Thankfully, I was smart enough to know better than …

The Definitive Guide To Ordering (And Eating) At The Varsity

As a compendium to What’ll Ya have?, I wanted to follow up with this handy little guide.  The Varsity has developed its own unique terminology for a number of items on their menu.  Here they are in all their glory. For those of you who have never been (and those of you still looking to …

Light Your Next Party With Tea Bags

That’s not a typo people. Korean designer Wonsik Chae has developed a cup of light.  While this stuff is obviously undrinkable, I still think it deserves some mention on a food blog. Basically, this is just a science experiment gone horribly RIGHT! The concoction consists of a chemical intermediate and the aforementioned tea bags stuffed …

Mark Bittman Takes On The Colbert Nation

Tuesday night was a double dip of pleasure for me.  Not only did I get my fix of The Colbert Report, but, Stephen was kind enough to have a foodie themed interview.  Mark Bittman, a blogger on NYTimes.com, author, and socially conscious cook, talked with Colbert about “eating without thinking.” It’s always funny to see …

The Second Coming Of Julia Child … Clara Cannucciari

Clara Cannucciari is old school – literally.  She is a 93-year old cook who runs greatdepressioncooking.com.  To be honest, I’m more interested in her stories than her cooking.  She talks about food and cooking from the Great Depression.  I thought this was appropriate on the heels of Tami’s $30 Project! You can check out all …
