Bourdain: 1, Waters: 0?

May 26, 2009

Let me have it in the comments below… Waters vs. Bourdain, $12 egg vs. 99c chicken wings.

(warning, there’s an f-bomb somewhere in there). Video from the “Food for Thought” discussion, featuring Tony Bourdain, Alice Waters, and Duff Goldman. Let me quote something here:

“As a chef, I’m not your dietitian or your ethicist. I’m in the [...]

Croque(-Madame) the RIGHT way

Thumbnail image for Croque(-Madame) the RIGHT way May 24, 2009

I usually abstain from posting recipes. There are many (and I mean, MANY) cook books out there, and chefs … well, we seem to read them for the pictures and then just spend a few hours in the kitchen trying to outdo whatever we thought the whole thing was meant to be.

Nerdy Chef

May 18, 2009

My business cards say “food nerd”, which is pretty darn accurate, if I dare say so myself. Sure, my word pretty much revolves around one day producing that ultimate Mac & Cheese, making a perfect Bollito-Misto, marrying sweet and sour flavors to produce something new, but the superlative foodgasm involves looking at a red and [...]

The “Guilt Free” Trap

May 17, 2009

Ahead of my Seven Misconceptions talk (and post), here’s an example.
We’re at the Palo Alto Farmer’s Market where some guy is selling “Guilt Free, Organic” sausages. “Cool,” I think, and ask him where his meat comes from. Sausages are usually mostly pork, so I expect a hog farm somewhere in the Sausalito or Tracy area, [...]

Tony Bourdain … lunch bags?

May 15, 2009

Sure, it’s not half as creepy as the Head o’ Zimmern, but pretty darn funny in and by itself. Get your Antony Bourdain Lunch Bag at Etsy.

Search terms that didn’t satisfy

May 11, 2009

The following search terms were used to find this site. They didn’t lead to anything people were looking for:

“Why does my chef scream so much?” - maybe because you’re googling from your iPhone instead of working?
“Rachael Ray Sex Tape” - ewwwww, just ewwww.
“culinary school smoking pot” - guess ’smoking hot saute pan’ didn’t satisfy this [...]

OMG, WTF, LOL, ZOMG

May 9, 2009

I am returning to my laptop, glass of water and yummy snack food amuse in hand, when my eyes fall on my Woopra client (which pretty much runs all the time, even on the laptop). WTF? Zomg! Visitor Overload.
Quick investigation later - I am the third hit for Roger Eaton KFC on Google. Makes for [...]
