Choice Bites 11.30.2011


Apparently, an artist's t-shirts emblazoned with "eat more kale" "is likely to cause confusion of the public and dilutes the distinctiveness of Chick-fil-A's intellectual property and diminishes its value."

Eat more kale. Eat mor chikin. Yup. Exact same sentence. Exact same sentiment. Come on, man!

Remember Phoebe Cates? She puts half-and-half in her espresso. Huh. But she cooks! (I find the whole Grub Street Diet column fascinating.)

More celebrities: GQ hates Gwyneth Paltrow, her cookbook, and her pizza oven. Personally, I kinda like Goop. I don't think she's purposely pretentious - it just comes naturally.

Anyone out there watching The Next Iron Chef on Food Network? I had several requests to recap it, but I'm already doing Top Chef. After doing Rocco's Dinner Party AND Next Food Network Star simultaneously, I was ready for the boobie hatch. Anyhoo...Chef Eddie Huang is recapping NIC for Eater...he's pretty entertaining. And possibly on crack.

I've mentioned before that the chats on Serious Eats can be pretty entertaining. And educational. In a recent discussion on shoplifting, I learned that Preparation H suppositories are popular items to steal. Apparently coke addicts stuff them up their noses to relieve irritation.....

Choice Bites 6.21.2011

Why is it not surprising that America's Next Great Restaurant, Soul Daddy, has closed two of its three locations (NY and LA) after only one month?

Martha Stewart is getting her own comic book. Now that's someone I'd like to see team up with Spider-Man or the X-Men!

Ruth Reichl dishes about Top Chef Masters and winner Floyd Cardoz' experience on the show at Gilt Taste. Apparently there was lots of petty backbiting behind the scenes. Who knew?

I have nasturtiums growing in my herb garden, but there are plenty more edible flowers. Find a slide show with recipes at Epicurious.

I always enjoy reading the Grub Street Diet to see what famous/semi-famous/famous in their own mind people eat. Scroll down and you'll find Chefs Mario Batali, Gabrielle Hamilton, and Marco Canora.
