gluttonyisabliss: Hotdogs (via Biggie*) The General always brown bags it, but that doesn’t mean it’s always a brown bag. It was Tupperware when I was a kid. My mom sold the stuff, so we had (still have) a lot of little bits and pieces, the bits and pieces they handed out as free samples and door prizes. Tiny multi-coloured pots with lids, two-in-one salt and pepper, and containers with all kinds of compartments. Even with my peanut butter and jelly sandwich, carrot sticks and dip, I was always a little jealous of my best friend’s Keroppi bento box. Browse the whole set of photos in bento envy.

YouTube - Anthony Bourdain - Pork Porn

Terroir, which is a wine term, but it really should be a philosophy for making all food. You can taste the soil in wine, and you can taste the good life these pigs lived.

Canadian flour is named after Robin Hood. American flour is named after King Arthur. And both names are stolen from the British.

"Cabaret is French for “tavern,” and [Rudolphe] Salis used the term to suggest that his entertainment took the form of a menu, or a bill of fare."

— Trav S.D., No Applause—Just Throw Money: The Book That Made Vaudeville Famous (270). Le Chat Noir was Salis’s cabaret, and the first of its kind.

YouTube - OBSESSIVES: Pizza - CHOW

An oven built by hand, tile by tile. Four pizzas on the menu, with no fancy-pants toppings. Anthony Mangieri does one thing at Una Pizza Napoletana, and he does it the very best way he can.
Gruber says, “I never tire of listening to obsessive perfectionists, no matter the topic,” and we agree. CHOW’s Obsessives is a fantastic series.
