AV club reviews celeb endorsed "food" (i'll use that term lightly considering it's mainly hot sauces) some of them make sense (i.e. sammy hagar and tequila; cheech marin and hot sauce) others don't (dexter holland of the offspring and hot sauce, smokey robinson and frozen dinners..weird)blue bottle coffee opens up it's first cafe in san fran-and employs the first siphon bar in the u.s. (imported from japan)-- kinda looks like a mad scientist's lab-- which brews each cup individually check out a review here..
(pretty interesting concept, but not terribly practical for all, or most cafes. i think my employees would've killed me if i told them. "remember how much you loved it when a customer would order a tall coffee and you barely had to do any work, well forget that because now you're brewing each cup to order!")
gridskipper brings us brooklyn's best bbq here... seems a little weird. but about a year ago. i experienced some brooklyn bbq and it's def. worth checking out. (i'm actually pretty sure i went to #8 on the list soule)
a philly boy's review of how other countries interpret his beloved cheesesteaks (here.) one of my best friends lives in philly and out of all the times i've gone to visit her i've yet to have an authentic philly cheesesteak... i guess i should get on that. huh?
and now for something completely different. zadie smith bashes contestants in her short story writing contest and tells them all to try again next year.. (after working in bookstores for 4 years i can tell you 2 things about zadie smith not many people come in asking for her, and her follow up to white teeth was in our bargain section not even a year after it was released...) so i'm not exactly sure who she is to judge..
