With tail between my legs, I have no food photos or food stories to share this week. No f***ing brown buttered hedgehog mushrooms, and no Yakima applewood smoked sea salt. Just some cupcake lobster love connection in this already classic “Eat It Don’t Tweet It” video by American Hipster + Key of Awesome.
Just as awesome, and just as much of a mirror to the annoyance of foodie fanaticism is this brilliant spoof by Vancouver neighbor Mijune Pak (“FollowMeFoodie”):
Food and TravelJay Friedman, gastronaut, is one of the most intriguing and innovative food writers in Seattle. You may know him from Seattle Weekly’s "Sexy Feast" column (Jay is a unique combination of food writer and professional sex educator) or City Arts’ “Dish-Off," in which he challenged chefs to create meals based on songs. (Jay is also a former disc jockey!) He is also a regular contributor to the national Serious Eats blog, and is the co-editor/author of the Fearless Critic Seattle restaurant guide. Jay travels extensively and shares his hedonistic adventures in occasional “Passport to Pleasure” pieces. When not eating out or writing about it, he is most likely in the kitchen making kimchi, xiao long bao, or anything with offal. You can find most of Jay’s writing at his personal blog, Gastrolust.
