Letting the Chips Fall | Proof Blog - NYTimes.com →
Our favorite WASPily named Jewess publicist and essayist of high regard, Sloane Crosley, is all up in the Times’ Proof blog talking about Lay’s potato chips and booze. If love had a flavor it would be regurgitated Maker’s Mark mixed with a hint of Frito Pie.
Here’s a choice quote:
Six shots and two beer chasers later, I grabbed the nearest receptacle — a half-empty...

True Holiday Confessions - Part 2
Yes, that was me that puked in the hood of your coat on new years eve of 2005 but in all fairness you made me do the shot and I was thrown out a short time thereafter.
True Holiday Confessions - Part 1
Someone gave my aunt a Hanukkah gingerbread house as a holiday decoration and I tried to eat part of it at the annual family latke party last weekend.
FEAR - “Fuck Christmas”
On Disgusting Things I Have Eaten
Disgust turns out to be another valuable tool for negotiating the omnivore’s dilemma. Through the emotion has long since attached itself to a great many objects having nothing to do with food, food is where and why it began, as the etymology of the word indicates. (It comes from the Middle French verb degrouster, to taste.) Rozen, who has written or coauthored several fascinating articles about...

REAL TALK: Last December I polished off a Subway Big Feast (it’s the one that is about the size of a football and has 3 of every coldcut and cheese on it) just because they used Peter Griffin as a spokesperson. Their motto, “Feed Your Face”, runs contrary to all the good work that Jared did over the years to position Subway as the healthy alternative to the...
Brandlessbrand Water: Anti-Marketing Marketing... →
Pissed off at the way bottled water products are over marketed, a collective of “entrepreneurs, beverage guys, and general marketing minds” collaborated to create a slightly less obtrusive brand of H2O. Hoping to fight water with water, Brandlessbrand describes its bottle as a “consumer-product canvas” highlighted by minimalist design style barcodes that designers can...

The Big Eater During the Reagan years, Tumi “Tummy” Takari (Gedde Watanabe) was the brightest star in the glamorous—and dangerous—firmament of competitive eating. But a burst appendix and a decision to embrace vegetarianism turned him into a mere memory on the gut-busting scene. When the brash new champion discovers Tumi sweeping the floors at a vegan patisserie, he goads the old...

The Chanel Meat Purse
{via frangry}
Sometimes, it’s hard to decide what to buy with your money. I mean you know, let’s say you have $700, you can either buy $700 worth of beef jerky OR you can get a Chanel purse. Life is filled with tough choices, but lucky for you, Nancy Wu, a product design student at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, CA has made your life easier. I present to you the Meat Purse, made...
Places Where I Have Gotten Food Poisoning In New...
Ate some rancid pizza late nite at this all-in-one cafe and was severely ill for the next 2 days. Attempted to go see Man or Astroman? at the Bowery Ballroom. Went upstairs and passed out in a dressing room and was later thrown out by a band member who shortly thereafter became my editor at a very fine publication of upstanding repute.
In an ill-advised move grabbed a caesar salad and some...

OK guys I’m back from the Great White north where I was sipping single malts at the Whistler Four Seasons for a long weekend and complaining that you just can’t get a decent grass fed steak at a reasonable price anywhere these days what with all this financial downturn and recession talk and whatnot. Anyway I digress…here is a list of five favorite dives and cocktail lounges I...
