Last month I spent four days vacationing in the small resort town of Manchester, Vermont. During this trip we ate only at locally-owned restaurants and shops where I had some of the most freshly prepared food I have ever tasted. The one thing that I couldn’t help but notice was that each place had a [...]

a new vision for cookbooks
Cooking Dinner Vol. I from William Hereford is a beautifully filmed and wonderful concept for the food preparation experience. The imagery with perfectly fitting typography and soundtrack really indulges all of your senses while cooking. With the redefinition of how content is created, shared, and digested, Cooking Dinner Vol. 1 definitely gets the mental wheels [...]

eat your crayons!
Remember when you were yelled at as a kid for eating your crayons? Well now you can! Crayon (made of food!) is a set of food bars made by Luxirare. Crushing up various foods of the same color family and using marshmallow to hold the ingredients together, crayons are formed in a mold. The flavors are based on [...]

rice: the chinese staple
Did you ever realize that there’s an insane variety of rice products in the Chinese diet?! Rice porridge (congee), dumplings, noodles, and buns are just a handful.

bacon chocolate bar
Bacon!! Mo’s Bacon Bar, to be exact. I had a taste of this mini-chocolate bar the other day and the salty, sweet flavor was pretty good!

invasion of public space: chinese sausages
Found in Danshui (淡水), a port city north of Taipei, Taiwan: “禁止设摊” (Jin4 zhi3 she4 tan1) translates to “It’s forbidden to set up a vendor’s stand” I suppose as long as you are not directly selling the items from this public space, it’s perfectly acceptable to use the space for storage or display of your vending [...]

Vancouver: Japadog!
Coming across this very humorous series of infotoons on Flickr, I was oddly reminded of the absolutely most delicious hotdog I’d ever had; it was at Japadog during my trip to Vancouver. The streetfood cart of hotdogs called Japadog was amazing! No wonder when we first tried to line up, we waited nearly 10 min and [...]
