Global Street Food Exhibit at Vitra Design Museum; Weil am Rhein, Germany
Global Street Food, an exhibition curated by Mike Meiré, features the accoutrements of various "improvised kitchens" from around the world, like this coffee cart from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Set up as works of art in a gallery, they're almost indistinguishable from sculptures like Marcel Duchamp's readymades—especially "Grill," from Kampala, Uganda (third photo). The exhibit is on display until July 12 at the Vitra Design Museum in Weil am Rhein, Germany. [via Kottke]...Giant Gum Sculptures by Simone Decker

Illustration by Matt Armendariz Photographer and food blogger Matt Armendariz recently illustrated the most prominent liquids in his life over at his blog, Matt Bites. No. 1 is red wine (86 percent, roughly), and at the bottom is water (0.6 percent; "Risk of personal dehydration: moderate to extreme") with coffee, nuoc cham, and soda chanh muoi in between. It's not just what liquids he ingests that's interesting, though, but the charming illustrations and commentary that go with them. Naturally, his post made me think about what my life in liquids would be. I'd pretty much just switch Matt's percentages for water and wine; I drink little else aside from water (don't have a taste for coffee or alcohol), along with...Share the Meat! Propaganda Posters
In these tough economic times we can find comfort in recalling the hardships of previous generations. During the First and Second World Wars, everything was rationed and all food mattered. I found a collection of propaganda posters, from firstworldwar.com and at the Northwestern University Library detailing what normal citizens could do to help the war effort. It seems that the messages found in these posters are still relevant today. Practical Propaganda...What Does Your Fridge Say About You?
Photographs by Mark Menjivar Until recently, I was sharing a kitchen with three other girls in a far away city. Despite any stereotype to the contrary, our kitchen—and especially our fridge—was a mess. Bags of fresh grapes were placed on the top shelf and plates of unfinished food were shoved in uncovered. It got to the point were I wouldn't even be able to hold the door open long enough to get out some juice, much less take a picture of the contents. But photographer Mark Menjivar was able to do just that in kitchens across the country. In a series called "You Are What You Eat," viewable at GOOD and markmenjivar.com, he photographed the contents of refrigerators, from...Photo of the Day: Open Signs
Photograph from mag3737 on Flickr This collection of neon "Open" signs on Flickr is pretty impressive. There's definitely a theme: usually red, capitalized, and linked with Asian food, coffee, or the Subway sandwich chain.

"Friends" by Ginou Choueiri Lebanese artist Ginou Choueiri likes drawing portraits on potatoes. "Not only is their skin porous like ours, but their skin texture and color is very similar, and like us, they come in different sizes, shapes and forms." [via Unique Daily]...In Videos: The Latte Zoo
Coffee that's too pretty to drink—not sure where I stand on this debate. This entrancing video of a barista making animal shapes with steamed milk and a stick-like tool, however, makes a good case for caffeinated piggy art. The video, after the jump....Photo of the Day: Chocolate Fawndue
