Jack, an 'Occasional Restaurant' Grows in Brooklyn
I'm on the NYCfoodbloggers list, which is a great resource for finding out about all sorts of interesting events and items that often fly under the radar. A few months back, the list administrator, Danielle of Habeas Brulée, floated the notion among fellow food bloggers of leasing a space to start a free-form restaurant where different food bloggers would take turns cooking on different nights. It stemmed from her interest in cooking for the public here and there, just not full-time. Fast-forward to today, when an email with an update about her idea appeared in my in-box: Jack is an occasional restaurant, by which we mean that it is only occasionally in existence. We are open for one seating per...Some Sharp Chef Blogs
The Los Angeles Times rounds up a list of some great chef blogs, saying that "chefs are suddenly taking to blogging as if it were the foam of 2008." Heh. That's pretty good. What differentiates the chef blogs from regular home-cook blogs, says writer Regina Schrambling, is that "chefs tend to focus on the story behind the food, on the thought process that original cooking entails," rather than "nattering about what they fed their boyfriends last night." While I think there's room, of course, for both kinds of blogs (and that blog readers turn to the different experience levels for different reasons), I have been enjoying the behind-the-scenes peek and the tips that come from these pressure-tested cooks. Among...Can I Take Your Picture?
"Are you a blogger too? Give me your camera. I’ll take a really blurry, close-up picture of the grapefruit in my salad. When do you think people are going to start making fun of bloggers?" —Danny Meyer [via Dan D.]...Mark 'The Minimalist' Bittman Now Blogging
For someone who writes under the column title "The Minimalist," the New York Times food columnist, cookbook author, and television personality Mark Bittman sure seems to have set an expansive focus on his new New York Times blog Bitten. Besides the stripped-down easy-to-follow recipes he's known for: We’ll also bat around the big ideas that foodies sometimes ignore: how it gets produced and moved from one place to another, as well as who pays for it and profits from it.... What else? There will be other regular features as well — loads of new recipes; guest posters; Minimalist video clips...; reports from my (and your) food-related travels; and more....How Do You Nacho?
Photograph from The Homesick TexanThe admittedly dead-simple nacho recipe I posted yesterday prompted Serious Eater intheyearofthepig to offer a link to The Homesick Texan's Nachos 101. I admire and agree with Lisa Fain's take on the Texas-style take on the dish: My dad asked me a very serious question the other day. He was concerned, since I’d lived away from Texas for so long, where I fell on the nacho spectrum. Did I prefer a pile of chips with some toppings slopped on willy-nilly or did I prefer each nacho to be one chip toasted with a tasteful spread of Longhorn cheddar cheese and a sliced jalapeno. I was shocked he even had to ask. For me, and for every...Paupered Chef Relaunches
Our Dinner Tonight contributors, Nick Kindelsperger and Blake Royer, have redesigned and relaunched their blog, Paupered Chef, with a new direction: "We want to start doing more intensive investigations of cooking topics, things that take a lot of research, patience, and time. Slow-cooking. Like curing meat. Like preserving and canning. Like making cheese. And hopefully, making these artisanal products ourselves, we'll save some money along the way."...Help a Grad Student: Take This Food Blog Survey

If you're a U.S. citizen, spare a few minutes to fill out Leena Trivedi-Grenier's survey about food blogs in the U.S. to help her graduate with a Masters in Gastronomy at the University of Adelaide. Check out her blog Leena Eats for more information....Tempting Ed Levine
So Serious Eats overlord Ed Levine is on a diet. Which kinda blows for the rest of us here in the office because it means the days of "Oh, I just stopped at the bakery on the way in and picked up one of everything they had" are over. That's why I'm supporting Kevin Weeks (right, proprietor of Seriously Good) in his (good-natured, I think?) blog war against Ed: So over the next 12 months I will tempt Mister Ed Levine with sandwiches. Sandwiches he, the fancy New Yorker, can’t possibly duplicate or, if he does, will be bad for his health. I, too, am risking my health in this culinary Russian Roulette, but I'm confident that I will prevail...Meet & Eat: Yen & Michi
Yen and Michi's blog, Lunch, is exactly what it sounds like: a blog about lunch, updated daily with a photo of what they had for lunch and a 4 p.m. snack. A virtual peephole into Yen and Michi's day, Lunch inspires me to take the time for lunch. We get to know Yen and Michi in this week's Meet & Eat. Name: Yen Ha and Michi Yanagishita Location: New York City Occupation: Architects at Front Studio URL: lunchstudio.blogspot.com What prompted you to start your blog, Lunch? We've always eaten lunch the way we do (which is to say everywhere and everything) and we've always had this slight obsession with cataloging, so it seemed normal to combine the two compulsions in...Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
