Critic-Turned-Cook Steps Up Her Game at Tom Douglas' Culinary Camp
I went to camp this week. Not weenie-roasting, Kumbaya-singing, capture-the-flag camp, but the Tom Douglas Culinary Camp: five days of demos and eating, cooking competitions and more eating, then some drinking and some snacks, and maybe the chance to chat up a famous chef like Vikram Vij from Vij's in Vancouver, B.C., a restaurant that's so freaking fantastic people are willing to wait three hours for a table.Coffee News in Pasadena, NYC, and Seattle
These times represent a national acceptance of quality, handmade coffee. Cafes all over are rethinking the "faster is better" mentality and refusing to compromise quality for volume. From Intelligentsia's grand view of what a cafe can be, New York's Chelsea Market getting a visit from an espresso machine manufacturer, and a passionate barista in Seattle putting his foot down, things are heating up this summer for coffee nationwide.Cochon 555 in Seattle: Sausage, Sliders, and Pork-a-Fours
Cochon 555 is a traveling pork fest that launched last year to showcase heritage breeds. When it made its way to Seattle on Sunday, organizer Brady Lowe was limping on crutches after a now-famous food fight last week in Portland where he was assaulted after an afterparty. Talk about some feral pig!Beer Festivals and Events Across America from April to September

Most festivals have discounted tickets for designated drivers—plan ahead and be safe!Seattle's Cask Beer Festival Showcases the Ultimate of Microbrewing
The Kung Fu is strong with Washington State's microbreweries, and the talented, imaginative local brewers were in top form at the 2010 Seattle Cask Fest, held at the Seattle Fisher Pavillion on March 27. Produced by the Washington Beer Commission, an organization devoted to promoting local brewers in the state, Cask Fest is an annual celebration of a method of beermaking that is rarely practiced, but one that yields truly unique results.Coffee Fest Comes To New Jersey
People from all over the East Coast flocked to the Meadowlands Exposition Center in New Jersey last weekend to experience a taste of the specialty coffee tradeshow Coffee Fest, held from March 5 to 7. This gathering of coffee enthusiasts originated back in 1992 in Seattle as a way to connect specialty coffee producers with its growing fan base. Here's a look back at the festival.This Sunday, Taste Vintage Beer at The Pike Brewing Company in Seattle
[Image: The Pike Brewing Company] I've got some wine aging in my "cellar" (code for "closet"—not ideal for storing fermented grape juice, but that's life in the big city), yet I'd never heard of drinking vintage beer until I got an invite for a vertical tasting of The Pike Brewing Company's Old Bawdy. On Sunday, January 31, they'll be pouring Old Bawdy that was brewed more a decade ago in the pub's own Beer Museum. The Pike, one of the pioneers of this country's microbrew movement, celebrated its 20th anniversary last fall by pouring a special brew spiked with Washington State cherries and aged in an oak wine barrel....Favorite Drinks from the Wine Rave at the San Diego Bay Wine & Food Festival

"If any attendees walked out of Baconfest disappointed, 100% of the blame falls on their defective palates." Inside-out pig in a blanket from David Burke's Primehouse. [Photographs: Daniel Zemans] You never know when inspiration is going to hit. For Michael Griggs and Andre Pluess, it came early this year after seeing the Neo-Futurists perform Beer, a puppet-filled musical about the visions of a ten-year-old boy who gets drunk after sneaking into a brewery. The play left Michael and Andre wondering what they loved as much as the playwright loved beer. Before long, they had their muse: Bacon. Once that realization hit, the wheels started turning and they decided to plan a huge tribute to bacon. Late that night, they called...Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
