'Bitter Feast:' Mario Batali in a Straight-to-DVD Horror Film About a Food Blogger
First I should clarify that by "in" I mean, about two-and-some-change minute's worth of Mario Batali's face at the very beginning. But he does have a few lines in Bitter Feast, the bloody horror flick that somehow went under your radar (imagine that!). It's definitely the first horror film I've seen involving organic, prime grade beef burgers.DVD Giveaway: A Connecticut Hot Dog Tour

Last week we kicked off our month of Connecticut Hot Dogs with Blackie's, one of the finest examples of the state's unique "hot-relish" style, but this week we're moving on—to meat sauce. Capitol Lunch has been serving their signature, "secret recipe" Greek style meat sauce since 1929A Connecticut Hot Dog Tour: Blackie's Hot Dogs
A Connecticut Hot Dog Tour is a brand-new (and terrific) documentary from filmmaker Mark Kotlinski that takes an in-depth look at ten of Connecticut's most interesting and delicious hot dogs. Kotlinski really digs deep into the history of these places. One such place is Blackie's, an old-school hot dog joint that has really come to define Connecticut as a hot dog mecca.Is 'Eat Pray Love' a Foodie Movie?
Like the majority of other females between the ages of 20 and 60, I read Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert. And I'm not ashamed to say, I enjoyed it, in a braincandy-beach-read kind of way. Today the film adaptation starring Julia Roberts comes out, and after an early screening, I must warn moviegoers: you will leave craving pasta. And gelato. Eaten with a teeny plastic spoon on a park bench next to nuns.Revisiting 'Fast Food Nation,' the Book and Film
While the book came out in 2002 and the film in 2006, Fast Food Nation is still as relevant as ever. I checked out a film screening and Q&A with the film's director, Richard Linklater, and the book's author, Eric Schlosser. Many of the food policy issues are still unresolved.The Future of School Lunch Reform
School lunch is currently one of the hot topics in food policy. So much that a new film called Lunch Line is coming out this spring to emphasize the history and development of the school lunch program. With the influence of documentaries such as this one, and efforts of lobbying groups and researchers, hopefully the National School Lunch Program can see positive changes in the near future.'Fantastic Mr. Fox' Is a Foodie Movie
"Even the last scene takes place in a grocery store aisle where juice boxes play a key role." The cover of the Fantastic Mr. Fox soundtrack. [Image: Amazon] Over the weekend I saw Fantastic Mr. Fox, the stop-motion animation by Wes Anderson based on the kiddie-lit classic by Roald Dahl. While the book has some simple pencil sketches by Quentin Blake, the film is filled with lavish food scenes that may actually make you hungry, even if the cakes and roasted meats are made of clay. Without giving too much away, the story's whole premise revolves around Mr. Fox 's obsessive mission to steal from three bad guy farmers—Boggis, Bunce and Bean—each of whom fixates on a single type of...The Voice of Wallace in 'Wallace and Gromit' Doesn't Like Cheese
Peter Sallis, the voice of the cheese-loving professor Wallace in the British animated series Wallace and Gromit, admitted he actually doesn't care for cheese. "I don't even know if I've ever eaten Wensleydale cheese," he told the Telegraph, referring to his clay-sculpted alter ego's favorite type....Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
