Best Food You've Had at a Music Festival?

Earlier today we brought you a photo gallery of all the bites we had at Outside Lands in San Francisco over the weekend. But the weekend prior to that, we were actually jamming at Lollapalooza. Though people don't attend the festival for the food, the selections are getting better and better. Chicago chef Graham Elliot, who also just opened Grahamwich, was in charge of the festival's Chow Town for the second year in a row.

Video: Post-Katrina Urban Gardens in New Orleans

This video tells the story of several different New Orleans residents who came back to the city after the storm to rebuild and start making food in abandoned lots. You can't really tell a New Orleans story without music, but thankfully one of our farmers happened to play in the Treme Brass Band! Special thanks to BrassRootsmovie.com for letting us tag along for their film shoot.

Video: Hip Hop Kimbap

I love kimbap enough to consider roaming the streets of Seoul dressed up in a kimbap costume while rapping about my love of kimbap, but considering how well this Korean hip hop trio does it, I'll just stay at home and watch them do it.

Hidden Gems: Smoke Jazz Club in NYC

People don't usually go to jazz clubs for the food. "It's almost as if they intentionally make it bad to make you appreciate the music more," Ed said in his previous review of Smoke Jazz Club. Of course there have been exceptions, and we still think Smoke Jazz Club uptown is one of them.

Video: Filipino Foods ('California Gurls' Parody)

"I know a place where the foods is always better"—and that place is the Philippines. If you've tasted the joys of lechon, chicken adobo, sinigang, and lumpia, you know Filipino food is worth singing about, in this case as a cover of a Katy Perry song. [Warning: Contains lots of autotune.]

Video: British Dairy Company Yeo Valley's Rap Ad 'Live in Harmony'

"I'm rolling in my Massey on a summer's day / Chugging cold milk while I'm baling hay." It's just another typical day for the young, fit, and attractive farmers at Yeo Valley in Bladgon, England, as they tend to their cows and make organic dairy products. ...And rap about it.

Do You Wear Food-Themed T-Shirts?

SE'r Nick Kindelsperger tipped us to these new shirts from Hot Doug's, the Chicago hot dog mecca where you can get everything from the classic Chicago dog to wild game sausage to foie gras dogs—but not burgers, silly. The shirt is a nod to the Sex Pistols' album Never Mind the Bollocks, of course. Zach Brooks already caught onto the whole restaurant-shirt-is-the-new-concert-tee trend back in 2008. And apparently, they still are! Do you have a favorite food-themed shirt you throw on like a distressed Stones tee?
