Blogwatch: Gazpacho
I cannot wait for heirlooms to get ripe enough for picking. The supermarket tomatoes right now still are so flavorless. Looking forward to cooling off with some zesty gazpacho this summer.
Who's Hotter? Young Colicchio vs. Young Bourdain
Bourdain for sure. There's nothing sexier than a man with a sharp wit and provocative intelligence.

Uh, who had to chew all of this to get it to just the right consistency? ;)

Oh man, kids would go nuts for this!
Blogwatch: Gazpacho
My understanding of "traditional" gazpacho is that tomato, bell pepper, and onion are essential, everything else varies by taste and what you have on hand (though I was taught not to put in leafy greens unless I wanted gray soup), and proportions/texture/liquidness are also extremely flexible.
I've got a blender-full chilling in my fridge right now. Yum! I may have to try that avocado garnish.

I would agree that this isn't traditional gazpacho. I'm no expert, but I did live in Spain for 6 months and I ate my fair share of gazpacho while there. I think it's also safe to say that no momma or grandma in the whole of Spain makes it the same way either. Just because it's not traditional doesn't mean it can't be tasty!

I´m a big fan of Ree´s, but that ain´t gazpacho, nor anything remotely resembling it, you know. In Spain gazpacho is blended, and every grandmother accross the land would die rather than include zucchini and celery. Where on earth did that idea spring from? Here´s a true version

Might want to edit link in story to The Pioneer WomAn.

Down in Northwest Florida there is a traditional salad called a Gazpachee Salad made with a hard bread called hard tack, that is soaked in tomatos, cucumbers and onions. Hard tack was used on sailing ships and is very hard so it needs to be broken apart with a hammer -- Makes a GREAT salad!

avocado goes great in gazpacho. i make a corn and avocado gazpacho that is perfect for summer. The acid in the tomatoes also keep the avocados from turning brown, so it keeps for a day or two.
Who's Hotter? Young Colicchio vs. Young Bourdain
But the question really is: Jew-fro or wench?
Who's Hotter? Young Colicchio vs. Young Bourdain
Bourdain makes the perfect slacker, semi-stalkerish ex-boyfriend you just can't quit!
Who's Hotter? Young Colicchio vs. Young Bourdain
Tom for sure. Tony looks to much like my dad...both young tony and current tony!
Who's Hotter? Young Colicchio vs. Young Bourdain
Definitely Tom - Peachfish was right about the other guy looking like Herman Munster!
Who's Hotter? Young Colicchio vs. Young Bourdain
Tom Collicio to Prom (he'd definately photograph better) but for sure Tony for the After Prom. But, I'd be the Designated Driver!!
Who's Hotter? Young Colicchio vs. Young Bourdain
Bourdain, hands down. Wicked smart, exceedingly snarky, hair that would have scandalized my mother, AND the best weed in town? There is just no down side to young Anthony.
Who's Hotter? Young Colicchio vs. Young Bourdain
Bourdain is hot, but he'd be hotter without that hair. Ugh!
Who's Hotter? Young Colicchio vs. Young Bourdain
They're both sexy as hell; although I really mean as they are today; and that's a testament to age!. Back then Bourdain looks like the typical bad-boy, while I prefer Collicio today. Bald head and all!
Who's Hotter? Young Colicchio vs. Young Bourdain
Comeon, I love Bourdain, but you can't beat Colicchio's baby blues!
Who's Hotter? Young Colicchio vs. Young Bourdain
Oh, my goodness. Boorish Bourdain? Not on your life. I used to think he was an acquired taste, but the more I watched, the more I (intensely) disliked him. Colicchio, hands down.
Who's Hotter? Young Colicchio vs. Young Bourdain
ohhhh tony, the aloof chisled jaw and all that pent up moxie. go tony.
Who's Hotter? Young Colicchio vs. Young Bourdain
That pic of Tom C. looks like Greg Brady, he is very sexy now, as a bald hottie.
Anthony Bourdain is a great chef, however, I don't get the women finding him sexy. UGH.
Who's Hotter? Young Colicchio vs. Young Bourdain
food girl...you took the words right outta my mouth.
Who's Hotter? Young Colicchio vs. Young Bourdain
Collichio's the guy I would have followed around like a lost puppy hoping to god he didn't figure I was gay.
Who's Hotter? Young Colicchio vs. Young Bourdain
Where's the Mario Batali high school photo? Just for comparison, you know. I wonder if his hair looked interesting as a teen.
Who's Hotter? Young Colicchio vs. Young Bourdain
Well said Food Gal-- great minds evaluate alike!
