Announcing the Great American Food & Music Fest
Oh man, that sounds great. Thanks for the pointer!
Subliminal Dinnerware
I may order these for the kids. I'm tired of being the nagging father.
In Design: A Kitchen Renovation VI
Like @cybele, we did concrete countertops in our kitchen...about five years ago now. We absolutely love them -- they will take on the very occasional red wine stain (it was late, we were drunk, no motivation to clean up the kitchen), but they're durable, solid and good looking.
We did ours through Concrete Works in Oakland, CA -- they're really friendly and provide great service. http://www.concreteworks.com/
Our favorite Fish Patties
Ohhhh, delicious.
Mario Unclogged: Clocks in Restaurants
@thegreatlumpia -- "At the table, one does not grow old." I love that; time does stop when you're enjoying a great meal...
Alinea's Grant Achatz Diagnosed with Cancer
Indeed. Our night at Alinea was far and away the best -- and most inventive -- meal we'd ever had. We're hoping modern medicine can do its thing, and quickly. Our thoughts are with you, Chef!
Question of the Day: How do you want those eggs done?
After watching the Gordon Ramsay video, I want my eggs just like that.
Jacques Torres's Chocolate Egg
Holy cow that's one beautiful egg.
The Smallest Pancake
Oh no -- the site has been suspended! They got "Eated" and probably went over their bandwidth limit. And now I can't learn about the unorthodox method for yielding a very small pancake! Which means my kids are suffering by being deprived of very small pancakes. And worst of all - they don't even KNOW they're being deprived of these lilliputian pancakes.
Alright. Do people really hate fruitcake?
I love fruit, and I love cake. But I've yet to enjoy a single bite of fruitcake. Maybe I'm trying the wrong ones, but they've always been too dense, too odd-tasting, too...something. It's like the cake's trying too hard to be something it shouldn't.
A Toast from Serious Eats
Congrats! Looking forward to eating seriously!

Great pics. Had a special night at The Aviary this summer (including a trip to The Office) and was blown away. What I love about the Achatz / Kokonas equation is how they manage to deliver such unreal food & drinks, while their staff is super friendly and down to earth. Everyone has the right amount of that Chicago self-deprecating humor, which takes the edge off and puts you at ease.
