- I’ve never really been tempted back into the food industry after doing the low-level hard work at its edges. Nick Paumgarten’s review of Damon Baehrel’s home restaurant tempts me. He’s cooking ridiculous, foraged food that may or may not be a complete lie and I’m still not entirely sure if diners are in on the joke or not. I secretly hope his artisanal tree saps are just sugar and water. Maybe the real joke is earnestness.
- What if your influencer is actually a potato?
- Why icecream trucks play a particular tune.
- Why wait for armageddon when you could be immediately eating the food that you had been storing in your bunker? Ironic survivalism is going to be huge.

- Once upon a time, public relations folk would spam food bloggers with press releases – Now, prepare to be spammed with actual SPAM. Or at least, whatever processed garbage can be mailed to you.
- The correlation between lack of publishing for scientists and their beer consumption – The NY Times forgets that correlation does not equal causality.

Bad Korean food ideas: Meat in a waffle cone

Not a moment passes when I don’t think that the ultimate summer food experience would be to have a cone of gelati in one hand and a cone of grilled steak in the other. And possibly a third hand for an India pale ale. Despite what fast food companies will have us believe, not every food is designed to be eaten with one hand and I believe that Balena is pushing the boundaries of sanity by presenting Chicken Alfredo in a cone.
