That’s right, we’ve packed it in and moved shop. Sorry tumbr…I liked you a lot but ultimately wanted more control over the site.
Latin Food Vendors to Stay at Brooklyn Soccer... →
Good news for the red hook ball field vendors (and the people who love the food)…they’ll be invited back for another six years - at roughly the same cost as they’ve been paying. It’s not all rosy (some of them will need significant investments to appease the health department) but overall, it’s good.
koReservations →
Momofuku Ko’s simple online reservation. I wonder if they’ll really honor the “first come, first served” promise. Part of me can’t believe that celebrities and other muckittymucks won’t get a better shot than nobodies.
How the Clover could change the way we think about... →
Now that’s an expensive coffee maker. I’ve been to the place in williamsburg that sells stuff from this machine and it is good…but not 500x better than a french press.

The Way We Cooked: Varmints →
Vintage recipes from Gourmet. Learn how to cook beaver, woodchuck, raccoon, and more. I was a little disappointed to learn the editors didn’t retest these recipes (dating from the 40s, 50s, and 60s).
Developing Intelligence : Caffeine: A User's Guide... →
Fascinating, informed article on caffeine and how to use it. [via bitten]
The Ultimate Grocery List →
Never Forget an Item at the Supermarket. This downloadable pdf might be a little outdated (find film to develop?!) but still quite handy. That said, maybe the entire concept is outdated in this age of FreshDirect. [thanks chris]

Vegetarian Frustrations, Vegetarian Solutions →
I’m not linking to this NY Times Diner’s Journal post because I care about the plight of vegetarians (I’m sorry…it IS your choice and it IS your responsibility to choose a restaurant that can cater to your needs), I’m linking to this because towards the end there’s an update on the state of things at Devi, posted about in the past.
A List of Regional Pizza Styles →
From Slice, an exhausive list of the many styles of pizza.
Gourmet Redesigns Website →
At first glance, a very nice overhaul for Gourmet’s website. I particularly like the focus on video - a natural trend for food sites to jump on.
Hotel Delmano - Williamsburg's New Cocktail Bar →
I’m excited. Who doesn’t like to overpay for fancy cocktails? Seriously. More info on grubstreet.
Canning Craft Beer →
Speaking of craft beer in a can, I’m partial to Porkslap Pale Ale - but that might just be because of the name.
Free Rebel Yell Bourbon + BBQ @ Bar BQ →
I’ve never had Rebel Yell Bourbon - but it’s free for a solid hour every Monday at Bar BQ in Park Slope. I’ve heard good things about the que, too. [thanks caleb]
Vincent Gruppuso, 67, Seller of Pudding Snacks,... →
I really like Kozy Shack rice pudding. I didn’t realize it was so local. Hopefully the company continues on without its founder.
fromage de tête →
I think I’m going to try and make this using a pig’s head from my friend Jonathan at Bobolink.
First Draft by Lew Bryson →
Excellent beer column from Portfolio magazine. With convenient RSS. According to the recent entry “Pucker Up, Buttercup” sour is the new hoppy.

Haven’t read these all yet, but here’s an interesting-looking update to the summer’s “101 Simple Meals” articles.

Take that, Turducken. As intriguing at this is, it doesn’t look in any way appetizing. (thanks Caleb)
Jacques Pépin Eats Everything Except Raw Fetuses →
I’m a big fan of Jacques Pépin, but the only reason I’m linking to this item is due to its ridiculous headline.
Edible Cocktail, The →
This sounds great. In some ways, though, it reminds me of the vodka-soaked watermelon thing. Sitll, it combines two recent passions (pickles and booze). [via Brock]
Whiskey Ice Cream →
Sounds good…with some of that bourbon I’m sure to be getting for Christmas.
building howbigismypotato →
Back in October, I linked to a site that helps you, uh, measure your potato. At the time, I asked, “huh?” Now I have the answer.
Bourbon’s Shot at the Big Time →
Have I mentioned that bourbon is a great gift idea?
Meat Processors Look for Ways to Keep Ground Beef... →
Ground beef is just kind of gross, unless you’re grinding it yourself (and who does that, really?). Eating pre-made hamburger patties is close to insane.
Balducci's offers ham for Chanukah →
Now that’s just not kosher.
Tomorrow Is Repeal Day →
Some local bars, including Spike Hill in Williamsburg, are celebrating Repeal Day with drink specials.

The Unluckiest Sous-chef Ever →
Wow. I can’t believe this is a real PSA. I was going to actually post the video directly, but was so horrified I couldn’t bring myself to do it. You’ve been warned.
