THIS MUST BE THE PLACE is a series of short films produced and directed by Ben Wu and David Usui that explore the idea of home. The three films they have up now are excellent, each in its own way.

Warren, Connecticut. Great dinner with friends. The room was pretty dark and just a few candles were lighting the table and the light on Anne’s plate was inviting me to try out the S100 in low light.

Made by Hand / No 2 The Knife Maker from Made by Hand on Vimeo. “Buckets of blood and sweat.” (practice) “Convergence of handmade and food” (a bit of luck but more like smarts) This is an excellent video and Joel’s narration makes it even better. What he says about the satisfaction he derives from [...]

Is a Burrito a Sandwich? This is a great question and there is no one right answer since burritos have various ways of being served. If “construction” or “form” is what defines sandwich then an egg roll or burrito is certainly one. Although, most of the burritos I’ve been making and eating lately can’t be [...]

New Company Brings Produce From the Roof to the Supermarket Aisle Growing produce on your roof is a productive way to take advantage of the space, but is it possible to make it commercially viable on a larger scale? A new company’s business model may show the way. This may turn into the urban version [...]

Punchfork is a food recipe aggregator: it pulls recipes from many major food sites and displays them in an easy to browse grid. Beautiful site design. What’s interesting to me about it is the quality of the food photography on many of these sites. The recipes are interesting but the photography is spectacular. Food styling [...]

Best meal on the planet, end of story. Dustin Hostetler demonstrates eating sardines. This simple video is wonderful; he is obviously loving the building, the eating and the sharing. [via Boing Boing]

Fantastic short on making puff pastry on a semi-industrial scale. I love this stuff, reminds of me of production clay work. [via Kottke.org]

The sun was quite strong through the kitchen window this morning and lit up my orange juice even more than normal. The main camera in the iPhone continues to impress. If I take my time and work out a shot it comes close to my S90 in terms of snapshot picture quality. I still don’t [...]

San Francisco’s North Beach Old and New from Spots Unknown on Vimeo. John Gianni not only makes my mouth water with his food prep and cooking, but he brings back memories of San Francisco’s North Beach, a neighborhood I almost always visit on trips to San Francisco and have been for over thirty years. I’ll [...]

The Day The Internet Threw a Righteous Hissyfit About Copyright And Pie Great headline. Fascinating story. Linda Holmes at NPR has written the best overview I’ve read yet of this now viral story about copyright and ignorance. I particularly like that Linda makes reference to what I call virtual lynch mobs: people ganging up on [...]

The Best Thing I Ever Done HQ from MargaretEmily MacKenzie on Vimeo. This is a wonderful documentary by M.E. MacKenzie about Dom DeMarco, a pizzeria owner/operator in New York. Dom is like a character out of Moonstruck. I’ve watched this twice, will no doubt watch it again. I hope to eat one of his pizzas [...]

Many of these are found at our local orchard here in Connecticut. Our favorite is spigold which is a hybrid of northern spy and golden delicious. This is approximately one apple [...]

First Camera, Then Fork Wow, there are lots of people photographing food, less as fine art, more as keeping a photographic record of food they eat. Browsing around some of the sites linked to in the piece is actually quite amazing. While the photography is less than spectacular the variety of food is amazing.

Warren, Connecticut. Some people see Jesus in their Latte foam. I might see this pancake (in the shape of an apple) as a sign that Apple will ship a tablet, break $300 and dump AT&T as their iPhone carrier this year. Too bad I don’t believe in signs. The pancakes were great this morning.
