It was a pleasure to cook with Studiofeast this past Sunday for their 2nd “Studiofeast Sunday.” These are small intimate events that pack a big gustatory punch. Our lovely hosts, Brian Quinn and Jessica Lawrence opened their home and Brian mixed killer cocktails and paired wines with aplomb.
Check out this menu:
- Lobster, Burrata, Green Apple, Micro Arugula
- Winter Vegetable, Bagna Cauda, Chili
- Split Pea, Bacon, Creme Fraiche, Miso Toast
- 72 Hr Short Rib, White Bean, Fennel, Carrot
- Zeppole, Sichuan Pepper Hot Chocolate, Fig
This was every bit as good as it looks.
Do you have a soft spot for Texas? A hankering to be a part of a film project documenting cowboys, photographers, and filmmakers as they ride (on horseback!) the famous Chisholm Trail, placing historical markers along the way? Then let’s help make this project happen.
They need help fundraising, so if you have connections in Texas/the fundraising world, or if you want to make a donation yourself, let them know.
Brief explanation here:
With a small team of cowboys and documentary filmmakers, we plan to ride the 400 miles north from San Antonio to Red River Station, just outside of Nocona, Texas, documenting the rich history along the way. We will be working with local historians, county sheriff departments, and the Brazos, Hill Country, and Independence Trail branches of the Texas Heritage Trails Program to trace the original route, and tell as much of the story of the Chisholm Trail as we can.

Chisholm Trail Ride (by icopythat)
I am going to be riding horseback 400 miles along the Chisholm Trail in Texas traveling with Tyler Sharp, who I met at Phoot Camp.
We are trying to generate interest in the trail and help it become a National Historic Trail, place markers along the trail, and create a documentary of the entire process.
We need funds. Kickstarter is where the cool kids hang out, but we would like the donors to also get a tax deduction, which means indie gogo. Has anyone had to choose? Any other ideas on how to raise money? What are your thoughts?

Shamus Jones, founder of Brooklyn Brine, shows us how these certified badass “pickle nerds” churn out 600-1000 jars of pickles per day.
When I first met Shamus they were pickling in a restaurant kitchen in the wee hours of the morning, amazing to see how far they’ve come!
My favorite Brooklyn Brine creation are the Fennel Beet pickles, but the new Maple Bourbon Bread and Butter just might come a close second.

Excellent piece in the HuffPo by my friend Cathy Erway [of (among other things) Not Eating Out in New York fame], on Paula Deen’s recent announcement of her three-year-old diabetes diagnosis. I know it is asking Deen to live up to a higher moral standard than most, but when you are a public figure that makes a living demonstrating to millions your favored methods of cooking, and those methods are known to be of great detriment to your health as well as the health of the masses…you look like a fool to hide behind your network (and now pharmaceutical) sponsors instead of admitting that it’s time to make serious lifestyle changes.
“I see a great missed opportunity for healthy food initiatives, organizations, and the general public in Deen’s failure to publicly recognize the errs of her gluttonous ways and perhaps partner with them instead. But that doesn’t mean it has to be everyone’s. It means we need more standing up in — okay, a reactionary — unison, and demanding good food in television and best-selling cookbooks as well as on the shelves.” - Cathy Erway
![For the gleaners: the more food that is in front of you, the more you will eat. Understand appropriate portion size, (e.g. 1.5 oz of cheese is the size of a 9V battery) and try to keep healthier foods around you so when you do reach for a snack it won’t be as detrimental to your waistline.
