Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
I am going to Googa Mooga, but I don’t think I fully understand what it is. These videos confused me even more. Still, I appreciate some stylish food porn to get my breakfast appetite going.
Check out their youtube channel to see Big Gay Ice Cream and others in a similar light.

Modernist Cuisine: The Art and Science of Cooking
No, Srsly. Its a cook book that takes a scientific look at cooking with a gnarly artistic edge. I mean, this is food porn like you’ve never seen it. And some of it is done for the pure food-porny-ness of it. Like shooting half a dozen eggs with a bullet. It is a 5 volume 2,200 page “cook book to end all cook books” and it costs $625. For those of us who aren’t quite ready for that kind of financial commitment, there is a 20 page preview available for PDF download that includes the “why?!” of this magnificent book.

Back from Vacation. Here’s a slo-mo ex-plo to kick off the week.

Bark Birthday
My birthday just passed and to celebrate I called my buddies out to Bark Hot Dogs on Bergen street for some good local eats and drinks. Those who RSVP’d “yes” to my e-vite were listed under “I support Mandi and her aging.” I should probably thank everyone for supporting my aging AND for making it through the rain. What troopers.
Its not exactly a bar, but Bark has great drink specials and prices you can’t beat ($5 for any Six Points on draught, $18 for growlers), and of course scrumptious hot dogs. Oyster man and I shared 4 hot dogs of the course of the night, my favorite being the Pickle Dog, and I even got to double-fist for a while with fresh brewed Plowshares coffee and a Six Point Diesel Stout.
Choosing the place was a no brainer for me; quality inexpensive food sourced mostly from local farms, near a ton of trains, close enough to stumble home, open until 2am, and we got to sit around two long tables in what became our own little corner of the restaurant. Exactly. Duh.
With as many foodie friends as I have, I was thrilled to have mostly first-timers, including Ben Van Leeuwen and his wife and business partner, Laura O’neil, and Anna Carnick of Behind the Burner and editor of Artslope.
My friend Mona Buehler also of Behind the Burner jumped on FaceBook mobile and updated her status “Bark Hot Dogs: so worth the rain trek. Scrumptious Kraut Dog and the NYC Dog has nice sweet n’ sour onion thing going on. And Six Point Bengali Tiger IPA hits the spot.”
If I weren’t in party mode I would’ve been “social networking” it up too… or taking pictures with my blackberry to send to my blog like usual ( “hey look what I’m eating!”). Oyster man likes to remind me that the world doesn’t ALWAYS have to know what I’m eating :) besides, maybe the fact that I was too busy nom’ing on my hot dog assortment is an indication that they were too good to think about photographing. However, incase you still want that food porn fix I’ll make it easier for you.
