Yesterday, The Wall Street Journal ran a fairly standard piece on how star chefs have been making the leap to the cocktail circuit lately and in the process, revolutionizing the mixed drink. However, the most intriguing parts of the article are the details of Grant Achatz’s new project: a bar . Boom

Tonight’s quiz featured a battle between the musical-knowledge haves and have-nots, with the three top teams jokering superb 2nd round results, and more or less maintaining that lead throughout the game. A crushingly difficult round 8 kept the other teams from making the jump at the last minute.

Everyone thinks Nathan Fillion (from firefly) subscribes to Cat Fancy, and Lady Gaga refers to all of her fans as Little Monsters, and now I will start calling all of my quizees monsters in an attempt to be more like the Lady herself. Maybe next week I’ll dress up like a crazy rock geode building, or wear a scary lace mask..

Geek Bowl has come and gone and sadly, the award will not return to New Mexico. No big deal, though. We’re the kind of state that quietly is smarter than anyone, and we don’t have nuthin’ to prove to no one.

This is not going to be a long post. I’d love to give you the usual blow-by-blow account of the more than a dozen small dishes we were served at Bob Bob Ricard on Friday, a thoughtful and precise analysis of the mix of flavours and ingredients, and a concise rundown of the styles and influences of this unique Russian-British restaurant. I’d love to talk about the charming, bloody-minded drive of our hosts Leonid and Richard, who have against all odds (and, let’s face it, all notions of common sense) opened a huge, lavishly fitted-out restaurant and private member’s bar, looking like a cross between the Moulin Rouge and an opium den, in the tail-end of the biggest recession to hit this country since the 1930s

Finding a decent glass of wine in India is enough to drive a person to drink. While wine is increasingly popular – consumption is expected to increase between 25 per cent and 30 per cent a year between 2009 and 2012 – polite drinkers would probably describe many of the over-sweet offerings from the nation’s vineyards as “passable”. Others would be able to come up with some much pithier descriptions says Jason Staines of Monocle , the well-regarded global briefining magazine.

One thing that Ferran Adria will be doing on his break is figuring out how to get the funding he needs, and in the process, possibly change the fundamental way that restaurants work : “We’re looking at a variety of revenue streams going forward. We plan to operate like a foundation, but it will be a highly creative, highly expensive format to support.

Bloggers around town have praised Josef Centeno ’s newly opened downtown bistro, Lazy Ox Canteen , and today The Goldster joins the chorus with his two cents: “Other chefs could probably spin four or five restaurants from the controlled chaos of Lazy Ox — a new-wave cantina, a modern bistro, a Japanese-influenced pub, a tapas bar — and occasionally it seems as if Centeno should edit his menu a bit more tightly …In a meal with seven or eight shared tastes, there will probably be one you won’t like. Still, Centeno’s vigorous, imaginative and not-quite-polished cooking is the sort of thing you want to dive into : Flavors from a dozen food cultures ramming into and across and through each other…Lazy Ox is fun with a big group of people — the ewww factor can be a bit overwhelming : Charred octopus with lima beans or steamed whelks will never be as popular as cheeseburgers.” [ LAW ]

When Andrew from 30 Words first contacted us for a review of their unique language guides, he was insistent on one thing: I had to attempt to ruin the review models he sent by trying to tear them, spill water on them and, most importantly, do a pull-up off one of them . Game on! His passion for his product was warranted: these little guides really are that strong. First impressions mean a lot to this reviewer

This is one of those posts I’ve been thinking about writing for a really long time now (ever since I started running contests, giving away stuff that is sponsored by local and sometimes, not-so-local businesses and highlighting local stuff, from the Metro Vancouver sustainability breakfasts to local theatre productions, to restaurants I have eaten at or bars I’ve had a drink). The problem is that this year I have had way less time to blog than I used to in 2008 and 2009.

It was the haggis dim sum that was the hook, at least for me. There’s nothing like a bizarre or ill-conceived food fusion to make a hilarious evening and a post that writes itself – in fact for many weeks after I learned of the hideous ‘Brazilian/Sushi’ mashup that is Sushinho I was desperate to go and see if it really was as bad as everyone said , even if it meant paying through the nose for it.

When I was in Hong Kong back in October I saw these really cute independent zines called Booday and I selected one for purchase. I ended up regretting not getting more issues because it has a wonderful but simplistic aesthetics – illustrations and photography that feels natural (see sample pages here ). Each issue explores a different theme, most of them related to LOHAS
