Two rival streetwear companies recently got into a brawl at Max Fish, and being that it’s 2010, the entire thing was caught on video. It’s hard to determine which is worse, the fight itself or the quality of the camera work, especially compared to last week’s royal rumble at Blockheads .

Last night, as I shuffled down St Martins Lane on my way to dinner, I couldn’t help casting a glance towards Cantina Laredo. Everything looked the same as my previous visit – the phalanx of superfluous staff huddled around the entrance, the hotel buffet décor, the tourist clientele.

When I lived in France, I had the most marvelous marinated salad, which was composed mostly of celeriac, or celery root as it is sometimes known. It’d usually be served cold (or at room temperature)… [[ This is a content summary only

Recipe #140: Mujaddara (Lentil & Rice Pilaf with Carmelized Onions)
Anyone who has been following this blog for long enough will have noticed that I don’t really talk about wine very much. At first it was because I decided I didn’t know enough about it to make any salient points, and so I just kept quiet rather than run the risk of embarrassing myself. Following that, there was a period of time where I made a conscious effort to learn more and write more about wine, and I can’t thank enough wine lovers like Robert Macintosh of Wine Conversation and Dan and Gareth of Bibendum who have gamely and enthusiastically organised some wonderful events and tastings for food bloggers in the face of what must have been a frustratingly slow and amateurish response (although I’m talking mainly about myself here).

I was told that visiting Steveston, BC without doing the traditional ‘fish and chips’ was pretty much doing it all wrong. So, JT and I decided (albeit a tad late) to have dinner at the docks. We couldn’t get to Paijo’s because they were closing (yeah, even if it’s super sunny at 8pm, it’s still 8pm and thus some of the restaurants are closed, particularly on Sunday).

‘You are now In London, that great sea, whose ebb and flow At once is deaf and loud, and on the shore Vomits its wrecks, and still howls on for more. Yet in its depth what treasures!’ (Percy Bysshe Shelley, letter to Maria Gisborne, 1820) It’s easy to fall out of love with London life – the city’s din and dirt can get to even the most nonchalant native – but with a little urban rummaging, it’s equally easy to fall right back in love again.

Today there are many opportunities to eat outdoors, but for much of our history it was fairly uncommon. Partly explained by dust and dirt from unpaved roads, even in the 20th century when this had been overcome there were still few outdoor restaurants, particularly with the spread of air-conditioning after World War II. Though impossible to quantify, it’s possible that dining in open air was more in vogue in the late 18th century than in 1960.
