Weekly Links: The Trough
Once again I’ve scoured the interwebs and I’m bringing back the best, freshest food news you can find. Wrap in dry paper and don’t leave out for more than a few hours.
- I’ve made my distaste for Papa Johns and their cheese topped placenta abundantly clear, but it’s obvious people aren’t listening to me. Not listening to the tune of over a billion dollars. Fuckers.
- It’s always gross when you pull a chicken out of the package and it looks like you pulled it out of a lake, but how many of us have figured out what to do about it? Domestigeek has.
- Summer time = grill time. Here are some of the manliest grills and recipes around. This one gets bonus points for using the term CAR-B-Q.
- If you’re a filthy savage like me, you pots and pans don’t get the care they deserve. Tipnut has some…well…tips that will help get them back in shape.
- Now, if you say “Asparagus Wrapped in Pancetta with Citronette” you’re asking for a punch in the junk. But if you say “Asparagus wrapped in Italian super ham, grilled crispy and dipped in uber mustard” you’ll be looked upon as a hero for years to come. Serious Eats needs to work on their titling.
- One thing I can’t stand about foodies is their obsession with paying more. I’ve had great ingredients that cost a dollar a pound and some that cost a dollar an ounce, but cheaper always tastes better. Over at Cheap Healthy Good they share my wallet’s delicate sensibilities, and they have a post up on how to save hundreds of dollars on your food bill in 60 minutes a week.
- After this guy is done lecturing us on how we should be like Europeans and buy food daily instead of trusting the untested technology of refrigeration, he actually has some useful information on how to store chocolate. By the way I’ll adopt their shopping habits when they adopt our deodorant habits.
- And finally PopSci has a neat little article on the Science of Scotch. How you can apply scientific theory to something that touches my soul I’ve yet to understand.
