SLT: March
Sorry everyone, but I’m going to have to postpone March’s Sous La Terre. I’ve been a lot busier with the new cycling team and this year’s road season than I had imagined, and things are not letting up at work. Having too many things on my plate is stressing me out! Anyway, to all of those who have expressed interest: I apologize. I hope you all understand!

“If you need anything, please tell me.” So said the email from Ferran Adria to Grant Achatz. What the kitchen staff of Next needed a week ago was the recipe for elBulli’s famed gorgonzola sphere. They didn’t get it. “They were setting up the exhibit in Barcelona and they were, I’m sure, incredibly busy so they kind of went off the grid,” chef Achatz says. “We had four recipes that we...

Interview
A few weeks ago, I was interviewed by a friend, Uyen Cao, for a column in the UC Davis’ student-run publication, The California Aggie. I forgot all about the unedited version: Individuals who elevate food are naturally selfless people; these are the folks who slave away in the kitchen, working meticulously to coax out flavors from their products in every possible way—all for the...

Oh shit. I don’t know if I’m more excited about the dumplings or the funky soundtrack. Either way, I’m hungry. Joe Ng, “Soup Dumplings”

NYTimes.com: Anthony Bourdain's Favorite Places to...
Q. Favorite city for eating in the United States? A. Anyone who doesn’t have a great time in San Francisco is pretty much dead to me. You go there as a snarky New Yorker thinking it’s politically correct, it’s crunchy granola, it’s vegetarian, and it surprises you every time. It’s a two-fisted drinking town, a carnivorous meat-eating town, it’s dirty and nasty and wonderful. There are a bunch...
