Cooking
7-11, 24×7
This is completely obvious and it is embarrassing to admit that I didn’t know this before, but if you are looking for that perfect cross-hatch on your grilled proteins, start at 7 o’clock and finish at 11. I don’t know why I was always trying to do more complicated math than that, but lets just [...]

Forged in the Fires of Hell: Araxi’s new Head Chef
It has been announced that the grand prize in the sixth season of Hell’s Kitchen, the Ramsay- screaming vehicle, is a head chef position at Whistler’s well-regarded Araxi Restaurant. “It is an amazing prize,” said Ramsay. “One of the best prizes we’ve ever had.”
I must admit, I am a Ramsay fan. And I loved the [...] -

Top Chef Masters
It was with great trepidation (and a few jokes about green chef jackets) that I popped in Top Chef Masters episode 1. Spin-offs are tricky things. What would Top Chef be without Tom? Without Padma?
Well, let me put you at ease. The Top Chef format carries well into the new show, each episode featuring a [...] -

Berlin’s Hidden Restaurants
One of the most popular posts on foodandtell.com is the post on Vancouver’s hidden restaurant, 12B. Since then I have seen this phenomenon covered on CNN, and most recently on the New York Times, which details the hidden restaurant trend in Berlin, and Berlin’s “Shy Chef.” There is something romantic and exciting about a restaurant [...]

Ricky Gervais uses the “F-Word”
Ricky Gervais and his girlfriend Jane dine at Ramsay’s “F-Word” restaurant, making for a few minutes of hilarity, reducing Ramsay to pure laughter. Youtube wont let me embed this one, so you will have to check it out HERE (running time 4:24 mins) – but be warned, Ricky and Gordon together make for pure obscenity. [...]

Restaurant Review
Al Portly
Recently I made the mistake of suggesting the new restaurant campagnolo to some out of town guests I was meeting. I am dying to try this stylish new haunt from the owners of Fuel, so enthusiastic that I forgot that it is located on a somewhat challenging block of Main Street. I know its trendy [...]

Food on the Web, Word on the street
late night dining with lunarama
If you are up late partying, studying, or are simply nocturnal, it can be a pain to find an open restaurant. Lunarama aims to solve this problem with a list of late-night venues by city. Cool idea, not-so-great implementation. The site is stylish but simple, the listings very partial, and when I emailed a correction [...]

Food And Tell, Product Review
Hold the Baconnaise
A true bacon lover might say, ‘everything should have bacon on it.’ Or they might say, ‘everything should be served with bacon.’ But not, I think, ‘everything should taste like bacon.’ This unfortunate statement is the tagline of the next bacon product I am compelled to review: Baconnaise. ($14.95 for 3 jars) The only thing [...]

Product Review
Cholives?
It is a marketing feat to take a well known product (such as chococlate) and give it a silly name suggesting that it is now something else (such as as an olive). Such is the case with the Cholive. In this case, I think that the cutesy name works, (while their other product, the Chruffle, [...]

Burger (and Padma) Worship
06.09.09 | Permalink | 2 Comments | By JonathanPadma, goddess of the food network, author of cook books and ex-wife of Salman Rushdie, brings a whole new energy to the hamburger in this extremely provocative spot, or as Gawker called it, in this “Sordid Bacon Cheeseburger Sex Tape.” It’s not for the faint at heart and I may never look at a burger, [...]
