Itadakimasu: A Word You Say to the Food, Not the Cook

https://thetokyohermit.substack.com/p/itadakimasu-a-word-you-say-to-the
So the literal shape of “itadakimasu” is not “thank you.” It is closer to: “I humbly receive.” And the thing being received is the food. Not the labor of the cook — that has its own phrase, said afterward, to the person. “Itadakimasu,” said before, with the eyes on the plate, is addressed downward and outward, to what is about to become part of you.

Kachka’s New Distillery and Dumpling Factory Is in Production Mode - Portland Mercury

https://www.portlandmercury.com/food-and-drink/2025/09/16/48027509/kachkas-new-distillery-and-dumpling-factory-is-in-production-mode
Fabrika opened in July in the Bindery Annex building with seasonal cocktails and a seafood-forward menu. Kachka beverage director and head distiller Jamie Bones created a list of six original martinis for the bar, from a non-alcoholic martini to a nod to Scandinavian culture with dill aquavit and their version of an espresso martini (birch vodka, Kahlua, instant coffee, coffee condensed milk, with a chicory molasses swirl). As one would expect from a vodka-centric bar, the martinis are all ICE. COLD.

A few years ago, a number of chefs got a hold of Peelzym, an enzyme that can dissolve the white part of citrus (the albedo) while leaving the fruit segments and the colored part of the peel (flavedo) intact.  It can be used to automatically peel and suprem

The Ultimate Fully-Loaded Bloody Mary | Serious Eats : Recipes

http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2011/06/the-ultimate-fully-loaded-bloody-mary-recipe.html
Note: The most important part of a Bloody Mary is the tomato juice. Use a high quality juice, preferably not from concentrate. No need to use your best vodka here. Bottom shelf stuff will do fine. You can replace the celery salt rim with a salt and pepper rim if you prefer. Every ingredient should be adjusted to suit your own personal taste. I love horseradish. You might not.

Deep Inside Taco Bell's Doritos Locos Taco | Fast Company | Business + Innovation

http://www.fastcompany.com/3008346/deep-inside-taco-bells-doritos-locos-taco
To Creed, the partnership between Taco Bell and Frito-Lay is more than a one-off collaboration. Like Android is to Google or iOS is to Apple, Doritos-based flavors represent a whole new framework for Taco Bell to build on. "It's not just a product; it's now a platform--Nacho Cheese, Cool Ranch, Flamas," Creed beams. "We're going to blow everyone away in the next few years in terms of how big this idea and platform will become."

Matt Kantor prepares a nine-course meal inspired by Rush | Appetizer | Life | National Post

http://life.nationalpost.com/2012/07/21/plates-of-prog-rock-an-epic-nine-course-meal-inspired-by-rush/
Kantor’s ambitious dinner was a testament to his Rush fandom (the New York state native fell in love with the band as a junior-high-school student in the early ’80s and never looked back), and also his latest foray in a culinary crusade. He hopes to help bring what he calls “thinky” food — reminiscent, let’s say, of a well-wrought Neil Peart lyric — to a city whose gastronomic endeavours, he finds, veer closer to the Top 40.

"When the consumer is paying for a slice of pizza and given the choice between a bigger slice and a smaller one, it is human nature to want the bigger piece. If you’re an owner of a pizza business, convenience store, the head nutritionist of your school cafeteria, or any other business selling pizza by the slice, you realize that cutting your pizzas into equal slices is very important, by not a simple task."

When Used Books Attack: Banana Edition | BOOK RIOT

http://bookriot.com/2011/11/30/when-used-books-attack-banana-edition#.TtZXeqFvb50.twitter
This monstrosity is called a Banana Candle, which consists of a banana stuck in a pineapple slice, with mayonnaise and a maraschino cherry on top. And it is a crime against nature. If someone brought this into my home, I would slap them, and then burn my house down and salt the ground where it stood. This photo is the reason flocks of birds inexplicably die and fall to the ground. Goats and gangrene, who approved this picture??? Imagine my horror – I actually touched this book.

The Shareable Food Movement Meets The Law - Collaborative Consumption Blog Posts

http://www.collaborativeconsumption.com/insider-blog/archives/the_shareable_food_movement_meets_the_law.php
The Health Department didn’t show up when I made dinner for my neighbors last night. Fortunately, our health and safety laws don’t usually dictate how we prepare food in our personal and private realms. But humans have a natural tendency, an urge to feed each other, and the shareable food movement is taking that to new levels - levels that bring up some legal curiosities.

Ultra filtering is a high-tech procedure where honey is heated, sometimes watered down and then forced at high pressure through extremely small filters to remove pollen, which is the only foolproof sign identifying the source of the honey. It is a spin-off of a technique refined by the Chinese, who have illegally dumped tons of their honey - some containing illegal antibiotics - on the U.S. market for years.

Craftzine.com blog : Recipe: Satay-Spiced Peanut Butter Sandwich

http://blog.craftzine.com/archive/2010/05/recipe_satay-spiced_peanut_but.html
"I'm a big fan of grilled peanut butter sandwiches and it has nothing to do with Elvis Presley (no bananas for me). I'm also a big fan of Thai food, especially the gingery, peanut-buttery goodness that is called satay. One night, while foraging around the fridge for some dinner fixins, I thought I would make a grilled peanut butter sandwich when I spied some bean sprouts and cilantro, and an idea was formed. Trust me, this is good stuff. Makes 2 sandwiches."

"If you’ve never had XLB before, its one of those foods that you absolutely must try in your lifetime. Inside the dumpling are little pockets of gelatinized broth made from chicken, pork and cured ham. When you steam the dumpling, the broth gelatin melts. If you would like to be seduced, read on. If you aren’t in a spot where you can comfortably moan out loud (like at work, or at school, or if your kids are running around), I suggest that you close this site, come back another time with a glass of wine - you really can’t skip the foreplay.
