Catch A Fish, Butcher It, And Make Some Crudo
It’s easy to fall into a summertime pattern of eating tacos and kabobs and barbecue on a three-day rotation, because those are delicious things to eat and they are best eaten in summer. Broadly speaking, this is doing summer right. Enjoy your tacos! Enjoy your kabobs! Enjoy your barbecue, so long as...
Which Kid Foods Still Hold Up For Adults?
What makes kids food kid foods? Is it a malleable set-up that encourages children to play with their crackers and pasta? Or, perhaps, it’s brightly-colored packaging with the contents within written out into burst shapes. Certainly, the market has trended toward healthier options as of late, but the...
A New Episode Of "Food on Franklin," A Cult Favorite Of The Podcast Set

How To Plan Your Lunches And Enjoy Italian Comfort Food All Week
The tomato sauce that we’re making to go along with turkey meatballs in a couple of meal-planned lunches this week is easy. It is not, however, quick. The recipe actually sounds a little absurd at first: Five pounds of tomatoes, each one chopped, scooped, and grated before you’re even ready to start...
Pokémon I Want To Eat, Ranked
Pokémon canon appears to ignore the very real issue of carnivory. Is there Pokémon husbandry? Which Pokémon are raised, or hunted, or caught and trapped as food? Can vegetarians eat Bulbasaur? Nintendo has dodged this issue too long. These are the Pokémon I think would be tastiest....
Can Boris Diaw Stay Fed And Motivated In Utah?
To make room for Pau Gasol, the Spurs have reportedly traded Boris Diaw to Utah. This is a good, sensible basketball move for the Spurs, and a foreboding development for the future of Diaw. The 34-year-old Frenchman could certainly contribute solid minutes to the Jazz, but the likelihood of that hap...
How To Plan Your Lunches And Learn To Love Savory Rhubarb<em></em>
Before this week, I had never eaten rhubarb. This is because I am of the firm belief that any dessert without chocolate is not worth my time and—even though rhubarb is a vegetable and pie is almost universally not worth the effort—people insist on serving rhubarb in pie form. Maybe it’s got somethin...
How To Eat Healthy, Even When A Cheeseburger Is <i>Right There</i>
One day you’ll decide to start giving a shit about your body, but that does not mean the world-at-large will help you along the way. That’s something I had to learn on my own—the friends and websites I consulted before changing my eating habits never mentioned how lonely it can be to try to lose wei...
How To Make Ceviche And Do Summer Right
Summer—it’s here! It’s really, really here! Officially! The calendar says so!...
You Vs. The Vending Machine
It’s late afternoon, the workday is over halfway done, and you feel a familiar rumble. The salad you’d had for lunch wasn’t very satisfying, was it? So you gather your wallet or spare desk change, go down the hall, and amble right up to that backlit hurdle that separates the fit from the fit-ish: th...
How To Plan Your Lunches And Eat Like A Human Being All Week
Meal planning has always seemed to me to represent an aspirational level of Having Your Shit Togetherness. I assume that if I can streamline the whole eating process such that I can do grocery shopping and lunch packing from muscle memory, I’ll be left with more mental energy and money to dedicate t...
Kid Eating Ice Cream At Pirates Game Is Living The Life
One small Pirates fan at Monday’s game was sitting in a stroller and attacking his ice cream with vigor. His use of a spoon isn’t the most efficient, but his enthusiasm is admirable....
Make These Damn Good Muffins For Father's Day, Or Any Time
My family has made the same blueberry muffins for Father’s Day since before I was old enough to be responsible for anything more than writing my name in crayon at the bottom of a joint kid card. It’s one of just two family traditions we abide by....
How To Order Delivery Without Feeling Like Shit, You Lazy Bum
Sometimes, after a long, soul-crushing day at work (or when you’re staring down an impossible hangover), the last thing you want to do is cook. You’d much rather fire up Seamless and order from your favorite local restaurant, where someone else will prepare the greasy food you think will make you fe...
Are The Cronut Guy's $100 Desserts Any Better Than A Regular Slice Of Cake?
What you’re looking at in this video, because it’s probably not entirely clear, is the new lineup for cronut dude Dominique Ansel’s dessert-only tasting menu. For about a year now, the annoyingly viral-savvy chef has hosted an “intimate” “after-hours” “tasting experience” called U.P. (“Unlimited Pos...
Grill A Pizza This Weekend
Memorial Day is for cooking with fire. Grilling provides a perfect low-stakes reason to be outside in the warm weather that requires no commitment beyond trusting that you’ll feel hungry in a little bit. It’s a simple celebration of having the time to make dinner an event, the ambient temperature to...
Is This Healthy Bread Fad Worth The Effort?
Using house-milled wheat flour that costs $1.40 per pound (as opposed to the 20 cents/lb for normal “white” flour), and has shelf life of just about a week, may seem like an unnecessary complication for something as basic and beloved as bread. But several bakeries and restaurants around the country ...
Hum While You Eat; Gorillas Do
Maybe you hum a little tune while assembling a sandwich, and maybe even contentedly between good bites. You wouldn’t be the only one on the evolutionary family tree to do so—so do our cousins, the great apes. Specifically, a set of western lowland gorillas in the Republic of Congo. A recently releas...
Pizza Box Is Neither Pizza Nor Box
Almost every day, we see people peddling novelty foodstuffs with dreams of virality. To offer some pushback against this desperate search for e-relevance, we often need to ask some hard questions. Today’s culprit is the Pizza Box—a box for pizza that is, itself, a pizza....
Some Questions We Have About "Clothing-Optional" Pop-Up Restaurants
The Bunyadi, a “clothing-optional” pop-up restaurant coming to London this June, is not just a titillating concept a la Sex And The City’s Club BED or S&M-themed bar....
