May 31, 2013 2:31 pm

Welcome to our first-ever Recipe Reactive! Since Food Network recipes are low-hanging fruit, I'm diving into the wide world of regional broadcast news. Here all the way from beautiful and stimulating Fresno, CA is Mr. Food's Garbage Bread. Let's dissect, shall we?

Cursing has never tasted this good

Apr 17, 2013 1:01 pm

Anyone who thinks profanity can't be used purely emphatically can take a fucking hike. By far the most entertaining and straight-to-the-point blog we've encountered this year is Thug Kitchen, which was just recognized by Saveur magazine's Best Food Blog Awards. Take a look.

Apr 17, 2013 10:02 am

“They are the counterfeit Chanel bag of fruit,” reads a line in a story about Luxardo Maraschino cherries near the front of the debut issue of Cherry Bombe, a downtown food magazine disguised as an uptown women’s fashion magazine that launched earlier this week. It's a keeper.

Restaurant Wars are heading to Southeast Asia

Mar 29, 2013 2:01 pm

The next most exciting incarnation of Top Chef may not be in Portland or at the Jersey Shore after all. NBC Universal announced yesterday that they've sealed deals to expand the Top Chef franchise to Spain and Indonesia (NBC's first deal in Southeast Asia). Sounds like the cast just got potentially better-looking and the ingredients way more exciting.

Highlights from a feline tasting menu of sorts

Feb 6, 2013 1:31 pm

Someone watched District 9 recently! Other than that, we're half-flummoxed and half-in-total-awe of the chick who penned this Vice guide to eating both wet AND dry cat food, complete with beverage pairings.

Bob's Burger Of The Day Tumblr Makes Us Want To Spend $5.95

One admirable soul rounded up all of Bob's Burgers

Jan 23, 2013 12:02 pm

I get really into the Bob's Burgers specials. I even tried to make up my own once: The Good, The Bad and the Chutney. But the nice folks in the writer's room (who penned this awesome list for Food Republic) put me to shame. It looks like I'm not the only one collecting puns — one fan snapped up this delightful low-hanging fruit and tossed it up on Tumblr as any self-respecting animated comedy fan would do.

The project is now live on Kickstarter, which is nearly to their $9,000 goal with 28 days to go.
