The Connection Between Wes Anderson, Mario Batali & ‘Top Chef’ Revealed

(Hint: It’s the Crocs)

And speaking of these things, Top Chef finally returns tonight!  Until then, play the Match the Tattoo game! (guess they didn’t have enough Croc-wearers for a Match the Crocs game.  Shame)

And if you still need more Wes Anderson you can check out a recent profile done on him by New Yorker (subscription required), and if you’re feeling a little less elitist, then click over and read Videogum’s effusive praise for Fantastic Mr. Fox.  Agreed!

More later y’alls!

Carefully With Those Chili Peppers, Guy Fieri, Don’t Want To Get Too Extreme!

Food + Rock + 25 Gallon Margarita Machine + DJ = Guy Fieri Road Show!

Finally (!) more details have emerged about the Guy Fieri Road Show, where Food Meets Rock (again, finally!!!).  In a Q&A with the LA Times Mr. Fieri answers all our burning questions about this unique concert/cooking experience.  In talking about the origins of the show, Fieri thought “What if we take a cooking demonstration and fortify it with a lot of good music?. . . . Drive it to the next level?”  And here, this whole time, I thought the idea is to fortify cooking with unique flavor profiles, or at least some essential vitamins and minerals.  The good news?  Fieri says that the show will be “everything they won’t let me do on TV,” which we presume means that he’ll now be allowed to wear his sunglasses properly and put on a pair of pants.

Gets even better!  Want the chance to try a margarita made in a 6 ft, 25 gal mixer?  How about the opportunity to sample The “Bomb” Calamari or “Maui Onion Straws?”  Want to sit closer to the DJ who will be playing “everything from old school rock ‘n’ roll to theme-oriented stuff?”  Well, for $250 you can sit on the stage and have your dream come true!

Killer.

Stop Following Me, Fieri!

I can’t even escape him at the coffee shop.  I walk out of the bathroom and there he is, taunting me from the bulletin board.

Fieri Road ShowFine, Fieri.  I’ll go.  Now will you stop???

Notice how the poster explicitly states the show is a fusion of Food and Rock.  Finally!

(Oh, and speaking of the coffee shop, I’m afraid I’m going to start hanging out all day making Cinammon Milk. Totally not extreme.)

How Did Facebook Know I Love Chipotle BBQ Pork Soft Tacos?!

Courtesy of Facebook’s sponsored links section:

Road Show“Food, fun, and Fieri.”  Isn’t that a little redundant, Facebook?

I wonder if he’ll teach the crowd how to make the Screaming Gobbler, the turkey sandwich-sushi hybrid available at Fieri’s Rock-n-Roll Sushi BBQ restaurant Tex Wasabi’s.  According to the menu, “First you’ll gobble, then you’ll scream!”

Ah, no thanks.
