If you love beer — I mean love, not that “let’s be friends” stuff — here are a set of posts from the Know Your Brewer blog that you need to read on Kevin McGee and his Healdsburg Brewing Co. — a “nano brewery” in Sonoma County, CA.
Along with Elizabeth St. Brewery and (newly discovered to myself) Clara St. Brewing (both here in the San Francisco Bay Area), it’s a veritable revolution of “nano” proprotions.
The stories one hears of how the various incarnations of this new batch of “nano” brewers came to be is evocative of the stories that have floated about on the early years of the latest batch of coffee roasters such as Blue Bottle – started by James Freeman – and Stumptown – hatched by Duane Sorenson. Freeman wanted better tasting coffee so he started roasting his own. Sorenson started out by hand delivering individual bags of coffee to each of his customers.
The rest is history.
A little late to the party – this first of many posts is from all the way back in 2007…ancient! – but no matter: this is classic stuff. Serious Eats (the food blogging empire) has a collection of posts all about how the many and varied, down-home style, high-calorie recipes from the infamously warm and comforting Paula Deen are, in actuality, all part of a plot to end our lives. Warmly, of course. Maybe that soft-focus glow should have tipped us off to her angel-of-death status from the start.
Fried goat cheese. Need I say more? (from Serious Eats)
Even with just Tobasco on hand, how is it that Huevos Rancheros is quite nearly the perfect food?
Are you ready for dessert? How ’bout an article to go along with the preceding video? – “Frugal Portland”.
In a video, in the New York Time’s “Frugal Traveler” section, Matt Gross covers the Portland food cart scene.

The truck ...

... the sandwhich
Damn you, L.A. You’re getting so many cool mobile food options. Cool Haus: “architecturally inspired” ice cream sandwhiches. Whatever you say. Looks delicious.
What do you do with all of that left over pie dough? Make yourself some yummy, savory treats. In this case, an onion, potato, cheese and egg galette.
