OMG…completely hysterical. What in the world is going on with chefs with their hands/arms in fish?!?!?!?
Are Chefs With Dead Fish the New Chefs With Dead Pigs?
On the cover of this month’s issue of UK-based Observer Food Monthly, Brazilian chef Alex Atala (of D.O.M. in Sao Paulo, ranked #6 in the world) can be seen with his hands inside a fish. In the cover story, writer Allan Jenkins spends six days with Atala on the Amazon river, where they eat indigenous foods and discuss the state of Brazilian cuisine. The story also includes a photo of Atala with a dead fish draped over his shoulders. It seems like Atala and Observer Food Monthly aren’t the only ones who think chefs with dead fish make for strong cover art.
The cover of NYC chef Paul Liebrandt’s upcoming book To the Bone shows the chef with an arm inside a fish. Clarkson Potter editor-at-large Francis Lam notes over Twitter that arms in fish is “the look of the season.” In the grand history of chefs posing with food, this new fish pose — Eater is calling this the “Fish Glove“ — seems inspired by previous trends of chefs wearing food. Past iterations include the “I’m Wearing Food” pose and the “Hold-A-Pig” pose. Which chefs will be photographed with their hands inside fishes next? Only time will tell whether the Fish Glove is the new Hold-A-Pig.
OMG - coffee is going to kill me!!! :)
Maybe Coffee Will Kill Us After All
A new study offers further proof that coffee research is schizophrenic.
Your memory will get better. It will kill you. You won’t commit suicide. It will kill you. You might not get Alzheimer’s. It will kill you. You might not get a stroke. It will kill you.
Tracking scientific research on coffee consumption is to subject oneself to peaks and dips more dramatic than any caffeine rush and crash. Apparently, the medical profession can’t decide if coffee is going to save or ruin us all.
The latest research is decidedly in the later camp: Drinking more than four cups a day puts you at 56 percent greater risk of death “from all causes,” is how The Guardian sums up the new study published by the journal Mayo Clinic Proceedings.
I just think this is pretty and makes me want to drink it!

Dwell Magazine: The Joy of Cooking
I saw this in the latest edition of Dwell magazine and thought you might find it interesting. Some fascinating little gadgets. I especially like the completely unnecessary (but fun) letter D - Le Whaf by The Lab Store Paris. Pulsating crystals in the bottom of the carafe turn any liquid into clouds you can inhale. Now that’s FUN!
Flynn McGarry @ the White House
Wunderkind chef, 14-year old Flynn McGarry, was at the White House on Sunday for a cooking demonstration in connection with Easter. This kid is amazing and how fun that he got to do this. If you remember, we had Flynn’s Winter Menu back in January - 12 courses and 3 hours later, we emerged stuffed!
