Podcast Episode 14: Celebrating One Year in the Stu-Stu-Studio

Looks like we made it! The feed me kc crew has been unreliably churning out podcasts for an entire year, and they haven’t kicked us off the Internet yet. To celebrate, we recorded 50 minutes of pure ridiculousness that will surely make somebody pull the plug on this shit show. Before they do, listen to [...]

Super Jambalaya Andouille Dog, No Bowl Required

With Super Bowl week upon us it’s time to start thinking about how to make people full on Super Bowl Sunday. While I have little stake in the winner of the actual game, I do plan on devoting my day to the patriotic act of eating and drinking myself into a coma. I believe I [...]

Thomas Keller’s Blowtorch Prime Rib

Through Thomas Keller, all culinary things are possible. With TK’s help (and a blowtorch), I prepared this perfectly pink prime rib roast for Christmas supper. If you follow the recipe, it’s hard to screw up. If you don’t have a blowtorch, go buy a blowtorch. Sure, you could just broil for color, but then you [...]

The restaurant with a death wish, or how Emily got banned from Peanches

I’m not one to broadcast culinary misunderstandings, especially when it comes to someone’s livelihood. But in this case, I just can’t refrain — mostly because it seems like the other character in this story is actively trying to NOT make money. Last night, my friend and I decided to try Peanches, the new-ish 39th Street [...]

Feed Me France: Zut Alors!

As you’ve undoubtedly discerned, I’m not a very good food blogger. This isn’t feigned self-deprecation in the hope of corrective praise. The evidence is abundant: I don’t post very often, take months to try new restaurants (if I try them at all), and eschew deep culinary insight for flippant sarcasm. But what makes me an [...]

Put It In My Mouth!: Flaccid Sausages and Ruptured Tubers

For some people this may be an emotionally challenging photograph, especially for supporters of Todd “in absolutely now way related to Jeff” Akin. For that I apologize (especially about the sweet potato). Food phalli aside, this was intended to be a simple sample of fall flavors. Roast a few sweet potatoes and beer brats. Saute sliced [...]

Rumormongering: Corner Restaurant to reopen, with booze!

Fresh off this morning’s rumor mill: the Corner Restaurant  — that disgustingly delicious, beloved breakfast joint of all-nighters past —is going to reopen soon. With booze! I am all for this development, as long as whoever takes over the space at Broadway and Westport Road can get the smell of greasy zombie out of all [...]

Summer Vegetable Gratin, A Month Too Late

Good news: This recipe is a simple way to celebrate summer vegetables. Bad news: Summer is over and tomatoes (at least the ones that don’t taste like a big, mealy pile of nothingnesss) are gone. If I had posted this on August 8, before Emily and I fell off the face of Planet Blog’n’stuff, you [...]

Put It In My Mouth!: Jeff’s Famous Thomas Keller’s Fried Chicken

I make the best fried chicken in the world. Or more accurately, Thomas Keller makes the best fried chicken in the world, and I follow his recipe. I know what some of you are saying, “Nuthin’s better than gran’ma’s fried chik’n.” But I hate to break it to you, it’s just not true, no matter [...]
