I’ve been working a lot lately. Pretty much around the clock. Don’t feel bad, aside from my restaurant job I’m in the middle of reviewing games for our partner site Cinema Blend. So at 1 am I’m sitting on the couch having a blast with Little Big Planet. Simultaneously I am hungry, and as any avid gamer knows you must have proper grub to stay up late playing games. I have my own favorites, consisting of convenient one-handed snack treats. KFC has teamed up with Activision to produce a Guitar Hero: World Tour box o’ food. more…
Now that the economy is looking anemic folks are staying at home to eat. Normally I’d rejoice that people are now going to be eating more fresh food at the dinner table, but that is not the case. Kraft and Kellogg have announced that despite price hikes recently their sales have gone up. Well, duh. You raise the price, even if the economy is going down the toilet, you should see some sort of gain. 
I’m a guy and even I can admit to enjoying Nora Ephron’s films. Perhaps they are chick flicks, but they are very well done. When Harry Met Sally and My Blue Heaven, both written by Ephron, are classic comedies in my mind. The kind that whenever they’re on I’ll stop to watch. So finding out that Ephron was doing a movie about Julia Childs was exciting. But it appears the movie will be delayed a little bit due to star Meryl Streep. 
It’s impossible to be able to cook with your favorite chefs. Unless you happen to be lucky enough to be friends with them that is. Eric Ripert, one of my personal favorites, has come up with a way to do the next best thing. He’ll design a dinner party menu, share it with you, and in turn you share the experience with him. For me it has to be one of the best uses of the internet to promote the idea of great food.
