October 30, 2013 / Portable Chef / News / No Comments

17,649. There’s a lot to love about “Back to the Future,” but one of my favorite parts is that they were so ahead of the curve, there was apparently nobody around to consult as to how to pronounce the prefix “giga-” before shooting, and this “one point twenty-one jigga-watts” was…

Your Bacon is in My Popcorn

October 4, 2013 / Portable Chef / News / 1 Comment

I’m going to see “Gravity” tonight. I’m no Hollywood historian, but this must have been the easiest movie pitch ever. I can get that film greenlighted in three words, Jim: “Clooney in space.” And… we’re done. To spice up the moviegoing experience and to incorporate a little excellent food thrift,…

The Swine Chronicles, pt. 1: Urban Pig Hunt

October 2, 2013 / Portable Chef / News / No Comments

I frantically directed my taxi past buildings with addresses like “54-48 47th Drive” and businesses like Maspeth Pallets, a place in non-subwayable Queens where, as the name suggests, you can buy wooden pallets. There are industrial warehouse-y areas in New York City that are destined to become thriving  (like Bushwick,…

Why Won’t My Milk Foam Up, Dammit?

August 29, 2013 / Portable Chef / News / 110 Comments

I have an awesome milk provider.  Every weekend an Amish couple brings me raw milk, which would be illegal if it weren’t, um, for my pet; this stuff is a game-changer.  For the first time since 1985, I now sit down and have a glass of milk from time to…

  #1,047. Check out the brand-new entry in the Oxford Dictionary Online: • twerk, v.: dance to popular music in a sexually provocative manner involving thrusting hip movements and a low, squatting stance.
