Girls. HBD Kim!

“He’s now planning to blend the audible and the edible at Alinea. The crescendo of the dessert course comes when servers roll out a silicone tablecloth and begin smearing the surface with a variety of sauces and garnishes and treats. All of a customer’s senses go into overdrive: There is the visual spectacle, the fragrance, the flavor, and even the feel.” Sounds like a drug. The power...

Anthony Bourdain: A BEGINNING. AN END →

Coachella 2011: The Complete Food List
They definitely took it up a notch this year… FARMER’S MARKET!? Raaaaaad. We all know how delicious fresh fruit is when in a hot desert!

Resilience
