Remember Cliff Crooks from 'Top Chef'?new
It is impossible that anyone could be this hard to get ahold of. I don’t care how busy or famous you are. I have left at least seven voicemails and as many emails in as many hours. Finally, I get a text message from Chef Cliff Crooks: “No verbal communication at this juncture. How can I assist you?”
Is this guy for real?

Meat the 21st Century: A Delinquent Vegetarian's Victory Talenew
After almost 11 years of a repulsion-based vegetarianism, one day I just ceased to be repulsed. I'm alarmingly comfortable with relinquishing something that's been part of my very identity for so long. It is a little sad for me, admittedly, but the epicurean future is too tantalizing for it to get me down. Thank you, bacon.

Comparing Tap Water to Bottled Waternew
At a recent meeting of the Mount Washington Green Club, members held a blind water tasting to figure out once and for all: Do tap and bottled waters taste differently? The point was to illustrate that buying bottled water is not only costly and environmentally unsound but also pointless, since there's not much difference in flavor.

Holistic Vineyards: Biodynamic Wine is Greenernew
Critics call it "vineyard voodoo"; others refer to it as "supercharged organic." In fact, biodynamic agriculture dates back to 1924, when Austrian philosopher-scientist Rudolf Steiner gave a series of lectures in which he argued that modern farming had lost its spiritual connection to nature.

Time for the Memphis In May World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contestnew
Since its humble start in 1978, the contest has evolved into three days of pork-scented smoke, plastic pig noses, elaborate team structures, 500 trained judges, concerts, and, of course, some seriously competitive teams that have spent years, not to mention thousands of dollars, refining their recipes and methods.

Meet Richard Price: Electrotechnologist, Purveyor of Rare Flowers, Famous For His Heirloom Tomatoesnew
Price could be known for many things. Among other things, he's a talented singer; an accomplished portrait photographer; a home brewer of beers, ciders, and wines; an experienced electrotechnologist in genetics; a green thumb; a do-it-yourselfer and traditionalist. In fact, it's mostly by a strange turn of plant evolution that he's come to be known, informally, as "the tomato man."

Winemakers Deal with the Rising Cost of Barrelsnew
To get the kind of taste that sells, you need oak. But brand new French oak barrels, the ne plus ultra of wine containers, are very expensive, and with the dollar falling steadily against the Euro, they've only gotten more so.
