Top 10 2012
I’m keeping this one under 5000 words, I promise. Food continues to be a primary focus- this year most of my practices, professional and artistic, have folded into this singular pursuit. Between my professional gig at Ox-Bow, running E-Dogz and the Piranha Club, launching other projects in art contexts, writing about food, and teaching a […]

Zine Sale
Just in time for the holidays I have printed new editions of each of my three zines. They cost $10 each or $20 for all three! A Fungal Companion 2009 Delve into the mysterious world of the fungi- from yeast to mushrooms. Full of practical advice on how to bake bread, brew beer and mead, forage […]
Hors d’oeuvres & Cocktails in the Garden at Iceberg Projects: 5/20
Locality has become one of those culinary buzzwords. A shift towards an appreciation and stewardship towards the local production of food can not be a bad thing, supporting local economies and connecting us closer to the sources of our food. Yet this preoccupation can become fetishistic, evidenced in a popular skit on the sketch comedy […]
Top 10 2011
I feel like I have definitely put in my lion’s share of food writing this year, as evidenced in the pages of this blog. Add several dozen posts on LTHForum.com (my handle is Jefe: my other top ten food list can be found here) as well as my column on foraging for Thelocalbeet.com. Oh and […]

A Real Mutha For You
The Mother-in-Law is a South Side tradition offered at select hot dog stands. At its most basic it consists of a corn roll tamale smothered in a meat-based chilli sauce. This is the version that I grew up with, though at my local beef place, Pop’s, it was called a “tamale boat”. I learned of […]
2010: Top 10 Food
Another great food year, obsessive as always- the day’s (and sometimes the week’s) food plans are first and last things on my mind every day. I guess I broke the past two years’ trend of thriftiness- things went a bit more indulgent this year- what with a $26 dollar burger in the following list. That […]

“There’s Food in Them There Hills”
I am contributing a new semi- regular column about foraging to Chicago based local food website The Local Beet. Check out my first article about edible mushrooms that I have been collecting at Ox-Bow: http://www.thelocalbeet.com/2010/07/29/fungal-abundance-introducing-theres-food-in-them-there-hills/
The Pigeon That I Love Dearly
I found a baby bird on my doorstep. It had been intentionally placed there by someone- it was on a piece of cardboard with a brick set up to protect it from the wind. They were excavating piles of trash from the thoroughfare between my building and the one next door, so it seemed as […]
2009: Top 10 Food
If last year’s top 10 was assembled to gear up for the economic downturn, this year’s reflects the depths of the crunch on the old bank book. I must say that the challenge of resourcefulness can be quite rewarding- eating well for not much money is an affirmation of simple joys. A nearby selection of […]
