Most Jewish Delis Named in One Minute on Blip TV (found via Serious Eats) Centre Street Deli, Yitz’s and Caplansky’s are in there representing Toronto and I heard some Montreal delis in there. Sax is from Toronto so he’d have to represent.
Topless Coffee Shop In Maine Burns Down [Serious Eats] I don’t know where to start with the jokes.
In health:
Increased intakes of vitamins C and E and beta-carotene may reduce the risk of uterine cancer [Decision News Media]
Not that we’re surprised, but new research reveals that diets low in fat and red meat and rich in fruits and vegetables helps prevent and treat prostate cancer. [Disease Proof]
Low Vitamin D Makes it Hard to Think! [Disease Proof] My doctor once told me that north Americans tend to be deficient in Vitamin D because we’re afraid of the sun and slather on the sunblock. Good for protecting cancer, yes, but we need vitamin D. So, get out there and get some sunshine! (P.S. Chose your sunscreen wisely because some are toxic.)
Absorption of calcium from ice cream is no different than from low-fat milk. [All Decision News Media] While I like to THINK that ice cream is good for me, I harbor no illusions. When my doctor told me to increase my calcium intake a couple of years ago I kept joking that it was a prescription to eat ice cream.
Spirulina extract may reverse pain sensitivity [Decision News Media] I take spirulina almost daily, as part of my green smoothie. It’s also an ingredient in Josh’s Incredible Hulk Quinoa Bread. I don’t know Josh.
Eating a curry once or twice a week could help prevent the onset of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia [BBC]
In food pr0n:
This lemon mint granita recipe from Smitten Kitchen looks awesome and as I was reading I was silently crying about the small size of the freezer in my new, bigger apartment. [Smitten Kitchen]
My face lit up as soon as I saw this: Photo of the Day: Orange & Grapefruit Slices [Serious Eats]
Local:
Management of local restaurant The Black Hoof is opening a second location across the street and calling it “Hoof Café”. Toronto Life calls The Black Hoof a “temple of charcuterie.
Following up on yesterday’s post about the new Hellmann’s Eat Real, Eat Local campaign… Grist.org tells Hellmann’s to GET real. Read it.
Great read: Food critic Gael Greene writes a wonderful response to a 10 year old wannabe food critic who is a food prodigy. I read every word, and I rarely do that. The sign off made me groan. [Huffington Post] (Tempted to post this under “funny”.)
Anthony Bourdain’s 13 Places to Eat Before You Die. Not surprising that elBulli (Spain), Per Se (New York) are on the list. I think I’ve heard of Le Bernardin (New York). I like that he includes a sandwich shop in Seattle. It’s a little more accessible to those of us who will never make it to elBulli (although I think that one is more likely to vacation in Spain than Seattle, which just isn’t as exotic). Bourdain describes it at “a sandwich shop with a couple of tables and a true mom-and-pop — even if they’re the mom and pop of Mario Batali.”
Katz’s Deli in New York made the cut (no pun intended). What would you add to the list? [Slashfood]
Tobacco candy? The headline made me exclaim out loud, “That is SO wrong!” [Treehugger] Tobacco candy is just what it sounds like – fine-ground tobacco mixed with sweeteners and flavorings.
. I am so looking forward to reading this book and expect it to be along the lines of Twinkie Deconstructed.![Reblog this post [with Zemanta]](http://img.zemanta.com/reblog_a.png?x-id=8a30ee1b-2088-4474-a512-ddb8ab319982)
