Jamie Says Fail, I Say Win!

by paulkamon 01.17.2012

Last night, while scouring the Internets for an idea on what to do with a butchered chicken carcass after removing all the good meaty bits other than making stock, I stumbled upon this little bit of McDonald’s inspired awesomeness.

Selling Out – Part 1

by Jacob Galbraith 08.15.2011

I’m a large doses kind of guy, which isn’t always good. I’m lucking that hard drugs never found their way into my bloodstream, because I’d be the dead kind of drug addict, for sure. I either do something exclusively for years, like obsess over pop punk as an angsty middle class teenager, or pour myself [...]

Sandwiches You Should NOT Like

by Canucklehead 06.30.2011

After all the chit chat about all the great artisanal sandwiches in Vancouver, it seems like the world’s two most powerful fast food chains have been listening. And their response has not been warm and fuzzy. It’s been Unleash Hell!
In the battle for anti-sandwich supremacy, KFC and McDonalds have both sent out their most fearsome [...]

Vancouver’s 10 Best Stoner Foods – 4:20 Edition

by paulkamon 04.20.2011

Inspired by the Eater’s take on New York City’s best stoner food, I thought it only natural that Vancouver, being the premier stoner and food city in the world! weigh-in with a definitve list of its own. So, fire up the bong, plug in the vapourizer, spark that spliff; happy 420, yo! It’s time to [...]

Honeymooning

by Jacob Galbraith 01.26.2011

So I’ve managed to change some pretty sizable pieces of my life in a short amount of time, among said changes: place of work. The details aren’t gruesome, typical even, but I’ve landed where the grass appeared to be greener only to discover that it is indeed greener… for now. By that I mean that [...]

The Age of Indigestion

by Jacob Galbraith 01.06.2011

The holiday season for this little line cook, and several others I’m sure, was spent juggling chaos and leisure, alternating between long days of feeding the frenzied and festive masses and taking some time to sit down, drink some wine, and enjoy the presence of people I care about; the bitter is seldom far removed [...]

Why So Serious?

by Jacob Galbraith 12.02.2010

I remember peering through the clutter of scraped off plates and often burnt pans, from the dish pit to the line, marveling at not only the pace, but also the collective focus of the entire brigade, evidenced primarily by the expressions they wore on their faces; the seemingly impossible combination of a furrowed brow with [...]

Know Your Enemy

by Jacob Galbraith 11.11.2010

The culinary world is full of vices, some of which you drink, others you smoke, while edible etceteras find themselves filed in the knotted bellies of kitchen folk everywhere. While some cooks find their fingers up to the knuckle in at least one of these pies, I only ever catch a [...]

Dirty Work

by Jacob Galbraith 10.26.2010

Whoever it was that decided white was the shade of choice for cooks and chefs was clearly a comic genius, because I don’t know a bigger challenge than keeping those whites white while handling the astonishing array of food that shows up through the back door on a daily basis. I’ve [...]

Thank You

by Jacob Galbraith 10.11.2010

The kitchen is the only place that I know that takes these two little words and does with them whatever it pleases. Gratitude is miles away towards the end of the night when the customers are pecking at the ruined corpse that once was a well prepped station, yet I still find myself giving thanks. [...]

Shit Show

by Jacob Galbraith 09.22.2010

Hollywood tainted love by leading people to believe that a wealthy man can fall for a wig wearing prostitute, and porn spoiled sex by tricking men into thinking that all women secretly crave explicit exploitation. Professional cooking, in turn, has been permanently fucked with by none other than Thomas Keller and his portrait of culinary [...]

CC 2010: Aquaman, Smokies, and Sustainable Campfire Sing-Alongs

by Jacob Galbraith 09.11.2010

One of the perks of being a cook who can also read and write at a fifth grade level is that I’m occasionally called upon to attend events I would never be able to make it to. Last May brought the Vancouver Craft Beer Week, and today I’ll be frolicking amongst approximately five hundred or [...]
