For the past few months I have been looking for something I can print and put on the fridge to reference when planning grocery trips.  The purpose is to let me know what fruits and vegetables I should look for.  Seasonality ...

Recently, my friend Danny called me and asked, "Hey do you want to do a Fire Challenge with us?" He instantly had my attention. He proceeded to explain that there was a spot in Little Tokyo called Orochon Ramen that boasts to have the spiciest soup in the country. Their "Special ...

Hello again. Busy as ever here at FoodProof, working on new features and new ideas. We're also trying to get into the autumnal spirit with some subtle graphical changes around the site. Here's the cool stuff that just got added: Links ...

I have to say, at the expense sounding a bit full of myself, that I have always done banana bread quite well. It's probably the first thing I ever really baked. I got my recipe from the cookbook that was in nearly every household I have ...

Pittsburgh's own unique take on the art form of sandwich-making – the Primanti Bros. They make their sandwiches with the standard meat, cheese, and tomato, but also with the more unusual cole slaw and French fries, all on ...

Over in the forums there is a discussion going on about a meme that has been making its way around the food blogosphere for a few weeks.  I do not know who came up with this list, but it's a list of 100 things you should eat before you ...

These are not words that one typically expects to see together. Yet as I sat there in Madison, WI, staring at the menu board on the other side of the room in Mickie's Dairy Barn, there it was. Nestled unceremoniously in between the griddle ...

For some inscrutable reason the other day, I found myself at the Kansas State Fair. For some other strange reason, they had a giraffe. In Kansas. This one is going to take me a while to get over. Fairs are not just good for giraffes, however. ...

By Mike Hawkins www.foodfunk.ca  Once upon a time, well, an hour ago, I was driving my three-year-old daughter Alexandra home from nursery school. She had a great time, playing today in the gym instead of outside because ...

They are dropping like flies around here.  Half my workplace has been out sick in the past few weeks and my kid is full of snot. I don't have time for the seasonal plague so I decided to concoct a soup that will kill any virus within a mile. I was going to post this in recipes, but I ...

In the theme of Easter we thought it would be a fun experiment to make some chocolate cupcakes with a Cadbury Cream Egg center.  This was an experiment as we had never seen it done, nor did we have any experience making such ...

I could get with this.

I have only two words for this hot wing: Mother F**ker. I am not, by my nature, a fan of spicy food. My preferences on the Scoville trend just slightly above bell peppers. But when I found out that Quaker Steak and Lube sells a wing so hot ...

We had a set spending limit of $225. Of course I went for the decadent and high end items I would normally not be able to afford. Unfortunately, Katsuya really did not deliver, or at least in the way I was hoping. Instead it delivered exactly ...

By Mike Hawkins www.foodfunk.ca Aquaculture has been around for a few years now and most people are familiar with how it works. Atlantic salmon are grown in large cages off the shores of Charlotte County in New Brunswick, Canada, ...

One of the fun things about traveling all around the country is finding new and interesting places to go and eat while in a new city. One of the problems with this is that, invariably, when you ask someone where you should go while you're ...

I fucking love phở. Since I was introduced to it a few years ago it has been one of my favorite meals, and the phở in the Tampa Bay area is among the best I have had. One of the Vietnamese meals I have really wanted to try has been ...

So, summer is coming to an end and maybe you didn’t get a chance to take your dream vacation to Europe. You don’t have to travel to Greece or Italy to experience the unique flavors of Mediterranean cuisine. You can easily turn an ordinary salad into a Mediterranean-inspired ...

This was a new one for me. Dim Sum is kind of a big deal in Seattle, especially in the ID (the political correctness of "China Town" seems to have come into question at some point, so it has been re-titled "International District"), where ...

This list of vegetarian things to eat before you die is currently making the rounds so I thought I'd put it here.  Sorry, no in depth research for this one ... just dont have the time.    1. Edamame    2. Cha ...

It never really matters how much extra time you try and give yourself, when it comes to getting ready for a trip, you almost always find yourself running late. Which explains why I found myself running out the door for the first morning ...

As autumn rolls around again, I find myself drawn to heartier foodstuffs. After a summer of barely-cooked fresh produce, light yeasty breads, and delicate pastry, I'm ready for something a little more dense and filling. (Even though ...

After less than a month of furious planning, the reddit community, reddit and FoodProof are hoping you will come and meet our two lucky winners of 30 days of travel on jetblue: draynen and 77or88. Date: Tuesday September 8th ...

FoodProof is sponsoring the reddit Jetblue travel extravaganza!  What is it?  Well, Jetblue announced some time ago that they had a new offer in which you pay 600 bucks and can fly to their destinations unlimited for a ...

Last weekend at Jack London Square was the first annual (hopefully) Eat Real Food Festival. The idea was to get a bunch of local food vendors (markets, restaurants, street food trucks, etc) together and make it accessible to everyone. ...

So first of all, a quick hello to Reddit and a thank you to FoodProof for helping to sponsor our Fantastic Voyage. Over the next month, I'll be traveling across the country and blogging about my meals here.  I figured I'd get started ...

Samin Nosrat, sous chef at the just-closed restaurant Eccolo in Berkeley, wrote a thought-provoking reflection about the restaurant's demise in today's Chronicle. In her article, she considers the difficulty of providing high-quality foods and supporting small, local ...

When it comes down to it, I mean really comes down to it, how many ‘essential’ gadgets or pieces of kit do you have in your kitchen? The reason I ask is because a recent piece in Economist Intelligent Life got me thinking. It suggested that men’s love of technology stretches ...
