New York Times writer calls out Black people for lovin Red Lobster and she ain't lyin'! it all stems from the definition of "soul food" and a mild argument is if we go by patronage then Red Lobster would have to be it and I'd actually have to agree. There's a Red Lobster 3 blocks away from my home and it's allways rammed with Black faces. as a proud Nova Scotian I'd NEVER go ther (barring my old

NBA great, Nate Thurmond has been running Big Nate's Barbeque for 17 years and loves it.Port Chester in NY, got a Soul Food cookout of their own on Saturday. What a nice idea: a free family event, with healthy versions of soul food (although I did spot jerk chicken on the menu SMDH).At the event, there was a milk taste test to convince kids that 1% and 2% were just as tasty as whole milk and

Black is poppin' big time in Toronto lately and I'll never be mad at that. The newbie magazine aimed at us called Sway is still around after like, 5 issues and not only is it free but it actually has the shiny high expectations you'd expect from paid circulation mags. The cover alone is such heavy glossy paper it makes me gloriously dizzy. Sorry - magazine journalism student!A group of investors

Okay, so I've been way too much take-out lately since I've started back at school part-time and a new job simultaneously. As soon as training at work settles into a comfortable rhythm I'll be back on the cooking track but in the meantime I have been coppin' some information about soul food happenings. Like for instance, are you aware that there exists a magazine dedicated to it? Apparently it's

OK, so it wasn't the 21'st it was the 15th but I live in Canada man! If we waited until the 21'st to have this end of summer dinner, not only would it have technically been autumn but it woulda been hella freezing! This morning when I got up the news said it was 9°C /48 °F!But we still played Earth Wind and Fire in homage ;-)We had quite the meal last night and I'm still kinda stuffed. BBQ

In an effort to make me more accountable to this blog I've decided to keep tabs on the soul food blogosphere and report back so when I finally get a reader they can't say I never shared ;-)The criteria I'm using besides soul food will be that the subject or blogger must be Black. There are thousands of food blogs and food blog/news round-ups for every color under the sun except us, so now it's

Hmm just thinking of pork from the last post made me think about how else I like my pork. Who can resist ribs? i could thrown down on a pile of ribs any day any how. the recipe below is my latest favorite way to prepare them...until the next recipe comes along that is - and really, I use this only when I'm in an industrious mood.Ingredients are roughly written below with approximations because

Those of you who live in Toronto I'm sure already know that there is an abbatoire in the city. Yep, an honest to goodness slaughterhouse (Quality Meat Packers) just off the beaten path of the downtown core. I used to live at the bottom of Bathurst St. and just before the bridge and to the left, is where the pigs meet their fate in droves. It's still operational and every year theres an article

I tried out a recipe from another blog that shall remain nameless, and it sucked donkey balls. I should have known when it called for cinnamon and butterscotch chips. Normally the mere thought of those two ingredients alone would make me cream my jeans, which is why I decided it was worth wasting the ingredients on, but what a colossal fucking waste! I've come to the decision that certain foods

What’s better than getting’ high on chocolate cookies? Having Chinese food when the munchies hit! Well what I really wanted was a really good, meaty egg roll like I used to get down home. Far too many places (Mr. Pong and your jumbo egg roll I mean you!) put way too much cabbage and sprouts in their egg rolls and far far too many don’t make egg rolls at all preferring spring rolls. *blowing a

White people always know what to do with herb that Black folks haven't even heard of let alone tried. All the White people I know have kits for their weed. Fancy old-skool lunchboxes filled with specialty papers, scissors, a pipe, filter paper and often a jar of roaches. Black people will often have to run next door for papers cuz we rarely think ahead. We spend enough time thinking about just

I've been hemming an hawing about if and how I wanted to do a food blog for quite some time now and I've finally decided to give it a shot when I realized how truly interested I've become in gastronomical pursuits. Everybody loves food but when you start asking for mandolin's at Christmas, a ricer, or even a melon baller, one can assume that you're a bit more serious than some about your
