Some of us look for random bits of amazement that we try to incorporate into everyday life, in hopes of making the reoccuring act second nature at some point. It might have been opening zippo’s up like a gun or twirling pencils with both hands in diferrent directions at the same time, but it was something you may have sought out and learned for the possibility that it would become so habitual that it became a characteristic of your personality. In high school, I remember a dude named Dave that everyone always referred to as the dude that could give himself a blowjob and since then, all I’ll ever remember of Dave was that he was the crazy motherfucker who could suck his own dick.

Similarly, I’m guessing fellow wise guy and artist George Hart might have been one of those kinda dudes. An MIT Ph.D math whiz, Hart has documented a way to cut a bagel into two congruent halves when the path of the knife follows a two twist Mobius strip (read: one really long knife cut). In other words, some crazy nerd food shit.

“After being cut, the two halves can be moved but are still linked together, each passing through the hole of the other.   (So when you buy your bagels, pick ones with the biggest holes.) <pause>” – George Hart

More on Hart’s random acts of weird bagel slicing here.

A friend of mine told me about this online cooking show she started following, Tamradaviscookingshow.com, and that they attempted to make a vegetarian reuben modeled it after our reuben at Flore. I was curious and so i checked it out was sadly let down. I can tell you straight away tastes nothing like the one she and her niece concocted. I know this because I’m a cook at the before mentioned restaurant. I’d love to go into great detail why but I’m taking that recipe to the grave. Besides you cannot compare or even attempt to replicate a VEGAN sandwich and make it …. NOT VEGAN! As i was saying I was let down and some what disappointed by this video, buuuuutttt mesmerized by one Tamra Davis.

I looked her up because she is the wife of Mike D and boy was I surprised when I gazed upon her IMDB bio. You know what I’ll let you be surprised too… THE LINK.

From Reuters:

“People called me crazy. They said I was whimsical and it was impossible to grow baby-shaped fruits. They told me to stop wasting my time and money,” said Hao, who has sold nearly all the 18,000 pears he has cultivated for a hefty 50 yuan ($7) a piece.

Our brand new blog bro and now tour mate Thu Tran (confetti/balloon monger for Girl Talk) clued us up to Food Party, the blog for her cooking show (congrats to her on getting picked back up by IFC for 20 more episodes!).  Their most recent entry recounts a visit to a knockdown-drag-out cupcake and candy contest in chicago.  From the blog:

“Things started when said baker presented the Queen with a Marlboro Cowboy Coffee Cream Cupcake With Starbucks liquor chaser. So rowdy!  This dude steeped tobacco and then made a batter with it. So then the heat was on, and iron Cupcake Milwaukee was born, then Iron Cupcake: Earth, then spin offs including Iron Cupcake :Chicago…  …all of the cupcakes were very tasty, but some were better than others, AND only two of the contestants were actual chefs, most of these ladies were just badass moms and grandmoms looking for kicks and bragging rights.”

The Big Tex Choice Awards is like the Superbowl for Fair Foods. All entries must be new to the Texas State Fair and food is judged on most creative and best tasting. Previous award winners have been Fried Coke and Chicken Fried Bacon, pushing the limits to what can’t be successfully fried and made more infinitely awesome.

This year Abel Gonzalez Jr. took home the prize for Most Creative for his dish, Deep Fried Butter. Pure butter is whipped, then injected with different flavors, surrounded by dough and fried.
