nashville scene complains about nytimes talking about a brooklyn recipe for nashville "style" hot chicken

im guessing the nytimes will not be issuing any sort of response.

read the full whiny blog post here.

 Really, New York Times? You think you've given away the secret to Nashville-style hot chicken? I'm guessing André Prince Jeffries of Prince's Hot Chicken Shack might have a thing or two to say. Not to mention the exclusive recipe Bites passed along. 
...
 Do we cut the, ahem, paper of record some slack for inserting the word "style" in there? I guess that's kind of the food writer's equivalent of the word "alleged" in an investigative story. Sort of gets you off the hook. I can just hear the reporter on the phone with Jeffries now: "No, ma'am, we didn't say, 'the secret to Nashville hot chicken.' We said, 'the secret to Nashville-style hot chicken.' " 
...
 Furthermore, I'm guessing Prince's will never be owned by a restaurant group that describes it as "an urban 'country cafe.' " Just sayin'.

starla is the chicken freak and thomas wilhelm can really let his hair down, but only with starla.

 thx for the tip kylie

nymag's guide to nashville

Check it out here. You have to tell me if they are correct before i go back to visit.

paul ryan smells like beef and cheese, he doesn't smell like santa.

you might've heard that vice presidential candidate paul ryan took the RNC stage last night and delivered a speech that most news outlets have fact-checked and concluded was riddled with false statements about the obama administration. today, the obama campaign has released a web ad in defense. see both.


2Pz : fair and balanced.

speaking of fair judgments, joel has determined that paul ryan is actually a chicken dressed in a man suit. you can hear the muffled clucks that are attempting to escape his lie-filled throat when he pauses for applause. fact-check THAT.

oh my god we've killed him

the vice president of corporate public relations for Chick-fil-a died of a heart attack today. gulp.

the reason for the season

fluff

speaking of chicken cuddling

there are other things that have been known to happen on the new york city subway system. like a guy selling chihuahua puppies out of his backpack. $300 for girls and $250 for boys in case you were wondering. via

that. just. happened.

Kylie,

(redacted) is producing a series called AMERICA CAUGHT ON CAMERA: NEW YORK CITY, which will air on The Travel Channel. The series will focus on New York and will be comprised of clips that focus all the different aspects of life in this city; “weekend warriors”, street performers, unique weddings ceremonies, partygoers who don’t know when to stop, to amateur dare devils willing to risk it all, to vacationers in situations that were definitely not on the itinerary, we are left in disbelief by moments that range from comedic to dramatic.

We would like to license the video of the Man cuddles and spoons a chicken on a busy subway train in NYC. We are offering a fee of _Two Hundred Dollars ($200.00).
Please send me your full address and phone number, and I will draft the applicable license agreement, and email it to you for signature.

Best regards,

(redacted) 

i'm RICH!!!!

what's for lunch

JUST SALAD: thai chicken crunch!

i left my heart at the fancy acre.

over the weekend, g.animalz and i ran screaming from the heat wave, all the way to sunny portland, oregon, to visit jenny and kevin at the fancy acre! would you like to hear a little about that? thought so.

the first thing you should know is that the acre recently acquired a brand new family member. his name is royal, and he is a tiny bear cub pomeranian.

here he is joining his roommates, patsy, loretta, and wynonna for a hearty breakfast of chicken feed. 

the second thing you should know is that despite what royal might tell you, he is not the boss. that title goes to mr. jacky scrapple. he likes to wear t-shirts, and he recently lost his signature snaggletooth. lucky for him, he has three more huge fangs left, and now his tongue has a bit more room to spread out (of his mouth).

i was lucky enough to get the fanciest room on the acre.

more about the chickens: they lay eggs! loretta and wynonna are pretty cool about it, and put them in the coop where they belong, but patsy's kind of a b. she thinks she's special because her eggs are blue, and she hides them under things all around the yard. i tried to help find them, but i wasn't very good at it. anyway, jenny basically made us a whole breakfast from chicken eggs and vegetables from their amazing garden. it was pretty fancy.

while we ate breakfast, we noticed a pretty loud buzzing sound. jenny and kevin just got some bees and a beehive, and a wild swarm showed up to make friends with them. there was like a million.

i could just go on and on about the wonders of the fancy acre forever. we also went on some adventures! for example, we took royal and jacky to peewee puppy play group at the dog park.

we floated down this river.

omg, remember patrick halley? he lives in portland, too! i forgot to take a picture of him, but he came over for our big green egg pizza cookout, and brought his beautiful cornhole boards. he also dropped off the new set of bags i ordered from the cornhole cooperative. aren't they gorge?

we visited kevin's world famous biscuit establishment, pine state biscuits. drool!!

ryan and i played some golf.

on my last night, we dined at park kitchen, which jenny is pretty much the boss of. i can't begin to describe what an enjoyable tasting menu flavor journey we were plied with. god. so good.

sadly, after that meal, it was time for me to head to the airport. i had such an amazing time (thx jenny, kevin, jacky and royal for being just the best hosts!). can't wait to visit again VERY soon.

ps - did you know portland and brooklyn are the same place?

What's for lurnch?

Yesterday afternoon I had a grilled chicken sammy with tomatoes on focaccia with BBQ kettle cooked cheap, cheap, cheaps. not pictured, a fiji water. square water tastes better that round water.

chickens. dont. CLAP!

michael and women? a-coodle-doodle-dooooooooo.

UPDATE. I've been to TOOTS. RIP

Kylie's high school friend was living a depressing life there. I hope she made it to NYC like she said she was planning on, but i doubt it.

dammit, i thought these two were platonic. rats.

the cuties behind proenza schouler dished to nymag about a rustic country home they have been improving in their off time. sounds depressingly perfect and terribly sexy.

They’re also working on the property’s circa-1790s house, which he says is in fairly original condition. “It’s great. We like it old; we’re kind of like restoring it as opposed to remodeling it. We’re taking it back to its original form.” Decorating, Hernandez noted, giggling, is not as butch. “That’s not the manly part. We like a little bit of both.” While the architecture is old, he says the interiors will be more like their life, a mix of things. “It’s not going to be a period piece.”

A little more prodding brought more shocking revelations. Like, they have livestock! Cows, goats, sheep, and chickens! There are also horses, but those belong to other people. “It’s fun, you know,” Hernandez said. “It’s a nice balance to the city life.” The designers also have two dogs, Jojo and Buster, a Newfoundland and a Doberman. But a fashion person can only talk livestock for so long. “I’m oversharing!” he said, and clammed up.
