Bourdain Meets His Match...

I laughed pretty good at this one, Anthony Bourdain gets schooled by a 10 year-old. 

Team Oregon. The Video.

More messing around with Animoto. Now I'm able to do full length videos, so as I'm sure you've guessed there will be a lot more video going on around here.

Endless Possibilities

Found this new site (or at least new to me) Animoto, I checked it out after seeing Micheal Ruhlman mention it in passing about the Food Blogger camp he was apart of down in Mexico this past week. This video (outside of rendering - even though it's fast too) took 5 minutes to put together. 

Just point click, choose some music and off you go. You can even hit remix and no one video will ever be the same, I'm going to upgrade to the $30 a year option so I can produce full length videos with the free membership you can produce a 30 sec vid only though you can upgrade a video for like $3 a video. Here's one I did as a test, it features pictures from our Prix Fixe Menu on Christmas Eve at Scratch.

Feisty!

Before I knew of Food Network, my mother and I would watch "Great Chef's of the World" on the Discovery channel. What I always thought was great, is the fact that most of the chefs that made appearances on the show liked or knew how to be in front of a camera.

I was doing some searching around and came up with this gem. Just watch and see if you can catch what's so feisty.

Video: Cookie Covered Ice Cream Balls

Of course, done Wylie Dufresne style..

Wylie Dufresne, Liquid Nitrogen, and Frozen Ice Cream Cookie Balls from Gizmodo on Vimeo.

Wylie Dufresne of WD-50 shows Adam Frucci of Gizmodo how he and his pastry chef use liquid nitrogen to create ice cream balls perfectly encased in chocolate cookie crumbs. Mmmm, delicious!

Video: Gnocchi with Thomas Keller

Hat tip to the Amateur Gourmet for posting this. As you'll learn I'm a big fan of Thomas Keller. This was posted at AG today, and I couldn't resist posting it here. Oh, voting for Foodie Fight #8 came out today, the winner wasn't me. So please enjoy some Thomas Keller.

Foodie Fight: DVD Extra

Below is a quick slide show of the two other platings of my entry into Foodie Fights. As I mentioned in the original post, I tried three different plating's before coming up with the one I submitted.

Enjoy!
