My favorite restaurants in NYC
Spotted Pig and Cafe Habana
I now only need to travel to NY for the former. Cuz motherfuckin Cafe Habana is comin to LA. I got a press release in my mail today. I hate those things, but this one mentioned Cafe Habana and I was hooked from there. I’ll just copy and paste the press release below. But I figure the Title is all you really need to know about this little post.
I’m redesigning this blog also so expect a big treat. Or least expect to not be looking at the same layout I pieced together in 10 minutes circa 2006.
If you’re bored cuz of the lack of updates check out my facebook “every meal for a year album”
Tour food is so unreal. Lauren our tour manager makes these PBNJ+Chips sandwiches that are amazing.
If you’re not friends with me on facebook, srsly you might want to add me just for insights like these.
Right now i’m snacking on poppycock this stuff is good.
i’m back on the tour bus. so you’ll probably be without dope video updates til xmas
fucking tourbus bane of my existence.
on that note you should probably be my facebook friend, because i’m posting photos of every meal I eat for my 23rd year real time from my blackberry.
so ill!
So now that i’m all acclimated with my new place I can get back to posting good stuff. I’m sorry for my post slow down, but Radam’s commentary on Skinny Zoo was a 30 commenter so that’s good for something. Right?
Anyways let talk about stuff that I LOVE RIGHT NOW:
First and foremost everyone loves pizza, well everyone loves good pizza. I love good Pizza, and I love the environment so I fell head over heels for Andiamo Pizza in silverlake.
Pink Enemy genius Cory Nitta and I went there the other day and had us the “Four-Mag-Gee-Oh Cone Fun-Ghee” we don’t even try to speak italian when we’ve been in the studio for 8 hours straight. Anyways on paper it looks like Formaggio Con Funghi and it was incredible. Of course at that point it was just an above average restaurant then as i’m checking out the menu left at our table I notice this paragraph “Our philosophy, practices, and packaging are eco friendly” I inquired about that and this place is state of the art eco friendly.
They have compost and recycling no trash in the kitchen what so ever. I mean even the silverware is made of bio degradable sugar fibers (or maybe corn syrup I forgot). Anyways it was amazing, so being that I like to rep good stuff and especially like to rep good stuff doing good by mother nature. It’s your duty to go check out Andiamos it’s at 2815 Sunset Blvd in silverlake kinda tucked away in a little pull in mall thingy.
Second the new m83 “Saturdays = Youth” is fucking mindblowing. It makes my whole life feel like a movie when I put it on. We own the sky is probably the easiest first listen but the whole record is soooo good.
M83 – We Own The Sky (From “Saturdays = Youth “)
Gotye – Heart’s a Mess (Ocelot RMX) The ocelot guys sent me this track a while ago and I LOVE IT. Didn’t post it but now i see other blogs have posted it so here goessss.

Basically it’s just batter blaster shot into a deep fryer, but that’s good enough for me.
Soo everything is getting good and more good and more goodeder. Tonight was really fun, I played bangers for an hour straight got paid and watched tommy and aero smash Thoth in dallas. Real nice spot, good sound, nice people. The club promoters put me up across the st. at the Adolphus. This hotel is ridiculous, so dope. I had an amazing chicken breast/mashed potatoes/iced tea meal. I mean amazing. Room service was on point. I guess this is where queen elizabeth stays when she comes to dallas, I mean they have a picture of her hangin up when u walk in. I just strolled into the lobby at 4:30 am and the people at the concierge said “good morning” some lady had her bags and was going out to the airport gave me the “who is this crackhead walking into this nice hotel” look.
Anyways after I played at thoth Caleb Gauge hit me up ,and him and Klever were at Suite (a BE YOU TI FUL club in dallas) there’s this really ill downstairs area where Matt the owner has his office and a bunch of great designer furniture.
Anyways we’re playing wango tango and i’m so pumped. Lineup is so official. Jonas Bros… lookout theres a new hunky 3some coming to tango.
Also buzzin hit JoJo’s top 9 at 9 today on KIIS… do you understand how insane that is.
Wamp Wamp tomorrow is houston. Hopefully I’ll see Slim Thug.
but that aint stoppin me from having the best time ever.
check me all laid out in the Amalfi Hotel (i think jann from the office would stay here if she was in chicago) got my room temperature set to like 74 degrees and I might as well be back home.
Except outside there is snow everywhere and it’s about 20 degrees
bawwwwwlin
just had a world famous rockit burger with the jamie and some of the other homies that work for rockit/underground.
heard last week my guys in Flosstradamus brought the house down at underground so I gotta step my shit up and kill it.
for real i think this burger has me talking/writing funny. It might have been the cheese, it was some serious cheese.
This video below is the best thing to ever happen to me:
Also you know who should have headlined Coachella? Placebo. That’s right Placebo.
It’s a new year. Time to set the tone for my blogging capabilities in the 2000 and 8.
Let’s start off on the OMFG Tasty and Amazing foot. Anybody who knows me, knows i love pancakes.
So the “Organic Batter Blaster” is nothing short of life changing.
Who wants to buy me a can? I’ll make you some pancakes.
Maybe one day i’ll be able to afford a house, i’ll probably have to move to like austin or minneapolis or something but I like those places.
Anyways when i buy that fantasy house i’m gonna put a pizza oven in my backyard like this guy.
This is an AP story. This is crazy.
Two students at Southern Illinois University in this St. Louis suburb kidnapped, paddled and burned a young man with freshly baked cookies after a drug deal went bad, prosecutors said.
Madison County prosecutors on Monday charged Rosario James, 23, and Jordan Sallis, 20, each with two counts of aggravated kidnapping and one count of robbery and aggravated battery.
Both were jailed Tuesday on $150,000 apiece.
Sheriff’s Capt. Brad Wells said that Friday night, three men went to James’ house to buy marijuana, but two of them grabbed the drugs and fled, leaving the third behind. The suspects held that man, who is in his late teens, and told him he needed to find $400 for the drugs, Wells said.
The suspects beat the man with a wooden paddle, burned his neck and shoulders with cookies immediately after taking them from the oven, shaved off some of his hair and poured urine over him from a soda bottle, Wells said.
“It was just sheer torture,” Wells said.
I’ve started stumbling across good recipes, and most importantly recipes that match my attention span. It’s not like i’m gonna spend 4 hours making a meal when i’m hungry now. So hopefully i’ll get some more tips and post them up. Get ready to eat like kings, and here’s hoping you’re not lactose intolerant (or vegan for that matter).
10 Tips For the Greatest Grilled Cheese
It’s the childhood favorite you never outgrow, the most comforting comfort food of all time — the grilled cheese sandwich. American, cheddar, gouda … whatever your pleasure, follow these ten tips from Laura Werlin, author of Great Grilled Cheese, and have yourself a slice of melted heaven.
Cheese
1. Good to grate
Don’t slice your cheese when you can grate it (the bigger the grater, the better). This ensures evenly melted, gooey cheese in every bite.
2. Get cheesy
Don’t be shy — plan on about two ounces of cheese per sandwich. Use your palm to press the grated cheese onto the bread so it doesn’t fall out.
3. Embrace the ooze
Don’t fret if the cheese oozes out of the sandwich. The toasty bits at the bottom of the pan are the best part!
Bread
4. No need to Wonder
Don’t just assume that white is the only way. If you love focaccia or whole-wheat, go for it.
5. Size does matter
Don’t slice your bread more than 1/4″ thick or it’ll overwhelm the cheese.
6. Smush your bread
Flatten sandwiches with a spatula or a heavy pan to ensure oozing cheese and crisp rather than doughy bread.
Butter
7. Butter le pain, not le pan
Spread room-temperature butter on the bread (on the side you’re grilling, not the inside of the sandwich) before you grill. That way, you’ll get evenly buttered, evenly browned bread with a little crunch.
8. Salted butter is best
Just trust me.
Cooking
9. Stick with nonstick
Although a cast-iron skillet is the traditional fave, a nonstick skillet is your best bet for easy flipping and no sticking.
10. Put a lid on it
Cover the skillet while cooking the first side of the sandwich for maximum cheese melting.
And now for the ultimate grilled cheese recipe, from Laura Werlin’s Great Grilled Cheese:
The Best Grilled Cheese
8 slices sourdough bread (1/4 inch thick)
2 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
6 ounces best-quality cheddar cheese (orange or white), coarsely grated
To assemble: Butter one side of each slice of bread. Place 4 slices on your work surface, buttered side down. Distribute the cheese evenly over the 4 slices. Place the remaining 4 bread slices on top, buttered side up.
Stovetop method: Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Put the sandwiches in the skillet (in batches if necessary), cover, and cook for 2 minutes, or until the undersides are golden brown and the cheese has begun to melt. Uncover, and turn the sandwiches with a spatula, pressing firmly to flatten them slightly. Cook for 1 minute, or until the undersides are golden brown. Turn the sandwiches again, press with the spatula, and cook for 30 seconds, or until the cheese has melted completely. Serve immediately.
Sandwich maker method: Preheat the sandwich maker. Follow directions for sandwich assembly, and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Gas grill method: Brush the grill rack with oil and preheat the grill to medium-high. Follow directions for sandwich assembly. Put the sandwiches on the grill and follow directions for the stovetop method.
Makes 4 sandwiches.
Mike Tyson obviously has a thing for west side chinese food, because he likes Maos Kitchen so much he got their logo tattooed on his arm. What a cool guy.
But honestly, he has Mao and Che.I bet there are some serious socio anarchist takeover plans in that head of his. His internal monologues are probably pretty awesome, working out coup strategies like “We go to the white house, I start punching through walls and you guys raid the refrigerator.”
Also he got arrested. A little cocaine a little DUI. Not a big deal, I still love him.
And I Love Daughters, there new album is pretty fun not their old screamy grind but still slashy and I like it.
Man I just destroyed a bag of these things. You gotta go get them, they’re tortilla chips. But they have this taste, its kind of like soy sauce but sweeter and sexier. Yaa i know how good does that sound. You can get them at their website but I would buy them at a whole foods or Trader Joes type establishment.
