Equipment: What Spice Grinder Should I Buy?

Each week J. Kenji Lopez-Alt ( KA Cuisine and GoodEater.org ) will drop by with a list of tools or a tool you might want to stock your kitchen with—if you haven’t already. Kenji also writes The Food Lab column here on SE. You can fan The Food Lab on Facebook for play-by-plays on his future kitchen tests and recipe experiments. —The Mgmt. As I’ve pointed out in my 3rd Guide to Essential Kitchen Hand Tools , a mortar and pestle is really the best way to grind spices if you are only an occasional spice-user, and don’t very often use more than a few tablespoons at a time. It’s quick, effective, easy to clean, and gives you great control over the finished product. But just this past weekend, I found myself with 18 pounds of brisket, 22 pounds of ribs, and 20 pounds of pork shoulder, all of which required a rub before an all-nighter of barbecueing before the Fourth of July. That’s an awful lot of grinding, and for times like those, it calls for breaking out the big guns: an electric spice grinder. For all intents and purposes, a spice grinder and a coffee grinder are essentially the same rebranded product, so we won’t distinguish between them in …

Coffee Tree to Cup in Brazil: Part 2, The Harvest

Author’s note: In early June, I attended the coffee harvest in Pedregulho, Brazil, with leading specialty coffee producer Octavio Café and Dallis Coffee , the New York coffee roaster that Octavio recently acquired. Down at Octavio’s Nossa Senhora Aparecida farm, I leaned how coffee goes from the plant to your French press—as millions of coffee trees are picked, sifted, seeded, dried, roasted, and brewed into the coffee that wakes you up every morning. Here’s Phase 2: all about the harvest. — CJ Missed Part 1? Check it out here

Is the Coffee Break Dead? Bring Back Mug Time

[ Photograph: Erin Meister ] Sometimes it seems there are only two types of people who go to coffee shops anymore: the Stay-Puts (oh, you know—laptops and power cords, lukewarm Americanos nursed for hours, the tell-tale, “Do you have Wi-Fi?”) and the Lemme-Gettas (as in, “Lemme getta cuppa regular to go”). The Stay-Puts practically become a part of the decor, while Lemme-Gettas dart around like bugs in a jar, desperate to get out ASAP. As a barista, I can sympathize with both breeds. There’s a certain satisfaction to whiling away the many, many hours (mostly working but also “working”) outside of one’s own dreary apartment; there’s also a particularly heady feeling of freedom that comes from being presented with piping-hot coffee in a disposable container you can chug from, chuck on the way to the train, and promptly forget about. But what about that delicious in-between? Where has the true coffee break gone? I don’t mean the “coffee break” as in the time spent in the office kitchen, pouring yourself some of the sludge that’s been sitting on the burner for hours. I mean that instead of just “running…

Fired Up Over the Burger at Little Dom’s in Los Angeles

From A Hamburger Today [Photographs: Damon Gambuto] Little Dom’s 2128 Hillhurst Avenue, Los Angeles CA 90027 ( map ); 323-661-0055‎; littledoms.com Cooking Method: Wood Grilled Short Order: A neighborhood Italian restaurant wood fires a burger that will haunt your burger dreams Want Fries with That? Yes, but don’t don’t call them fries; the fried potatoes here are a masterful reinterpretation Prices: Wood Grilled Burger (w/fried potatoes), $12 at lunch, $15 at dinner Notes: There are loads of right turns on Little Dom’s menu, but if you want an additional side for your burger meal, I’d go with the excellent rice balls Among the many dreams cradled in the landscape of my Los Angeles, there exists a range of possibility. On one end lives a young man’s desire for achievement and recognition. I’ve spent years working in the movie and TV businesses, and with that comes a de rigueur fantasy life of what may come; mayhap a screenplay that punches my ticket for a first class Hollywood ride? On the other end is the dream of a simple life in a pleasant neighborhood…

Not so naked cupcakes in Bacliff, Texas

These cupcakes are by The Naked CupCake in Bacliff, Texas. Their motto is “We bake ‘em, You dress ‘em!” I found these photos on their Facebook page . I guess their location is in flux right now but it seems they are doing custom cupcakes and catering; front page says they have free wifi but then location says: Due to the increased demand of our scrumptious Naked CupCakes we have decided to upgrade to a larger establishment. Until our new doors open we are taking orders by phone with free delivery. Anyway, I liked the photos and wanted to share them and those near them in Texas can taste for yourselves. > The Naked CupCake and Coffee Cafe Bacliff, Texas 77518 832-655-4165 832-689-3689 thenakedcupcakes at gmail.com

Listen to Ed on ‘The Takeaway’ Radio Program Talk About Favorite Northeastern Foods

In case you missed Ed’s appearance on the news show The Takeaway with host John Hockenberry this morning (we won’t blame you, it was 6:49 AM EST) you can listen to it here. They chat about emblematic regional foods from all over the Northeast, including Rhode Island’s coffee milk, Philly cheesesteaks, Maine’s lobster rolls, and well, Delaware was a toughie. Hot dogs? Blue crabs? Salt water taffy?

Street Food Profiles: The Dim Sum Truck in Los Angeles

[Photographs: Esther Hahn] Name: The Dim Sum Truck Twitter: @dimsumtruck Vendor: Alex Chu Dumplings! What’s on the menu? Both traditional and fusion-style dim sum items: Shu Mai, Har Gow, barbecue pork buns (baked and steamed), sweet egg custard tarts (brûléed when ordered), roasted Peking duck tacos—just to name a few selections! Location and hours? Regular stops include Venice (The Brig), Santa Monica, West Los Angeles (Sawtelle), Beverly Hills (Myspace Building), Downtown (USC and FIDM) and Mid-Wilshire (E! building). The Dim Sum Truck serves lunch and dinner and at special events. But Mondays we take off. Buns. How long has the Dim Sum Truck been on the streets? Since February 2010. How has Twitter affected business? Twitter helps spread the word and creates an ongoing interaction with fans and consumers. The feedback received via tweets is especially helpful. Why a mobile business over brick-and-mortar? With (good) dim sum fairly limited to the San Gabriel Valley in Los Angeles (and during breakfast and lunch hours), I wanted to bring the food to the consumer and serve it at any hour, at any …
