Ethikus – Ethical and Sustainable, and what that means to me and you

hi hi faithful readers, it’s been a while since my last post b/c I’ve been busy as a bee navigating my new post graduate school life in Manhattan exploring jobs in the food world. Carving your own food experiences into a formulated career is definitely a bit of a challenge, but I’ve been feeding off [...]

the Lobster

“Is anyone in this room a Vegetarian?”, Chef Ted shouted from the back sink. “If you eat meat, you have to do it.” The room was silent and tense as Chef Ted cleaned off his twelve inch chef knife. No one had an answer for him as we contemplated our fate.  I couldn’t even reason [...]

the Big Picture

is never simple… This TED talk by Ellen Gustafson on Obesity and Hunger is a great presentation.  She mixes humour in with a very bleak subject, and is passionate about what she believes in.  She has publicly stated her opinion, which I feel is of concern to the 80′s kids generation, of which I can [...]

Ironically, he’s a dentist, and his ultimate indulgence is sugar.  MmmHmmm, just like my sinful doctor friends who smoke [...]

Happy Earth Day!

This one’s going to be quick! Because I’m working on how to change the world! No just kidding, but I am working on doing what I can to lower my impact of my own garbage and huge carbon footprint while expanding my powerful and more useful thought bubbles instead. This pretty much sums up what [...]

Let’s Start a Food Fight!!

Frankly, it’s been a dream of mind to start a massive food fight and see it through since I was a little kid! So good for them!! — “Parents Object to Food Fight Punishment: Boring Food” Can you imagine!? Sure it’s wasteful, but how much more food goes to waste everyday in the restaurant industry, [...]

“What do you want to eat?”

Is the Question of the Century. We all make difficult decisions and sometimes unconscious decisions everyday about what to eat.  I know I wake up wondering about lunch and dinner, and when people ask me to pick a place to eat or to recommend them a good or fun restaurant, I know I instantly want [...]
