Food Pairing 101: What Goes with Bounce Together by Lola King & the Kickstarts

Lola King & the Kickstarts aren’t your typical indie rock band. First, they seem to have a sense of humor. I’m talking funny lyrics, performances in cars and pink guitars in the laundromat. There is more going on than the brooding, holier than thou, pseudo coolness that permeates way too many bands. Second, Lola puts her lyrics together in a way that is unparalleled in [...]

Japanther Dreams of Dessert Sushi

Dude walks into a sushi bar, one of those hardcore ones where people are wearing bandanas, there are no forks anywhere to be found and sake is being sucked from a keg. He shouts out to the crowded bar “I’ve got dessert sushi.” Hearing this the crowd rushes forward. He explains that his dessert sushi consists of “Crepe dough, rolled around a peanut butter laced [...]

Food Pairing 101: What Goes Well With Coldboy by Astronauts, Etc.

The new single from Astronauts, etc is called “Coldboy.” It is a hypnotic upbeat foray into the world of electronic pop. It is what would happen if MGMT and Passion Pit decided to put on a dance part smack dab in the middle of a terrible blizzard. During “Coldboy”, Astonauts, etc’s last single before the release of his LP in August (which will be all brand [...]

Food Pairing 101: What Goes Well With a Dairy Free Sicilian Pizza?

A few years back I wrote about the wonderful deep dish Sicilian pizza that is offered in a Wesley Chapel strip mall. After every half marathon I return to La Prima Pizza to ease the pain and celebrate a (hopefully) successful 3 months of training. Now that I have pretty much removed dairy from my diet I was looking for another way to continue to [...]

Food Pairing 101: What Goes Well With “Chocolate” by the 1975?

The 1975 aren’t ones to rest on their laurels.

The Great Vegan Bambino Swaddled by Stereo Telescope

Babe Ruth is arguably the greatest baseball player in the history of the game (and was voted so by The Sporting News back in ’98). He is also one of the most famous. Part of this notoriety stems from his being more than just an athlete. Sure he did amazing things on the field but his celebrity was cemented off the field. It was here [...]

Gluten Free, Dairy Free Chocolate Peanut Butter Pillows Feathered by Hollow Giants and Hangmas

There is this tale, nearly as old as my school, that everyone loves to tell. It is one that has so many different versions and interpretations, it is hard to tell which one actually happened. I think the closest to the truth goes something like this: It was the school’s 21st anniversary. For years they had been hosting a Christmas cookie exchange. Everybody bakes a [...]

Vegan Korean Style Vetcakes Freed by Ryan Hemsworth, Discoteka Yugostyle and Hello Ocho

Yesterday was Veterans Day in the United States, a national holiday that celebrates all the men and women that have served in the military. For some it is just a day off of work. Others celebrate by visiting a graveyard and planting flags to pay homage to those who have served and died. I used the day to focus on helping my community and reaching [...]
