Village Voice Meat Cover Art for Feature on Kosher Empire Implosion [food art]
We totally dug the cover art of last week's Village Voice for the feature The Fall of the House of Rubashkin. The art, for some reason, doesn't appear online.
Fashionable Holiday Recipes From Style.com
The clothes-and-shoes types over at Style.com aren't exactly known for their eating habits (it's hard to reconcile a love for pork belly with the desire to wear a Leger bandage dress).

Portland's Food Cart Pods and Voodoo Doughnuts in 'The Amazing Race' [video]
New York City has some serious competition when it comes to food carts. Last night's season finale of The Amazing Race had the finalists running around Portland, Oregon, where one of the challenges was to find the Russian cart among downtown Portland's various Alder Street cart pods.

'Jizz in My Pants' from Saturday Night Live with Justin Timberlake, Jamie-Lynn Sigler [video, SNL]
"Jizz in My Pants" is the latest Digital Short from Saturday Night Live produced by The Lonely Island. Featuring Justin Timberlake and Jamie-Lynn Sigler as grocery store employees, the video can't help but remind of us of the semen cookbook, Natural Harvest - A Collection of Semen-Based Recipes.

"The Slave Betty," a teapot wrapped in traditional Japanese shibari (sexual rope bondage) intrigues me. According to NotCot, the shibari renders the object "suspended for its master and made available for all to enjoy."
When you consider it from a sexual perspective, the ideas of ownership and public enjoyment run a little creepy niche, but it [...]
