    Godspeed You! Black Emperor touring again

    Since the original tour listing, they've added another night in Chicago (3/28) at the Vic. Hasn't sold out yet, which is kind of crazy.

    Penhaligon's Quercus Shampoo

    Yeah, you don't get a much better response than that... I remember having it @ the JW Marriott in London.

    Your favorite place in Hong Kong

    The nunnery is great - great view and juxtaposition of the site's buildings with the towers and such from the rest of HK. Also a fan of walking along the harborfront (TST side) at night, then skipping over to the island and exploring a bit more. The buildings are beautiful and stuff like the...

    Does anybody like WD-50?

    I'll dissent and say i really like wd-50. Is every course going to blow you away? No, of course not. The vast majority are conceptually interesting (either from a story perspective or a flavor/texture/etc perspective). Two of the best dishes I've ever had are from there: 1. A disc of foie...

    Toronto Temperance Society

    I'm interested to see how the membership fee will impact the price (if at all) of drinks. On one end, you have the $0-startup, all-marginal pricing for drinks (like 99% of bars), and on the other (in theory) you could have a high yearly fee with $0-marginal drinks.

    Rouxbe online cooking school?

    I really like it. I have a lifetime membership. There's really two sections: 1. Video recipes 2. Cooking school The recipes are good - not exceedingly difficult to execute and the videos are spot on. Good detail, visuals, and breakouts of unfamiliar terms. The stuff I've made has generally...

    Not-unhealthy salty crunchy savoury snacks?

    If you have a food dehydrator, kale chips are good and extremely healthy. Basically break apart the kale, toss with a little olive oil and salt, touch of honey, then spread onto dehydrator sheets, 115 degrees for 8 hours, and boom - crispy, salty, relatively savory and tasty snack that's...

    Yerba Mate (the drink of the gods)

    It has a smokier, vegetative, almost leathery taste, relative to tea. I'd perhaps say that mate is to black/oolong tea as scotch is to brandy or rum. I think it's worth a try, either using a gourd or other extraction methods. Not much else like it.

    Ultimate noob thread - recommend me X in my wardrobe - post questions here please.

    If you still want to keep w/ the peacoat aesthetic, I have a shorter/cropped Costume National one I'm looking to sell. Great for a thinner guy, doesn't look goofy with slim denim. PM me if you're interested!

    Yerba Mate (the drink of the gods)

    I love mate. There's a different taste you get from drinking it in the gourd vs. a french press. Recommend either; french press is probably easier to try since most people have a press before they have the gourd and bombilla. There's a great sampler pack out there, I bought it in Argentina but...

    Great chicago restaurants ~$80/person?

    +1. The truffled popcorn is gimmicky. Do you say that because it's popcorn, or because its yet another use of truffle oil? I'd probably agree that it can be gimmicky, but it's still good.

    Great chicago restaurants ~$80/person?

    A resto I forgot to add to the list is Graham Elliot. Such good food at his place. The truffled popcorn is awesome.
