Happy Birthday, 80 Proof!

Although we signed on Mr. 80P to educate the blogosphere on the virtues of mixology, he soon found his niche in capturing the beautiful, the odd and the surprising in the kitchen. Thank you, 80P, for making the world wide web a more delicious place to be.

Oh, and try to remember us when you’re shooting salt-crusted branzino for the cover of Gourmet.

Name That Food!

Mystery Meat

I know you all spent your weekend banging your heads on the table trying to guess mystery meal. Some of you got pretty close on the outside layer. Unfortunately, no one got remotely close what is on the inside. But now your long wait is over, after the jump…

Alright, that headline ought to get us some google hits.

Editor’s Note: Before anyone accuses me of pulling a Huffington, I should confess that this is not a “real” blog post from El. Our sometimes contributor recently took a trip to Morocco, and while she has yet to write about it, she did finally do the Kodak Gallery thing, and her food pics were so amazing that I had to grab them and share.

Famous-for-DC Strikes Again

Let me tell you, getting this shot off was NOT easy.

So 80 and I were walking home from work and we’re just yacking away or whatever, fine, I’m yacking, and all of a sudden I’m screaming, “OMG, that’s totally Andrew Sullivan blogging at Subway!”

I stop dead and make 80 walk past the Subway to double check. And yup, it is. I then pull out my phone to snap a picture, but with no zoom on my cell, I realized I would have to go *inside* to get a picture off.

The plan: 80 would go in, buy chips, I would pretend to check my phone and start snapping away. Well, apparently 80 all of a sudden grows some morals (if they’re growable) since his much-noted celeb sighting and doesn’t want to go through with it. I immediately call BS for back up.

Famous-for-DC Folks Pig Out at the Airport - Just Like Us!

It’s a slow news week down in D.C., what with the Presidential campaign fully focused on Pennsylvania. So we sent our photo chief, 80 proof, down to National Airport to see if he could spy any celebs eating. In no time at all, 80p caught sight of the Mouth from the South himself, CNN commentator/Clinton family godfather James Carville.

I have to admit I was previously under the impression that Carville only ate fear, but as you can see, he stopped for a pre-flight snack at Einstein Bros. Bagels. But get this - Carville sat down, ate his Einstein Bros., and then immediately got back up and went to get some McDonalds, and ate that. Nice eating, Jimbo!

Don’t forget to send your pics of celebs and near-celebs eating to info@endlesssimmer.com

Bell’s Pale Ale = Good Beer

Did you know an anagram for Bell’s Pale Ale is All Able Sleep? Something to keep in mind at midnight.
