As veterans of several state fairs, at Endless Simmer we know there’s just about no food that can’t stand for a little frying.

Yes, it’s good. Yes, it’s better battered and fried.

These pretty zucchini blossoms will be showing up at the far mar before you know it. You know what to do.

Fine, maybe this one didn’t work out so well, but you know we’ll be trying again.
Is it just me, or have we not had a good ES rant in a bit? Don’t worry, we haven’t simmered down. We promise there is plenty more out there in the big, bad food world that burns our bacons. For now, enjoy three of our favorite BoBs from posts gone by:
Britannia: An Open Letter to the Salt and Pepper Shaker Filler Uppers
Gansie: There is No Such Thing as a Giant Cupcake
Oh, and a bonus rant: The king of having his bacon burned — Anthony Bourdain — has something to say about this year’s James Beard Award nominations, or as Tony calls it, the James Beard “Goat rodeo/awards ceremony/chef shakedown.”
What burns your bacon? Send us a food rant and if it rubs us the right way, we just might publish it!

Spring is officially here! Which doesn’t explain why I see snow on the ground and there still isn’t a goddamn thing worth buying at the farmers’ market. Seriously, screw you apples and potatoes. I’m done with you. Because arugula was basically the only thing providing a shade of green at the far mar this weekend, here are three vintage ES arugula recipes to get you through until we start seeing some serious spring veggies.
Remember, you can find all kinds of vegetarian recipes in the ES recipe index.
