Dude Food

We started our Dude Food series this spring in order to mix up the usual BGSK offerings with interviews and submissions for and by dudes. We like to think of this section as the man cave below the BGSK kitchen. If you have ideas, become a dude food contributor!

You might remember our friend Keith from the early days of the blog as co-founder of Phoebe’s epic chili and stew cook-offs. Though Keith’s victory is debatable in the version we tell in our book (see page 116, the section opening for the Dating & Food section, for …

We started our Dude Food series this spring in order to mix up the usual BGSK offerings with interviews and submissions for and by dudes. As you can image, having “big girls” in our name has been a bit of a deterrent for the male population. We like to think of this section as the man cave below the BGSK kitchen.

For a fish-friendly Father’s Day Meal, check out this Formal Pescatarian Dinner!

In preparation for Father’s Day last year, I had my dad teach me how to make his favorite morning oatmeal. In addition to announcing that my dad is an oatmeal man, I also revealed that he is not a grill guy. A year later, this has changed.

Last summer, my dad went on a grill kick, learning how to fire up his chimney, manipulate a flame, and create a perfect crosshatch on beautiful pieces of seafood. So this year, I can proudly say that my dad …

Josh Shaub is the guy behind most of the photographs in our book. Introduced to us as a food photography expert by a friend, he thought he was just getting a cup of coffee at the newly opened Ace Hotel last March. Little did he know he’d find himself spending several days at several locations, shooting most of the images you see in In the Small Kitchen and some of the ones you see around this site.

So we are starting a new blog category to host some manly food talk. We like to think of this section as the man cave below the BGSK kitchen. But it will also include female guest bloggers, including some of our own musings on the subject of men and meals. Topics will include dating, male mastery of certain cuisines (as typical as BBQ, or unexpected as salad), and awesome …
