Thug Kitchen: Vegan Food With Attitude

thug kitchen vegan food attitude eat like you give a fck cookbook
Michelle Davis and Matt Holloway, the creators of the bad a*s vegan food blog Thug Kitchen, grew up like many of us did, making quick dinners at home slathered in cheese. Processed food wasn’t looked down upon on that era, and drinking green Hi-C and dipping your fries in purple ketchup was okay. Fast-forward a few years to when Davis and Holloway realized that the food of their youth wasn’t the way to go. It’s all about fresh, organic vegetables! That’s when the two decided to create Thug Kitchen. For those of you who don’t know, the blog has a no holds barred approach to creating tasty, healthy vegan food. It’s not one of those pretty blogs that’s oh so perfect, the foul-mouthed pair just don’t give a damn, and now you can find a bunch of their recipes in one handy book.

Thug Kitchen: The Official Cookbook: Eat Like You Give a F*ck is filled with bad words and recipes for dishes with titles like Roasted Beer and Lime Cauliflower Tacos, Pumpkin Chili, and Grilled Peach Salsa. Davis and Holloway want to make healthy vegan cooking easy and fun. Just Because It’s Vegan, Doesn’t Mean It Can’t Be Badass, goes the first commandment of Thug Kitchen. We have to admit, we love our meet, but this cookbook showed us that vegan food can actually be delicious and oh so satisfying. So do yourself a favor if you want to elevate your cooking skills, eat healthy and be a bad a*s all at once — go grab a copy of this cookbook and get cracking!

No one can argue that smoked meat is one of the great joys in life. If someone does, immediately unfriend them — they are not worthy of your time. Kidding, but only kind of. And while we love all pieces of smoked meat, from sausages to ribs and beyond, there’s something truly special about biting into a perfect piece of brisket, with its pink smoke ring, flavorful bark, and juicy meat that is just the right texture. While we’ve cooked many briskets in the oven in our day, smoked brisket is a much bigger undertaking, especially if you’re new to the backyard barbecue game.

New York City barbecue has been coming into its own during the past decade, which can be seen in the city’s many meaty festivals that take place every year. (Don't believe us? Check out this episode of Beards, Booze, and Bacon with Arrogant Swine's Tyson Ho.) One such event, Brisket King NYC, which has been going on for over ten years and draws pitmasters from near and far to compete for the best brisket in the city. This year, top pitmasters will be throwing down for the title on April 26, 2023, in what is sure to be a meat-tastic day.

Glasses of different kinds of wine

Trying to understand everything about wine all at once is an impossible endeavor. Wine is a beautifully complicated, ever-changing quiddity, and even the most decorated and prestigious wine experts in the world often find themselves confounded by its constant little surprises.
That isn't to say that, if you care to, you shouldn't become educated on the subject of wine. It's a hobby and a passion that's tremendously fun to pursue, and there's much to learn on the matter.
If you find yourself in the beginning stages of your wine education, just as in everything, you'll want to start with the basics. It's possible that up until now, you haven't put much thought into the several different kinds of wine there are, except for, say, red and white. But while there are obviously exceptions within every hard and fast rule, for the most part, wine can be broken down into roughly nine categories. Here we'll take a minute to break those categories down, explain what they mean, which wines fall into them, and, our favorite - how to drink those wines.

Butterfly Falls in Love with the Flower.

Step inside the restaurant Chef Guo, and the first thing you'll be greeted with is a majestic model of a ginko tree, the national tree of China, complete with brightly colored golden leaves. The tree cascades over the dining room, a space filled with Chinese calligraphy on the walls and regal Indonesian Zi Tan rosewood chairs. Soft and pleasant Chinese instrumental music plays in the background, an oasis in an otherwise hectic Midtown Manhattan.
