1000 Beers
Gear Patrol offers an overview of the best Gluten Free beers. I just went to the Harvester pub and sampled a few of these and bought Josh the IPA No. 2. So perhaps some tasting notes from us will be coming soon*. *Soon is a very relative term.
Best Of Beer and Cheese 2013
Hot Knives
There are just a handful of days left in 2013. Where’d it all go? And how much time did we spend swilling in bars — not a god damn ‘nuff. We recently took a trip down memory lane, thinking of the best beer and cheeses we had this year. We are not immune to listacles. […]
YACHT’S TOFU SCRAMBLE SECRETS
Hot Knives
Chances are you have one dish you’ve made more than any other. A dish you can make without consulting a recipe. A dish that you make better than 99% of other people who might try. (What’s yours? Tell us in the comments…) YACHT frontman Jona Bechtolt is a scramblin’ man. By which we mean his […]
Wine is Rad
Captain's Log
after a long hiatus from blogging, I am back for a bit! I would like to bring everyone’s attention to new projects I have been working on (in the place of taking time to write about wine) I have started a wine tasting group known as Cluster Fuck, all are welcome to attend, we meet […]
Our Oktoberfest Thunderdome
Hot Knives
Feats of strength. Five gallons of sauerkraut. And a bubbling cauldron of Limburger. All of it made this past weekend’s second-ever “Over the Top Oktoberfest,” a brutal orgy of salt, yeast and ale that lived up to its name. For one night, Eagle Rock Brewery’s tank room was totally transformed into a sweaty Bavarian beer […]
Best Food Blog? Vote Yes!
Hot Knives
The two of us are excited and grateful to be nominated by our local rag LA Weekly in their Annual Web Awards. Hot Knives is up for Best Food Blog! Let’s take a minute to remember 2013 so far… We researched the “perfect vegan mac n’ cheese” and then we created it (we heard lotsa […]
How to Party This Summer
Hot Knives
This weekend we got to mouth off on the radio about everything from how to grill the perfect corn to cooking for girls to making pickle power bars for hiking to how to throw a “pizza pool party.” Yes, we’re touring the party tip circuit, so we took all our prized advice from “Lust For […]
How to Smoke Your Pesto
Hot Knives
We have done lots of things to pesto. We’ve made it with sage and winter spicing. We’ve made it with illicit herbs. We’ve made it with recycled vegetable fiber. But this is one for the Bookmark tab: Hickory-smoked pesto. We were strolling the Santa Monica farmers market last week when we got assaulted by the […]
The End of the Beer Cave
Hot Knives
It’s almost 2 am in the beer cave. Last call. The cave is closing. (One of them anyway.) These are the last three bottles left, and by the time we finish writing this, well, and then there were two. It all goes back to one Saturday afternoon in 2007. We biked 40 miles with a […]
Cherry Bomb
Hot Knives
At a recent semi-clandestine beer-drinking party, a great deal of heft was dealt in the direction of remembering. As you now come to expect, your fave Knives wax water-eyed about drunken memory with great consistency (like, all the time). After all, sense and its lasting sensations generate the most inspirational data we cull to craft […]
