Don’t miss the […]

Hot Knives Market Bag from Hot Knivez on Vimeo. We have an announcement to trumpet: We built a farmers market bag and it is nearing production! Why all the fanfare? This is hardly just some tote bag we slapped a logo on in a commercial act of branding. This bag is a game changer. (And […]

Independence Day approaches and hopefully you’ve already set out your pool floaties, your July 4th beer menu, and your favorite quotes from U.S. founders. If you’ve yet to decide on what you’re eating, we’ve got some ideas. Hit us up on Twitter with any SOS queries and we’ll try to hit you back. Our new […]

When Hot Knives partnered with our friends at Elf Cafe this spring for a late-night food window called “El Falafel,” we weren’t sure whether anyone would show up. You people must like falafel! Because after just three hours, we sold upwards of 100 sandwiches and we had to call it quits early. (To every sloshed […]

Last year, our friend Joel moved to Berlin. We expected him to quickly burrow into to the city’s party circuit and be appointed the American diplomat to Berlin’s hottest clubs. We did NOT expect him to become a line-cook at one. Lo and behold, our former roomie and ex-bandmate is slaving at the haute, German […]

And one substance above all others is the crack of snacks: Cool Ranch. Ranch is nasty. In a good way. […]

Some people, when they’re let down by the food all around them, they go on Yelp and moan about it. Why not get even? When we felt hunger pangs for a late-night falafel sandwich in our corner of Los Angeles – where no falafel exists – we reached for the fry oil. Our one-night restaurant […]

There are at least 400 ways to roast a chicken. Most of those recipes are great. I’m adding this one to the mix. It’s pretty standard and simple, and it works like a charm. This weekend, my father came to visit. He keeps kosher, and my kitchen is not kosher by orthodox standards. I decided […]

I’m obsessed with fruit and vegetable breads. Think: banana, zucchini, pumpkin, and so on. I’ve been wanting to try apple bread for awhile. On a recent Sunday, I found that the apples I purchased for this purpose were total crap. Instead, I noticed the two lovely pears I had also recently purchased. I decided to […]
