Jonathan posts on Food in Mouth
GUEST POST Today we have an epic guest post for all the readers of Food in Mouth. Jonathan who blogs at Hungry in Milwaukee went to Next Restaurant with his wife Grace and has an epic account of the meal. Many of you probably know all about Next Restaurant, but for those who need a refresher, it's a new restaurant by Grant Achatz and Nick Kononas. They previously partnered on Alinea, which you can read about here (also from Jonathan). The restaurant features a focus on foods from different historical periods. Right now it's 1906 Paris, France. They also have a slick new ticketing system instead of a reservation system. Secondary markets for their tickets have already been seen on Craigslist. So both in food and price discrimination terms, Next Restaurant seems to be paving the way. The Executive Chef is Dave Beran, so let's...

Midtown posts on Food in Mouth
When I was in high school and the first few years of college, the dominant instant messaging system in the U.S. was called AIM, which stood for AOL Instant Messenger. If you have no goddamn clue what AOL means, I hate you. Stop being so hip. But one of the features of AIM was that it was an extension off of regular AOL because the chat feature was actually what was most popular about it. Anyway, AIM had this thing where you could post a tiny text 'profile' or whatever you want like quotes or whatever. And I would always think I was this great emo (before emo was a word, even though now it's not anymore) shit and wrote my own un-pithy quotes about life. As a thirty-something now, the only un-pithy thing that I really want to write on my 'profile', which is...

Doughnuts posts on Food in Mouth
I can't figure out how to break down the taste of a donut as it relates to life. Is the satisfaction received due to the doughnut being delicious enough and therefore I enjoy it? What about the intrinsic value of a doughnut? If the doughnut is the jumpshot, then the doughnut maker is either Ray Allen or Reggie Miller? We know the skill can be acquired because no one is born with the holy grail of donut recipes engraved in their grey matter. Even if you suck balls at making fried dough, if you practiced hard enough, you could be the JKidd of doughnut making (for non-NBA fans, JKidd used to be a terrible shooter, but after 17 years in the NBA, he's now the third on all-time list of most 3-pointers made). Are we born knowing what is a tasty doughnut? Is that trained...
