Thanks for the recs, Jill! I wasn’t even aware you were a fan of the blog :]

Joon and Prime – no problem! Let’s keep a good thing going. I am now on a quest to find the one pork shoulder to rule them all.

Thanks so much for the shoutout and the awesome comments — I hope all is well with you. I see you are in deep, meditative preparation for your BBQ trip that will I’m sure rival the journey of Frodo and Sam on their quest through the lands of Mordor. I think if they were instead on an epic task to cook pork products in the fires of Mount Doom, it would have been way more rad than throwing a ring in there.

Great blog reccomedations!

I, too, am in New York now, but recently lived in both San Francisco (5 years) and London (1 year). My blog covers some of those territories, but also has what I call personal essays about food, which seems to fit similarly with what The Eaten Path covers.

See in particular a recent series I did called “The Year of the Cucumber” (http://jilleduffy.blogspot.com/2009/09/year-of-cucumber-part-i.html).

Two others that I love:
Lemonpi – an inventive baker from Australia with gorgeous photos: http://blog.lemonpi.net
Madrid Lab – Adam Melonas’ blog for his experiments and exploration of food: http://www.madridlab.net/melonas

Hey James,

Thanks for the shout-out! I have to repay the compliment: yours is one of the few blogs I follow with any amount of regularity. I agree with Wasabi Prime’s sentiment that I can’t read your blog when I’m hungry because, well, I’m not a masochist (unless the price is right). The topics are novel, the photos well-composed, and the articles themselves pieces that are equal parts literary and culinary, with dashes of philosophy and social commentary for added flavor.

I also agree with your observation that I don’t post nearly enough. Unfortunately, there are two very precise mathematical relations that govern my blogging behavior:

Wine + law school = disaster
Law school loans – wine = no money for basic expenses

(Perhaps you might have seen that this equals “law school loans – no money for basic expenses + law school = disaster” which… makes sense…? But mathematical rigor has never been my forte.)

I’m looking forward to the BBQ festival this weekend!

Joon S.
