Posted by: | CommentsPhotoshop geek? Oops sorry enthusiast we mean? Foodie or food lover? If so you must see this. Shared from our friend Liza, aka @skeeterNYC, she is one of our favorite foodie filmmakers and the host of Food Curated. This is a brilliant video made in “stopmotion” for the competition AdobeYouGC featuring butter cookies with the new “Adobe Photoshop Cook!”
Unfortunately, or fortunately, the program is not real, but could you imagine the online culinary world if it was? The video is a creation from the very talented artist Maya Rota Klein.

Savory Dill Monkey Bread
Posted by: | CommentsChef Chris Pandel: At the ripe old age of 29, he has quite the impressive CV. He’s worked under Rick Tramonto and Daniel Boulud, and is now the executive chef and co-owner of The Bristol, a Bucktown Chicago hotspot. The Bristol serves local seasonally inspired rotating chalkboard menu items, but also has a standing menu of mainstays, one of which is his notoriously famous Monkey Bread. This is not the retro sticky sweet version made with biscuits from a can, but an amazing savory alternative served with a dill butter dipping sauce. Chicago diners can’t stop raving about it. Check out what these Yelpers have to say:
- Samantha: “I tried the monkey bread for the first time on this visit as well, and it was top notch”
- Sandy: “the table was in love with the famous monkey bread”
- Lindsey: “We started off the meal with the monkey bread, it was golden and delicious and the dill butter was amazing!”
- Cassie: “We started with the monkey bread and I’m glad we did – yum!”
- Ed: “the monkey bread was my favorite..it was so soft and warm”
- Brian: “The monkey bread with the dill butter was amazing.”
- Brett: “I don’t imagine ever finding myself tiring of that amazingly toasty, slightly salty and totally comforting monkey bread”
