I‘ve never been to Vermont, but if I go, I know exactly where I’m headed: The Ben & Jerry’s factory in Waterbury. Why? To cross the Ben & Jerry’s Flavour Graveyard off my bucket list of course! Surrounded by a white picket fence on a grassy knoll, lie the headstones of especially beloved flavours or…

Now You can Eat Gucci Too

Every now and again, I like to look in on the happenings of the fashion industry– especially when it comes to Gucci. It’s one of the few major luxury fashion brands today that wants to tell a good story through design (they’ve even let me write some content for them in the past). But today it’s…

London has a Subterranean Veggie Farm in an Abandoned WWII Bunker

We’re all trying to switch to local produce these days and for Londoners, it doesn’t get much more local than the 2½ acre farm growing fresh veggies right under their feet. Growing leafy greens and herbs without any natural light 100 feet below the streets of central London in an abandoned air raid shelter is…

Fancy Junk Food prepared by Chef Jacques La Merde

Introducing the esteemed Chef Jacques La Merde, he’s basically full of merde, sort of like all those pretentious foodists. So he has an instagram account where he plates junk food as if he were competing on Top Chef. It’s pretty hilarious … not to mention, strangely appetising?! “Pogos with Marble Cheeze slices, Honey Ham Rosettes, Spongebob Squarepants Zoodles…

Each one is conveniently tagged with the patisserie where he found it and a…
