The Business (Cards) of Food

This is a project that’s been about a decade in the making. Inspired initially by my college roommate, and subsequently VMac and Cheese, I finally decided to put  a select segment of my business card collection on display:

The restaurants featured are:

• Gordon Ramsay at the London
• The Little Door
• Spago
• Fig
• The Bazaar at SLS
• Hinoki and the Bird
• Melisse
• Mozza
• Gjelina
• Sasabune
• Alma
• Chego
• Providence
• ink
• Animal

These are the business cards from some of our favorite meals in Los Angeles. Singularly, Urasawa is featured as it’s the best individual meal experience I’ve ever enjoyed:

Finally putting those pack-rat skills to good use, I suppose. Tim, a shout out to you my Brooklynite Brother. Told you we’d finally get it done.

Beautiful Fig Appetizer

This one is simple, and speaks for itself. It’s fig season (my fave), so I wanted to come up with a creative appetizer that showcases the fig as well as some other burgeoning ingredients from Magnolia Gardens.

Ingredients

• fig, sliced
• papalo or other aromatic herb with big leaf (aesthetic)
• basil flowers
• manchego
• pine nuts, toasted
• agave nectar
• serrano chiles, sliced
