I’ve got Hamburger Eyes!

The Hamburger Eyes crew put out the illest lil’ photography magazine the world has ever seen. Since the first issue of 30 xeroxed pamphlets was printed in San Diego 2002, Hamburger Eyes has become a staple for underground photographers combining the documentary approach of National Geographic with the hit-’em-hard sensibility of a late-night tagger. Pick up their hot new book, “Inside Burgerworld” available at the awesome Buy Olympia.

Do Tell: Kasey Fleisher, Eating/SF

If food is sustenance for the stomach and music is good for the soul then Kasey Fleisher’s blog Eating/SF is the bees knees. For each dish cooked up and reviewed, you get delicious recipes paired with great music. For instance, Al Green–The Greatest Hits (1975) is the perfect pairing for this Saffron Risotto w/ Tarragon and Shrimp recipe. “You can almost hear this decadent bowl of risotto sing, Here I am, come and take me.” Eating/SF is a brilliant concept that combines my two favorite things, eating and music. Founder and resident chef Kasey dishes on her two favorite things at the moment:

  1. Foodzie: it’s like Etsy for food and all about local. LOVE the idea
  2. Yelle: French pop stars are cooler.
