Botanica Bakery Blows my Mind

Every once in a while a store-bought cookie comes along that is so yummy that I must eat an entire bag.  Tate’s Chocolate Chip is one such cookie. Botanica Bakery‘s Fennel Pollen is another. WTF?

Bling in Your Cereal

When my bud Nathaniel told me he was casting Cheerio’s in 18k gold, I was not surprised.  This comes from a man with a history of blinged out junk food collaborations.  Last year he had a gallery show comprised of oversized photos of Swedish fish.  But I was surprised when I woke up in the [...]

Best No-Gear Dessert

Moving never goes 100% smoothly, but The Dish’s Dish arrived in Malibu on Thursday September 24 (having packed up the office two days before) and still hasn’t been visited by the moving truck!
