We've all seen or heard about the "art" of nyotaimori before. And, just as well, we are all lucky enough to have never experienced it for ourselves...or are we? For those not up on your Japanese foodie vocab, nyotaimori is the practice (apparently) of serving sushi and sashimi on top of naked women. Thanks to Vanity Fair we can now all see what it is like to be that naked woman. I'll give you a preview: yes, it is that demeaning (at least until everybody around you is too drunk to notice how naked you are) but thankfully the time flies. I hadn't heard of anything this creative with food since FOTC's Yoko episode genius "If You're Into It".
And some amuses bouches...
-Stephen Starr coming to a Top Chef episode near you! And he is opening a "chef driven" restaurant cum Tom's or L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon in Philly.
-Do you love molecular gastronomy? So does the NYT! Twice! Flying spaghetti monsters included.
-Mark Bittman pulls a Jewish Bubbe and makes kasha varnishkes! Be sure to watch the video to the end.
