On this episode of Daily VICE, Pinello takes us to his Brooklyn restaurant Best Pizza to show us how to whip up a classic deep-dish pie inspired by the late Chicago pizza legend Burt Katz.

(Can’t believe how many times they said, “You can eat the box.” Baahahaha!)

Action Bronson With Food and Fun From The Festival In Jamaica (Video)
Well, well, if it isn’t ol’ Bam Bam at the Nyam Jam Festival in Jamaica. And what’s cooking chef? Whatever it is… We’re sure to say, “F#ck, That’s Delicious!”
As Action Bronson’s presence in the “Food World” becomes more permanent, new and diverse opportunities are popping up for the self proclaimed Human Highlight Reel. This time it popped up in the most beautiful location possible, Goldeneye Resort in Oracabessa, Jamaica. The event was entitled Nyam Jam, and even before Action knew exactly what it was, he agreed to attend. As stated in the video, there was not a single bad bite of food, and if you love hot sauces and various pepper spreads, then you really couldn’t do much better. Mr. Bronson honed in on a calabasa slaw prepared by visiting Puerto Rican chef, Jose Enrique and a smoked chicken sandwich from Jamaican grill master, Gariel Ferguson. His experience at Nyam Jam inspired him so much, that upon his arrival back in New York, he immediately got cow foot stew and ate in the parking lot of Home Depot. One love.

FullyRawKristina: “Eating Healthy During the Holidays” [Video]
The Holidays are upon us and a big component of most holidays is the feasting that takes place. Big meals second plates, leftovers that get snacked on throughout the day. With Black Friday going into Christmas a lot of shopping will take place people purchasing high end items. The fact is your health is something that is priceless and should be taken very serious. FullyRawKristina is a vegan who promotes health, fitness, and eating real foods. I enjoy her videos and social media where she gives healthy alternatives. Now I am not expecting everyone to turn full vegan for the holidays but you can take some tips to help you eat better. The fact is in the U.S. there are many more unhealthy choices than healthy ones. So Kristina is challenging you to just eat one fully raw meal a day. Worth giving a try recently I started juicing and eating one raw meal a day. I can feel the difference so watch her fun video and hopefully it helps inspire you to make some healthy choices this Hoilday season. Visit her site FullyRaw.com for more tips, recipes, and details!

How-To Eat Live Octopus (Video)
The people over at Munchies sent their correspondent Sydney Chun to a Seoul, Korea restaurant to report on the controversial practice of eating live octopus. Before watching the video I immediately recalled a previous incident of a South Korean woman eating cooked squid & she still became impregnated with 12 baby squid in her mouth. Doesn’t exactly look & sound appealing in addition to those type of risks, but every culture is different around the world. In the video above they have Head chef Kim Sang Jin show viewers the proper way to how to prepare the Octopus for human consumption. If you’re gonna eat Octopus you better pay careful attention, because getting impregnated in the mouth is the least of your worries. You could actually choke & die. Sheehz!

Action Bronson Has Dinner With Mike Ditka (Video)
Ay yooo! We got a hot F#ck, That’s Delicious episode on the Vice MUNCHIES channel. Hosted by, starring and following the exploits of chef-turned-rapper-turned-foodie-show-host (drum roll) Action Bronson. Good 30 minutes of content, but round about two-thirds through, when Hip-Hop celeb Bam-Bam Bronson sits down for dinner with the legendary former NFL coach Mike Ditka… in Chicago… he witness the levels to this celebrity *ish. He acquiesces that you are NOBODY when you are with Mike Ditka in Chi-town (translation: Ditka is a god in the Chi)!
Keep watching as Bronson and Riff Raff go get dogs the Chicago way, all the way, and the ladies want to SERVE them… um… all the way (wow, bold).
Then keep watching as Bronson shows you how to ride out on a gondola in Italy (hint: bring the right potnaz and rolling papers…and things will go alllll riiiight…).
Opinion: Neil deGrasse Tyson Responds To Uproar About His GMO Comments
Well, well. Looks like a lot more folks than me took issue with astrophysicist, Cosmos host and science celeb Neil deGrasse Tyson the other day (see my post here). Given such, Tyson responds to the controversy. Ha! Doesn’t he do that every other day? This time, he responds to the masses of people (pointing to myself) who took issue with some or all of what he said in his widely publicized and criticized “chill out” commentary on blanket opposition to GMO.
His response, in sum… was, ‘Yeah, what I said was right.’ BUT… the way he rebutted the rebuttals is why Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson continues to be one of my ‘you should really LISTEN to this’ guys. And while I must give a shout out to Raw Story (on whose posts I have based my posts here on; because they showed in my stream, even though I follow Dr. Tyson directly on Facebook)
… I am going for the raw feed from the Facebook post of the man himself. Your response to the world’s responses to your response, Dr. Tyson?
In life, be cautious of how broad is the brush with which you paint the views of those you don’t agree with.
Respectfully Submitted
Boom! Dr. Tyson has spoken. Now, let me speak.
You know, reflecting on my last post, it was the “chill out” part that prompted me to do the writeup. So, no issue remains there. And, though its content-lifting was done responsibly for the most part, I got my information second-hand when first-hand content was available. Other bloggers’ Facebook posts have so drowned out Tyson’s that I had to Google his direct response from his Facebook wall (which I should have done before anyway). This is part my striving to be a responsible blogger. Why does that matter? Maybe it doesn’t so much. But how does reading “Neil deGrasse Tyson: GMO producers ‘ought to be able to make as much money as they can’” make YOU want to respond? Yeah, me, too; and Tyson’s response wasn’t really all about that. So I smack my own forehead and admonish myself and all: Get your story from the teller’s mouth, people. That’s another lesson I re-learned.
That said. I’m STILL chill, and there are parts of the GMO push with which I do not agree. But I will keep in mind that my brush and strokes against the GMO work on display should be small and specific. In that, my response is, in sum… ‘Yeah, what I said was right’ (too).
Kudos, NDTyson. Respect due and given.
(Heh, heh… Just realized that Dr. Tyson considers a two-minute response brief. Imagine a casual convo with the brother. Gotta love intellectuals…)

Opinion: Neil deGrasse Tyson Says GMOs Are A-OK, Okay? (Video)
Cosmos host and all-around smart brother Neil deGrasse Tyson recently put the shut down commentary on all the fear-mongering around GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms) in our food.
“There are no wild, seedless watermelons. There’s no wild cows. There’s no long-stemmed roses growing in the wild (although we don’t eat roses)…We are creating and modifying the biology of the world to serve our needs. I don’t have a problem with that, because we’ve been doing that for tens of thousands of years. So chill out.â€
– Neil deGrasse Tyson
I’m chill. I just don’t totally agree. I’ve posted on this here. I know Monsanto is so big that we are probably consuming something GMO more often than we know and/or want. But does that mean I give in and give it the it’s-probably-okay thumbs up? Even if Dr. Tyson says so. No! Still American. Still got my sense and sensibility about things. When you go to the fruit and veggie stand on the side of the road, you see hand-picked food – blemishes, bugs and all. Not looking too tasty always; but hey, at least you know what’s up. Monsanto GMOs look real nice in the produce aisle mixed in with the natural/organic fruit and vegetables. Cool. But why is it so hard to get info that tells shoppers what is made from GMOs (esp. when other food producers have been stamping no-GMO on their products). Hmm? Now, if we just agree that it’s so pervasive that we cannot do anything large-scale about all this GMO/altered food now? I can go there. I’m shopping for my food, not growing it year-round. And I’m not rich. So, I have to purchase what is available.
I’m chill.
I respect and will read/listen to Dr. Tyson’s opinion; but remain skeptical. Skepticism does not engender hate. It is characteristic of critical thinkers and free-willed people who are okay with making up their own minds and letting others do the same. They also are able to reevaluate their positions as new information becomes available, if they choose to do so.
(Oh, about that rose thing. Ever smelled a rose from the flower shop? Not really a smell at all, right? Smell one off a homegrown bush. It’s not as pretty, and it will wilt quickly after plucking; but it will smell so sweet!)
