Slow'n Low, That is the Tempo


Like the Beastie Boy's say "Slow and Low", is how proper BBQ is done. 

Nobody knows this better than our newest account in Seal Beach,  Beachwood BBQ.

 Gabe slangs' the best BBQ in town, accompanied by bitchin sides and incredible beer to boot, it is a must stop when you are in Seal Beach.   

Blue Oyster Cult

Shiitake Happens has it's first trial run of Blue Oyster Mushrooms, also called hiratake or shimeji. It 's a small satiny, silvery blue-capped mushroom with a white stem. It is a solid flavourful oyster strain, that generally tastes sweetly shrimp-like. They hold their shape and springiness when briefly cooked. They will be available in the next few weeks.

"More cowbell!"

When Fungus Ruled the World

My friend sent me this article from Wired magazine, it's about 20 foot fungus called Prototaxites that once upon a time ruled Earth. Crazy!

Thanks Felony Ron for the link.

The Med


I dropped off some freshly picked white oyster mushrooms to Mediterraneo on Wednesday and before I could get out the door John sent a few plates of food my way. The three dishes he knocked out blew my socks off, boy oh boy can that kid cook. Amber and Johnny handle some top notch cuisine, so swing on by ask ask about their mushroom specials.
