Eat your dirt and enjoy it
Food trend alert: Edible ‘dirt’ has made its way on to menus – added to dishes to give them an ‘earthy’ feel. Article here.
Photos of Justin Bogle’s spring salad with mushroom ‘dirt’ found via Star Chefs
Illustrated ‘Food Mart’ renderings, circa 1962
Vintage architectural renderings of storefronts by an anonymous artist. These were found in a photo album.
It’s amazing how many of these appear to be prototypes for stores that did exist. Wonder what the story is behind them (one agency created facades for many major chains)??

The Super: Petrini’s, an old Lucky
I designed a postcard series in 1999 called, 20th Century Obsolete. It was about things unique to the 20th Century, things that no longer exist. They’re now available as notecards and prints. Snag your own here.
And,
In my opinion, Lucky today isn’t quite the Lucky it once was. (Read my next post, I’ll have it up by early evening)
Lucy in Disguise
Lily Allen and Sarah Owen‘s Lucy In Disguise London store opened this week. Click the image to jump to the (new) dramatic website.
Interesting that the website doesn’t show the actual location of the store. And it’s not an online store. But . . . here’s a map of London.
Tho if that doesn’t work, I’ve found an address of 10-13 King Street, Covent Garden. That may help.
Bauhaus ice cream
‘California-based architects Natasha Case and Freya Estreller recently set up Coolhaus as some sort of frozen snack homage to industry icons’
I guess if there can be a Bauhaus coffee, there can be Bauhaus ice cream.
Food truck-based ‘Coolhaus’ features ice cream sandwiches with names such as Frank Behry and Mies Vanilla Rohe. Check them out here.
Local in Los Angeles, Austin and (soon in) NYC/Hamptons.
