Meat Appre­ci­a­tion: A NYC Restau­rant Hon­ors the Whole Ani­mal from SkeeterNYC on Vimeo.

Shanna Paci­fico, a chef at a New York restau­rant called Back Forty, and her plan, using most of the animal’s meat instead of just the most expen­sive cuts, not let­ting any­thing go to waste.

“Magic Mush­rooms”, ordered.

What it’s like to be a butcher

Solid read from Esquire.

This looks promising.

The Rip Curl Pro Search is done for, and Mick Fan­ning won. Not before Super­tu­bos threw some of the gnarli­est waves on tour up to now, chew­ing up half a dozen boards and rup­tur­ing Owen Wright’s eardrum, who was on a roll until then. It also cleared the title race down to Mick and Joel, with Bede being the last man stand­ing. Joel needs to be two places up from Mick on the Pipe Mas­ters, so it’s not going to be a walk in the park for either.

xkcd’s Ran­dall Munroe homage to Geoc­i­ties, on the day it shut down. Accu­rate to the small­est details.

Do you secretly brag to your friends “I crushed Kelly’s 10^th title hopes”? Owen Wright, after nar­rowly defeat­ing Kelly Slater in Round 2 at the Rip Curl Search in Peniche and end­ing Slater’s (a bit far-​​fetched at the time) title race (photo via Rui Moura)

Heavy.

Greet the day with a smile and get it over with.

Steve Sherman’s pho­tos of the Mundaka (more like Sopelana) WCT event. There’s a feel­ing of “behind the scenes” in these I like a lot.
