Ever wondered what Amanda does all day? She breaks it all down in a two-part Culture Diary for the Paris Review -- the blogs, the Twitter-ers, the news, the viral videos, the music she consumes over the course of three days (A glimpse: Kanye West is one of the story's tags).
Read the full diary, Part I here and be sure to check back for the second installment.

UPDATE: Read Part II here: more news, tears, an ex-boyfriend, and a burdensome to-do list (sample entry: “Look up foodie episode of South Park”)
On Black & Highly Flavored, co-hosts Derek Kirk and Tamara Celeste shine a light on the need-to-know movers and shakers of our food & beverage industry.

This was fun to read - I wasn't to hear more about food and cooking!

I would have but it was just supposed to be things I watched and read. I once did a food diary for New York Magazine. Here it is! http://bit.ly/Zv61Y

It's complicated kitchen sends me, before it was remodeled. Same with her shop in the movie, just like joan's on third. Modern love column is so fantastic, I've read it three times. Sell the TV trays on this site, I'll get a few too. The magazine is one I'll buy a lifetime subscription for. Hard copy is still my favorite. Make the print big, though : )

So glad you also liked that Modern Love column. And the minute I find perfect TV tables, you will hear from me. We're thrilled you (and others) like the mag idea!

Loved the Paris Review and Modern Love columns. And love the idea of a food52 magazine even more. Seriously, we must find a way to launch a magazine!! : )

Yes, a MAGAZINE, not an e-zine! I'm old, and even though I don't know how I managed to live the first 50 years of my life without a computer, I am comforted by books and magazines in my hands, on my coffeetable, on my nightstand. (I wonder how many of us subscribe to Cook's Illustrated--the magazine AND the web site.) Did you catch that we are described as "passionate"?

Love the diary! Got sucked down the rabbit hole this morning checking out all the links - my fave: Don Draper Says What? Speaking of what...a food52 mag? Yes, please!
