I can see a lighter beer being ideal for sushi, especially with the finer and more delicate fish. No need for a rich/tarry aftertaste lingering as you pop in some creamy uni.

went with the Som on this one. He seemed super excited about letting him pick, and damn it, he did a fantastic job. Three different Sakes plus some Champagne on the house. It was a culinary victory (and $300 a person) for gomestar. I've had uni ... but that was uni on another level.

There is an excellent sushi house nearby, and I often find myself craving their food. However, I went there by myself for lunch one day, and my bill barely exceeded $20. Is it in anyway rude to go to an upscale sushi house when the bill is probably going to be ~$20-30?

There is a cool youtube show called Working Class Foodies that I enjoy. It's not an information packed forum but still some good content.

Probably belongs on the restaurant recommendation thread but I have been consistently impressed with 15 East, expensive but very good.

I don't know any great blogs, but I think you'll find the food forums underwhelming. I have better luck here.

egullet used to be good, but thanks to incredibly bad management it has really deteriorated.

Does anyone know how to find a quality meat (particularly pork) supplier on the Central Coast of California? I'm spending a couple months in San Luis Obispo come June and, as far as I can tell, the area lacks a decent butcher. Most larger suppliers in the Bay Area require a massive minimum order to access their product. I'm wondering if there is a middle man who will sell primal cuts on an individual basis?

Maybe the pastry people have a hard time with the brioche b/c it's a 90% butter brioche. So it's probably harder to work with than a regular recipe.
I just made 36 baby brioche for a party tonight. Seemed pretty easy to me. Texture and taste are great.

I am making oat bread cockaigne from JOC and the recipe calls for soy flour along with the wheat and all purpose flours. What is the point of the soy flour, and how can i replace it?

A few ways. Either soak for a little bit in warm water, then push out the marrow and soak it in cold overnight and poach, or just crack the bone and roast the marrow in it. You can also use it for all sorts of preparations... bordelaise sauce etc.
