Unexplained Bacon
As of today, I’m writing a new biweekly column for Culinate called Unexplained Bacon. The gist of the column is that each week I explore some kind of culinary mystery, with the caveat that I’ve been given a special scepter that can dub anything a “mystery”. So, the first case I’ve taken on is: What are the most rewarding foods to buy online?
If you have anything to say about this turn of events, please leave a comment on the column itself over at Culinate.
The next installment will investigate whether a certain Seattle-based chain is good or evil. There will be a graph.
So if you catch me posting here less often, it’s because I’m working on this column. Or because Iris and I are playing Mario Kart 64. Definitely one of those.

I think I catch your drift, but just in case, you better not be meanin’ Costco!

I’m sure you have no control over this, but the RSS feed for Unexplained Bacon sucks — all I get in it is what is presumably the summary: “Peasant food goes digital.”
I understand if they want to drive traffic to the site, but maybe some more verbose summaries would be helpful in driving people to read the articles.
I mean other people — I’m always going to click through so I can stare hypnotically at your GIANT FACE.

Hey Liza,
Thanks for the feedback on the RSS feed for culinate. It’s something we’ve been planning to do, and it was actually just migrated to the site, which should now show a somewhat longer excerpt of the article than the summary that we were showing previously.
We may additionally decide to provide a full feed of the articles in the future; not an entirely simple choice, as some can be fairly long.

I’m feeling abandoned already :-(

Neil, whenever you feel alone in the world, just gaze upon my giant face.
