At the third annual Eat Drink Blog conference this year, blogger Tammi Jonas and chef Simon Bryant ran a panel discussion on local and seasonal food which quickly became a discussion of food ethics. Controversially, both agreed that they would not refuse a meal served to them by their host, even if it clashed with their principles. I want to briefly examine the line of argument that says if someone serves you up a platter of something you can’t stomach or have an objection to, it is more disrespectful not to eat it than to eat it. Please note I mean no disrespect to either Tammi Jonas or Simon Bryant. The decisions they choose to make regarding food are up to them.]]> http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2012/11/the-kindest-thing-you-can-do-is-eat-it/feed/ 22 http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2012/08/smallbarcrawl-the-york-street-hub-sydney-cbd/ http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2012/08/smallbarcrawl-the-york-street-hub-sydney-cbd/#comments Fri, 17 Aug 2012 08:03:06 +0000 http://www.corridorkitchen.com/?p=4142 The idea of a small bar crawl has been brewing for a while, but it really came to be after a conversation with some food bloggers at a dinner I was at a few months ago. The conversation went sort of like this: Me: “Ok, well what about a bar crawl, hashtag small bar crawl.” Other food bloggers: “Yes/yeah/ok/great/I’m in!” And so it was that finally, on Monday August 6th a group of 8 food bloggers and drinkers assembled to crawl the bars of York St. Below is a sampling of the bars we crawled, with a bonus bar thrown in for good measure - 5 bars in total. Thanks to the bloggers of Sydney Feed Me, Love Swah, CookSuck, Alanabread and I Can't Believe it's not a Food blog, as well as the two non-blogger chums who shall not be named (unless they want to be) for making my #smallbarcrawl dreams a reality.]]> http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2012/08/smallbarcrawl-the-york-street-hub-sydney-cbd/feed/ 8 http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2012/04/on-community/ http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2012/04/on-community/#comments Thu, 26 Apr 2012 21:00:41 +0000 http://www.corridorkitchen.com/?p=3427 In a time when it’s commonly assumed we’re all living nutso, hectic, increasingly isolated lives, with the breakdown of family values, declining influence of religion, lack of moral fibre and increasing technologification (not a word) of daily life, I find this quite heartening. So I thought I’d take a break from writing about food and coffee today and turn instead to the food blogging community.]]> http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2012/04/on-community/feed/ 36 http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2012/03/elote-asado-grilled-corn-cobs/ http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2012/03/elote-asado-grilled-corn-cobs/#comments Fri, 23 Mar 2012 07:33:30 +0000 http://www.corridorkitchen.com/?p=3237 ]]> http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2012/03/elote-asado-grilled-corn-cobs/feed/ 8
