Food Court: Philosophical diary of eating out

478 entries
US only

Food Court is a philosophical diary of eating out. In this short essay, traditional and industrial dishes serve as a starting point for exploring the tension between authenticity and fast food — from Big Macs, pizzas and ramen to Starbucks, croissants and artisanal ice cream.

Its author — an engineer by training and a digital artist — retraces his culinary wanderings in Paris and beyond, revisiting the industrial flavors of his childhood and his experience working in digital food platforms. Through his stories, analyses, and 3D illustrations, he invites us to deconstruct the modern myths that fill our plates.

Food Court is food for thought for anyone interested in postmodern philosophy and the anthropology of food.

Commi Kitchen is not a cookbook, nor a food-porn fairy tale, and certainly not another celebrity-chef success story. This book rips the glamour off the food industry and exposes the grit, sacrifice, and relentless hustle behind every plate served. Join a gang of culinary mercenaries as they navigate life, weddings, and build a catering company in the ruthlessly shared Commissary Kitchen.

Dedicated to the invisible—the ones who grind through twelve-hour shifts to feed the daily hunger—Commi Kitchen drags the myth of the “rock-star chef” through the grease trap. It’s for those who show up broke, tired, hungover, and still put out fire plates because failure isn’t an option. Some cook for survival. Chef Brand is cooking to prove himself worthy of his life.

Based on a true story.

"Crocker's writing feels raw and unfiltered, like the kitchen itself, grimy, hot, alive." - Literary Titan

A moving culinary memoir about the relationship between food and family—sustenance and survival—from a chef, award-winning journalist, and daughter of a Holocaust survivor.When you’re raised by someone who once survived on potato peels and coffee grounds, you develop a pretty healthy respect for food.Bonny Reichert avoided everything to do with the Holocaust until she found herself, in midlife, suddenly typing those words into an article she was writing. The journalist had grown up hearing stories about her father’s near-starvation and ultimate survival in Auschwitz-Birkenau, but she never imagined she would be able to face this epic legacy head on. Then a chance encounter with a perfect bowl of borscht in Warsaw set Bonny on a journey to unearth her culinary lineage, and she began to dig for the roots of her food obsession, dish by dish. Tracing the defining moments of her life, from her colorful childhood in the restaurant business to the crumbling of her first marriage and the intensity of young motherhood, her decision to become a chef and that life-altering visit to Poland, the author recounts a tale of scarcity and plenty, stepping into the kitchen to connect her past to her future. Whether it's the flaky potato knishes and molasses porridge bread she learned to bake at her Baba Sarah’s elbow, the creamy vichyssoise she taught herself to cook in her tiny student apartment, or the brown butter eggs her father, now 93, still scrambles for her whenever she needs comfort, cuisine is both an anchor and an identity; a source of joy and a signifier of survival.How to Share an Egg is a journey of deep flavors and surprising contrasts. By turns sweet, salty, sour, and bitter, this is one woman's search to find her voice as a writer, chef, mother and daughter. Do the tiny dramas of her own life matter in comparison to everything her father has seen and done? This moving exploration of heritage, inheritance, and self-discovery sets out to find the answer.
