Give the New York Times a Pork Pulitzer

By MIKE HESS

As the Grey Lady finds itself deeper in financial turmoil, it pleased me to no end to see them still putting resources into building dynamite interactive experiences. Consider this animated diagram of a Alabama barbeque expert’s impending trip to New York City for the Big Apple Barbecue … complete with cartoon pork butts, rotating smoker grills and more. Pakistan, shmakistan — this is what should win them a Pulitzer. This online version of the graphic is far superior to the one in print… which is why in 6 months we’re probably going to have to pay for online newpaper content like this, so enjoy and embrace it while you can.

    About Me

    Oysters. Bone Marrow. Spanish hams. Fish tacos. Shanghai soup dumplings. Sea urchin. Summer tomatoes still warm from the sun. There, my favorite foods are out of the way. To cut to the chase, food is in my genes. My father, grandfather and great grandfather were butchers. I've cooked for fun and pay since I can remember, helping out at my dad's catering company/butcher shop and eventually the catering wing of Zagat's highest-rated restaurant in the country (you've never heard of it). Why am I not a chef or caterer? I'm just too much of a pansy. I didn't want the hours/heat/instability to ruin my love for cooking, so now it's pure recreation. Since ditching the chef idea, I've written for many major news networks and magazines, spanning everything from a blood-soaked Marine invasion into Fallujah to Britney Spears' underwear (lack of, actually) to properly sourcing pork. I hope to share the deliciousness of life with you. Also, pancakes suck.
