Eddie Lin doesn’t call his dining high-end or low-end, but rather deep-end, which is a statement to the unusual cuisines he seeks out. He looks for ‘extreme-cuisine’. This video, which was a segment on ABC7, describes his philosophy. Not for the squeamish! Keep watching until the end, where Eddie talks about the weirdest thing he’s ever eaten, which definitely made my stomach churn.
I’m happy to be able to share this video, which I think perfectly encapsulates the Six Taste spirit. Allie and Georgia developed a series of there videos that quickly became a YouTube hit. Shortly after the McNuggetini video below was placed online, the charismatic duo was featured in the Huffington Post and the NYTimes. Now there are talks of the girls getting their own show on the Food Network.
This video encompasses style, fun, food adventure, entertainment, and an IT factor that cannot quite be described. Here at Six Taste, we’ve discussed several times in developing a video series similar to what is shown below. I find the video endlessly entertaining and it really shows how fun food can be.
Now, if only we could find two charismatic, camera friendly hosts…
Tim Ferriss, author of the 4-hour week and leading the lifestyle design movement, is a pretty awesome guy. Alex and I both love his book, and if you haven’t checked it out, I highly suggest you get a copy of his book. His blog is pretty popular and occassionally he posts about food. I actually knew this trick already before Tim Ferriss blogged about it, but it’s a nice little tip for those egg lovers out there.
On a tangent, I just realized how many eggs I consume on a weekly basis. I’m already genetically inclined to have high cholestoral, but I still consume around 6-8 eggs a week. It’s deliciously unhealthy, but let’s be honest…eggs might be the best thing ever. I just realized that the only two videos I’ve posted on this site are egg related.
My girlfriend tells me I have an egg shaped head too.
Yesterday, Alex and I met our friends Will, David, and Candice from Artemis Clover Photo. After a thrilling game of mini-golf, we ate at Kabuki Restaurant for a sushi dinner
Hole-In-One on the 18th Hole!
We got a variety of rolls, and I was enjoying the conversation so much that I didn’t really get a chance to take pictures. The ikura sushi was pretty standard…nothing to rave about.

However, the garlic roll is an interesting point of discussion. A really unique mix of flavors, and definitely a flavor profile different from traditional Japanese food. There was a hint of mint in this roll, and the garlic chip added an intense flavor that sat at the top of your palate. Unfortunately, it wasn’t a good thing. The garlic overpowered the sushi. My first bite wasn’t that bad, and I thought it was interesting…but the second bite was just not that great.
I used to be the kind of sushi eater in which I most enjoyed the ones that strayed away from traditional Japanese flavors, but I’ve learned to love the kind that simply showcases the fish through simple, clean flavors…even the Tuna sushi had too many frills on it for me to truly enjoy.
During our dinner, our friend Will mentioned a YouTube video that I thought would be great to showcase here. If you haven’t seen this yet, you’re in for a treat.
If you’re like most of the population in the world - You probably cook scrambled eggs in some form of the following way: Crack one or two eggs, add some salt, beat them with some milk for added fluffiness. Then melt some butter in a frying pan, pour in the eggs and scramble your eggs! Then I saw this video by Gordon Ramsay and tried making his version of scrambled eggs.
SO GOOD. It’s probably in part to the enormous amount of butter put in the eggs, but its a whole new textural experience. It’s a completely different sensation in your mouth, and cooking in Gordon Ramsay’s way really accentuates the taste of the egg. You have to try this method!
