@onemoreryan (One More Ryan) sure can rumple up when it comes to cooking. Just check out these tweets he shared over the past week on Twitter.
Brined bird, then chili-lime butter under skin and all over. White wine. Halfway through cook time added corn/zucchini/squash.
Thick-cut pork chop with homemade barbecue sauce, sauteed green beans, corn, cherry tomato, quinoa.
Do you think you can rumple up too? Send your meals and photos, or tweet them to SpoCool and you (or your resturant) might be next week’s food inspiration.
Well, what do you know, the Inland Empire does have a chapter of HASH. I was excited to find a HASH group represented in our neck of the woods. I came across it while researching the meeting spot for a HASH club in Sudan for some friends who are traveling in the region. The motto of the Inland Empire HASH group: “A drinking club, with a running problem.”
If you aren’t familiar with HASH groups, you should know they are represented all over the world. Typically a group of ex-pats meet in a specific location and ventures (runs, hikes, etc.) for a set amount of time or kilometers, then stop at a local watering hole or a person’s home to drink and socialize. These groups typically attract individuals looking to have fun through exercise while networking with others who are living and working abroad.
The HASH HOUSE HARRIERS is a social club of runners that have been described as “a drinking club with a running problem.” Ex-pat British businessmen, accountants, lawyers, civil servants, etc., started the HASH in 1938 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It is a club based on the old English game of hares and hounds where one or two members would be given several minutes head start and would drop shredded paper as the “scent”. The HASH has grown from those humble beginnings to include thousands of chapters and tens of thousands of hashers worldwide.

We’re all about the iPhone here at SFB, and what better way to show our love than launching an iPhone web app for Taste Everything Once? While only a test version so far—in other words, the step before beta—it’s fully functioning, and includes two features thus far:
Find Near-By Restaurants: Click this, and you will get a list of all restaurants within approximately one mile radius of you.
Browse Alphabetical List: Simply all the restaurants in the database, listed alphabetically.
Click a restaurant in the list, and a small info screen with the ratings for the spot will come up. Click the phone number to dial it and click the address to map it in the “Maps” app.
You can view the app in Safari on your iPhone, but it’s probably easier to add it as an application for your Home Screen. Just go to the link above, and follow these simple steps:
This way it’ll open as an app as opposed to in Safari.
As this is a “test” version, there are some bugs, and plenty of features are upcoming, Like:
I’m feeling lucky! Will show a positively reviewed restaurant close to you by random.
Twitter! Full #spoeats integration.
Local food blogs! All the latest happenings within the application.
... and more. In fact, if you have any iPhone TEO requests, post them in the comments.
For now, though, go visit and add it to your Home Screen!
Chipotle doesn’t just want to feed its customers "? it wants to educate them, too. The fast-casual food chain has teamed up with Magnolia Pictures, Participant Media, and River Road Entertainment to promote Food, Inc., a documentary that exposes issues with the food industry in America. Beginning today, Chipotle Mexican Grill will host free screenings of the film. In addition, the eatery will advertise Food, Inc. with printed material in its 800-plus stores and prepare a bonus feature about sustainable agriculture to be included in the DVD when it is released later this year.
“Chipotle is a great example of a company that’s on the right track to improving our food system,” director Robert Kenner said. “Chipotle’s philosophy shares many of the same values expressed in Food, Inc., and we are very pleased with their support of our film.” The Mexican food chain claims to use more naturally raised poultry and pork than any other restaurant worldwide. It also sources ingredients locally whenever possible and buys 35 percent of its beans from organic producers. This promotion is a smart strategy: if Chipotle’s devotees weren’t aware of the company’s sustainable practices yet, they will be now.
Did you know Chipotle was so dedicated to sustainability? Will you attend a free Food, Inc. screening?
Spokane Food Blog follow-up question: Anybody have any ideas if we’re getting this movie in Spokane at any point, private screenings aside?
