Food Fights: The Biggest Culinary Scandals Of 2011

A flat white is a popular coffee drink common to Australia and New Zealand. It is an espresso-based drink in which volumized milk is blended to create a creamy fluff out of the milk that forms on the top, this is then folded in to the less-volumized milk at the bottom of the pitcher, making for a velvety consistency. The mixture is then poured into the espresso. It sounds like a dreamy cloud of caffeinated heaven. Flat white creators do not stop at the mere mixing of the drink, the true artists continue on to birth creative works of genius. Using a wide-mouthed, curved mug, the milk is poured directly through the espresso so that it pierces the creme. The process begins in the middle and continues outward, towards the edge. The technique involves moving the wrist from side to side while also manipulating to the opposite side of the cup. While following the above steps, the cup can be moved in such a way that a design or shape is formed. This procedure sounds rather complex, but the end result is quite stunning. I have never seen a flat white listed at any of our local cafes but I am going to poke around to see if I can find one, if I do I'll be sure to post a picture.

They do it in the ceramic cups and paper to-go cups as well. And the walls are all covered in photos of individual barristas' signature artwork many of which are quite astounding. Hearts and flowers are quite common. A maned lion is one of the photos that I can picture as I sit here in Los Angeles wishing we had a local Artisiano.

Australia and New Zealand both have strong coffee and café cultures, and I believe it's been spurred by a large, relatively recent Italian immigration. I haven't been to Seattle, and it may be the exception, but I haven't seen anything like it in the U.S. Starbucks is fine -- it is what it is -- but it doesn't come close to the cafés Down Under. In North America, Québec's café culture probably comes closest.

Espresso Vivace, Victrola, and most of the baristas at Lighthouse, Icon Coffee, Fresh Flours, Cafe Besalu, El Diablo (devil-shaped rosettas from one), and countless other smaller shops consider it part of their routine. I think Caffe Ladro does it most of the time too, but I haven't been there for a while.
