Earth-Friendly Cupcones; Food Party Picked up by IFC



If you're the sort of green-thinking cook who inwardly kvetches every time you toss out a paper cupcake wrapper or piece of plastic wrap, this is the video for you. In it, former StyleList blogger turned culinary vlogger Brigitte Dale dons a flowery apron to create "cupcones" -- cupcakes in cones, minus the "trash" of the wrapper -- with a sort of wide-eyed, pixielike zen: "If you know me, you know that I love cupcakes, and I love the Earth."

One part full-color, one part black-and-white film, this is notable both for its star's posturing and the sharp, cinematic edits. Randomly, it reminded us to click on over to check on a far more nutty food video star -- Thu Tran, whose "Food Party," we learned, has just been picked up by IFC. Congrats to Tran and her team of crazy bandits on the Willy Wonkian, Peewee's Playhousian show. The madness starts June 9.

Grub Street finds the Pee Wee's Playhouse of cooking shows



My poor feed reader has been a bit neglected over the past few days, and, after finding this gem on Grub Street, I'm sad that I didn't catch up sooner. If I had looked at those feeds sooner, I would have found Food Party a few days earlier, and brought some much appreciated laughter into my life.

Food Party is a cooking show/artsy spoof on a cooking show created by New York artist Thu Tran. Episode three is the funniest thing I've seen in forever, and I mean laugh-out loud-every-two-seconds funny. From the donut tree to the fresh eggs, to illustrating the seven deadly sins through deviled quail eggs to the devil, this is definitely the most creative cooking show you'll ever see.

You won't see this one on Food Network, folks. However, you can apparently get them on DVD.
