Before we dive into the whiskey barrel and swim to safety, let's raise our glasses to the week that was.

Slashfood's barista pulled a hearty cappucino, the head sommelier uncorked some serious steals, our badass bartender ran afoul of the law, the brewski boys swilled Seattle and got hoppin' happy about a new Colorado IPA while our head blogger was caught in the crossfire of some cinematic Beer Wars.

We showed off our can-do attitude toward food preservation and gentleman farmers, then got snappy about food photo settings and crabby with 1970s-style dip and lingering customers until the Skinny Chef got us to chill out with summer soups and rooibos tea.

Julia Child's editor weighed in on her famous client's online Mini-Me, folks raised a kerfuffle over sodium levels, salmonella, felonious franks, free pastry and secret spices but really -- we just wanted to focus on our tacos.

Speaking of -- let's raise a toast to our dearly departed spokeschihuahua. Say perhaps, in Summit, N.J.? All-weekend-ish?
