Evan & Alex of Hot Knives

…the sophisticated-but-street cooking & blogging (vegetarian) foodies Evan George and Alex Brown – whom I met when they presented a provocative pickling workshop in one of the geodesic tents pitched at the MAK Center’s Schindler House for the L.A. launch of The Sundown Salon Unfolding Archive – just sent out this message:

Friends and food-fiends,
In our endless pursuit of world wide web domination, the Hot Knives tech team we employ to make our monkey asses seem like sophisticated bloggers has crafted a beta version of a new Hot Knives Forum. To this we say “thank you, delicious, and fuck yes!!”
http://urbanhonking.com/hotknives/forum/
The goal: To get friends and readers to discuss cooking, recipes, beer, and food in a way that simply leaving simple on the Hot Knives blog can’t accommodate. Think our can-free hummus blows? Think we used too much oil? You can still playa-hate on the blog of course, but NOW you can expound on what would make it better or poll others for tips! After all many of you are cocktail legends, raw food wizards and eloquent o-piners in your own right.
Before we finish designing it, or launch this to the masses, we’d love you to test out its boundaries and start some discussion threads. We’ve begun with one crucial question: what is your favorite grilled cheese and why?

…and they describe themselves thusly:

We live in Los Angeles. We don’t cook with meat. And we like sharpening our knives about as much as we like: bicycling, performing harsh noise music, gardening, slugging whiskey, and muckraking. We believe in cheap groceries, cooking with high alcohol content beer and free leisure. We hate weak sauces.

…though their homespun beer and cheese activities are lost on me, since I don’t partake in either, I still really really appreciate it…check out their blog.
