Fridgin’ Out: Liquor Cabinet Edition

by Payman Bahmani

Consider it a testament to Kayoko’s power of persuasion that I’m doing a Fridgin’ Out post. You wouldn’t otherwise know this, but for some time now I’ve been averse to the idea. The notion that strangers would open their refrigerators so other strangers can peer into them for no purpose beyond plain curiosity is a […]

Fridgin’ Out: Astoria, QNZ

by Tyson Kubota

Hey everyone, sorry it’s been so long since I last posted. Here’s my fridge door, replete with post-its, film schedules, receipts, etc. Our fridge isn’t as impressively stocked as Ricky’s from last week (also in Queens), but what can I say? I like to keep it understocked, at least with fresh stuff, because that way […]

Fridgin’ Out: A Japanese Fridge in Cupertino, Pt. I

by Kayoko Akabori

I swear, I’m bringing Fridgin’ Out back! Just spent the morning sifting through my parent’s fridge and boy, let me tell you that it was a pretty nasty affair.

by Hua Hsu

Here is a soundtrack while you snoop through my refrigerator: Hua’s Fridge muxtape (I am hooked on Muxtape. Here are more.) Fifteen pieces of flare are required to work in this kitchen. The photograph in the top left corner is of Araki Yasusada, who I met on a train many years ago. I do not […]

Notice, first and foremost, how SMALL Japanese fridges are (especially for people living in Tokyo, there is literally no space in our tiny apartments) compared […]

Fridgin’ Out: Gay People

by Moto Yamamoto

Editor’s Note: This post was conceived and written by Yamahomo in response to Fridgin’ Out: Married People. It’s an exclusive sneak peak into the fridge of Gay People. Enjoy! Yamahomo lives in West Chelsea, on Super Starchitect row (19th St). Cameron Diaz might buy one of the penthouses in my building. Lucky me. Although there […]

The Umami Reader, vol.034

by Kayoko Akabori

Some food for thought from this week: Sacrifice your razor to shave the face of a pig, all in the name of making your own headcheese. Such a fantastic video! (via Amy, Fat is Flavor) What you will find in the fridges of 4 food activists/ purveyors. Remember Fridgin’ Out? I promise I’ll bring that […]
