Foodiggity’s Best of The Year, 2012

December 27, 2012 by Chris Durso

Another year, another 365 days of the greatest food culture ever.* Besides a great year for our blog, the Foodiggity Shop saw some respectable growth — with traffic up around 75% from last year, going worldwide with the addition of international shipping, and the addition of a few new products to the lineup. So, thank you to all of our loyal fans and customers.

Without further ado, the reason why we’re here… Foodiggity’s Best of the Year. This time, divided into two categories — trends from the past year, and the obligatory “Best of,” with a clear standout for our most popular and successful post and product of the year. Please enjoy, and Happy New Year.

Tutti Frutti, A Fruit-Inspired Self Portrait Series by Cristina Otero

December 21, 2012 by Chris Durso

Tutti Frutti is a beautiful self portrait series by Spanish photographer Cristina Otero. Inspired by the colors, forms, and textures of various fruits — Otero then styles her makeup to mimic one fruit for each portrait, while adding effective contrast via hair color. Otero also manages, quite brilliantly, to give each fruit a personality with her own facial expressions.

A few other details that shouldn’t be overlooked while viewing the series… Otero uses a very modest Canon 1000D, while relying on nothing more than whatever light comes through a window — rather than studio lights. Oh, and did I mention that Otero is only sixteen? Well, she’s only sixteen. Please enjoy.

The Banana Car

December 20, 2012 by Chris Durso

Move over, Weinermobile… There’s a new phallic motor vehicle on the road — The Big Banana Car. Brought to us by The Dirty Brothers, Steve and Spade Braithwaite, the four-seater former pickup truck was designed and painted to look just like an oversized banana.

The Big Banana Car will hopefully go on a world tour soon, as the brothers are looking to take it on a ride around the world. Keep an eye peeled, as it might slip into your town. See it before it splits. Ok, I’m done.

Treasure Chest Barbecue Grill

December 20, 2012 by Chris Durso

When you’re done pillaging your supermarket’s meat section, and would then like to cook up your bounty — The Pirate Treasure Chest BBQ is here to help.

Brought to us by Etsy member firesculptureart, the fully-functional grill was created to look like an antique wooden treasure chest. It comes complete with a three burner grill chamber, and single burner “Hot slather” simmerin’ oven. So, go ahead and invite your mateys over for a little BBBQ. The extra ‘B’ is for booty.

Live long and prosper through the morning with Star Trek Pancakes. Brought to us by pancake zen-master Nathan Shields of Saipancakes, we’re treated to batter-renderings of the Star Trek cast, including the Spockcake, Kirkcake, and Sulucake — oh, my.

Now, pass the syrup and let’s get this geek breakfast going!
