The Greatest Food Culture Site Ever*
2011 was a banner year for Foodiggity. For one, we finally monetized the site. And since we haven’t changed our stance on how we feel about banner ads, i.e., we hate them, The Foodiggity Shop seemed like a logical choice, and launched in August.
We’d also like to think that with another year under our belt, Foodiggity has finally become a reliable source for the best food-related nonsense on the internet. So without further ado, The best and sometimes worst Foodiggity of 2011. See you in ’12.
You had me at ‘Voo’. Inspired by an actual tasty treat by Voodoo Doughnuts in Oregon, Rogue’s Voodoo Doughnut Bacon Maple Ale sounds like a good idea — in theory. But this could very easily be less than the sum of its parts, i.e., gross. I have yet to find this in my area, but will report back as soon as the pink bottle is spotted and tested.

Joël Penkman is a fine artist and graphic designer that we’ve featured here before on Food Art Friday. Seen in some of her latest work, the signature style remains — food item on stark gray background, and good enough to encourage paint-eating.
Oh, how far we have come as beer people — especially here in the US. So it only makes sense that while brewers continue to increase the quality of their beer, that they would start paying more attention to the aesthetics of their brand.
Oh Beautiful Beer thinks so, and showcases the best graphic design from around the brewery world. From the best in beer advertising and apparel, to the best looking tap handles, Oh Beautiful Beer finds the finest eye candy to go with your brew.
Who says you have to eat those fifty-cent noodles out of a cheap styrofoam cup? With the Lacquered Cup Noodle Bowls, you’d actually still be eating out of styrofoam, but they’re lacquered to create the illusion that you’re eating in style.
Commissioned by the Yokohama-based Cup Noodles Museum [you read that correctly], artists upcycled the original environment-hating Cup Noodle cups, into reusable dishware.
