And everything you need/want to know about it.
So what exactly is Prime Rib?
‘To locate the prime rib, start by cutting your favorite cow neatly down the center from head to tail along the spine. Set aside one half for another use. Place your hand on its back and feel your way backwards along its vertebrae until you start feeling ribs. Count backwards to the sixth rib (this is called, appropriately enough “Rib #6”), and cut here.
Now continue counting back until you get to Rib #12 and cut again. Reserve the head section and the tail section for another use, saving just the ribs you just cut out. Now saw the ribs off at about 13 to 16-inches down their length and set aside the belly section. Take off the hide, and what you’re left with is the prime rib.’

“The c60 music player from IDEO’s Boston office. The team brought to life a concept from Martin Bone and Kara Johnson’s book, I Miss My Pencil, that brings physicality back to the experience of listening to music.”
Cool, sweet, very pretty. Via ideo.
J. Kenji Lopez-Alt at Serious Eats went the scientific route. From his post:
‘A few weeks back, I started an experiment designed to prove or disprove whether or not the magic, non-decomposing McDonald’s hamburgers that have been making their way around the internet are indeed worthy of disgust or even interest.’
The theories:
1. There is some kind of chemical preservative in the beef and/or bun and/or the wrapping.
2. The high salt level is preventing the burger from rotting.
3. The small size allows it to dehydrate fast enough.
4. There are no mold spores present on their storage conditions.
5. There is no air in their storage facilities.
Wanna bet on any?

And the dishes I remember best:
– Noho Star, New York. Apple eggs benedict. Google it, serious.
– Ramon Freixa, Madrid. Big duck. Duck hamburger with green mustard icecream and idiazabal cheese.
– Los Llanos, Albacete. The rice, all of it (and the fries). And the love.
– Per se, New York. All day braised salmon creek farm’s pork belly. Omg.
– Hotel 41, London. Breakfast. English breakfast.
