Squirrel meat. Who eats it? Hillbillies, Hmong, and now hipsters:
“Al rodente: Could squirrel meat come back into vogue?” Heather Smith, Grist
That’s right, squirrel. It’s not just for breakfast anymore.

The National Fire Protection Association claims “turkey fryers that use oil, as currently designed, are not suitable for acceptably safe use by even a well-informed and careful consumer.” Wimps! Thursday is Thanksgiving, when we give thanks for college football and a four-day weekend. That’s when Real American Men generate Code Orange air quality by incinerating poultry on the patio.
Any pantywaist can cook on those SUV-sized natural gas, propane, electric, or gelignite-powered barbecue grills with all those fancy features (good subwoofers can help spread sauce evenly, though). Nah, let’s get ready to deep-fry some turkey. Here’s how:

Fall driving season is here. That means admiring colorful foliage and colliding with frisky deer. The downside: the average car-deer collision auto repair bill is $3,171. On the other hand, you get a heap of fresh venison, for free.
You’re most likely to run into a deer in Wild and Wonderful West Virginia. Chances are 1 in 53, much better than the odds at West Virginia casinos. Compare the rates in your state here.

Cable TV’s Top Chef tour is parked at Capitol Hill’s Eastern Market this weekend, pitting Carla Hall, Ariane Duarte, and Spike Mendelsohn against each other. The real action is in the bus (above) where six prep chefs and three runners do the real work. On Saturday, two hundred people watched this spectacle, half of them standing in the hot sun. Amazing.

Food writer Mark Bittman is pitted against Lady Gaga over at Time Magazine. No it’s not about her meat dress. They’re both finalists in the Time Top 100 Poll.
The online poll aims to determine the 100 most influential people of 2011. Every home cook in the known universe has a spattered copy of Bittman’s How to Cook Everything, and if that’s not influential, we don’t know what is.
Vote for Mark here – http://ti.me/fgtvDm
Select “Yes,” enter the word code and click on “submit.”
Pass it on. Right now Mark is ranked below Michael Vick but above John Boehner.

Mark Bittman’s first Op Ed column appeared in Wednesday’s New York Times. The title: “A Food Manifesto for the Future.” Readers had a few questions, chiefly “Where are the recipes?” and “What are you doing?”
Mr. Bittman responded in a post on his new NYT blog: “What Am I Doing?” This should not be confused with his other blog, the one with the recipes. His recipes will also be appearing in the New York Times Magazine shortly.
