We were tipped off to this sake by a reader, who claims to have done a double take when he saw it at a sushi restaurant in Sacramento. Since we haven't heard of Graham Elliot making a sake (and believe me, if Graham Elliot does anything, everyone hears about it) this "g-joy" brand sake must be an unfortunate coincidence. The name "g-joy" is almost too good to be true - Caitlin has g-joy every time she thinks about eating at Graham Elliot! If Elliot hasn't already trademarked/patented/copyrighted his signature lowercase "g" he should get shaking - otherwise copycats will start popping up everywhere! What else could we put that g on? more ›

According to a statement that the CEO gave to the Seattle Weekly, this marks Starbucks' diversification - now they can sell whatever they want, which apparently they couldn't while their logo mentioned coffee. We can see the confusion: a patron walks into a Starbucks, sees a breakfast sandwich and freaks out, screaming for coffee and only coffee. Never again. more ›

Now you can see more than 100 works (prints, posters, photos, and videos) from artists, designers, and the Obama ‘08 campaign at Officially Unofficial - Inspired Art for Obama,” opening April 1 at the Chicago Tourism Center. more ›
