In the revolving door of product offerings that is provided by the local organic grocery, Guru had an unfortunately short lived stay. This quickly was becoming my go-to hangover cure, a little shot of energy...
Sweet Riot is a chocolate company based out of NYC. Founder Sarah Endline is doing more than just selling chocolate, a tour through their site shows how much thought has been put into their product, including the social and environmental issues surrounding the production.

This company delivers fresh milk directly to your door anywhere in Manhattan (no word on if additional boroughs are to come). Nice bottle and graphic. Unfortunately they had to add a kind of ridiculous “green friendly” sticker. I prefer to have why something is better for me explained (which they do), than labeled. Sorry to pick on you manhattan milk, but “green friendly” doesn’t mean anything. Luckily the other stuff they’re doing does...
Rick’s picks is one of my favorite brands as of late. I like the packaging, the attitude and the story to get to where they are at. Interesting to find some sort of collaboration with Martha Stewart, at least there is a recipe up on her website. He’s won several awards…
Phat Beets were named Outstanding Appetizer, Antipasto, Salsa or Dip at the 2007 Fancy...
One of my favorite designers, Michael Young has recently completed a glass bottle for the Portugues olive oil brand Herdiros Passanha. I have no idea of the quality of the oil, but the company does have some history. The brand dates back to 1749. The bottle is part of the relaunch of this historical olive oil company...

Maybe a t-shirt that is shaped like a hamburger won't make your life look extraordinary, but it's a nice outside look at fast-food culture.
Yam Cart
I like to think this is an example of doing everything right. I took this in a fairly residential neighborhood outside of Tokyo at around 6 PM. People were getting off of work and on their way home to likely prepare a meal or pick something up for their families. Along comes this gentleman driving a truck with a wood fired oven in the back.
Tsukiji Market
One of the most impressive markets I've ever seen. Tsukiji gets rolling every morning around 6 AM. This is where virtually all of the fish that is served in Tokyo comes. The sites and sounds are incredible, auctioning of fish, motorized carts buzzing around carrying shipments from the vendors to shipping.
