Cool Hunting
We've been fans of June's conserves and other specialties for seven years. We finally got around to visiting her Berkeley, CA Still Room, where we shot an upcoming episode of Cool Hunting Video. It was then that she dropped the bomb on us: she's started to make ketchup. And just like her jam isn't just jam, her ketchup isn't just ketchup.
Made from Early Girl tomatoes, which are organically grown and dry-farmed, her version starts sweet. Then your tongue is treated to a spicy finish and a strong but not overpowering blend of secret herbs and spices.
At $15 a bottle this is not your everyday ketchup, but like her conserves they bring a lot of love and an incredible purity to your table.
For those who cook, she also makes a Tomato paste.
Available online from June Taylor and at these retailers (not all stores carry all items).

On a recent trip to New Orleans, I had the mouth-watering pleasure of grabbing an early lunch at Cochon Butcher, the meat shop and wine bar opened in January by Cochon chef Donald Link and partner-chefs Stephen Stryjewski and Warren Stephens. Located in the still-burgeoning Warehouse District—home to hotels, galleries and museums—Cochon Butcher makes for an ideal snack stop while exploring the neighborhood's hotspots. Though...
Normally bakeries aren't run by two guys formerly in the advertising industry, but Baked isn't a normal bake shop either. The Brooklyn dessert destination houses cakes like "Sweet & Salty!" and "Oopsy Daisy," "Monster" cookies and giant marshmallows, leaving us thinking guys should bake more often. While we'd love to bask in the glory of these rich, delicious desserts everyday, it's likely best they're...

by Laura Neilson While popcorn will forever be the habitual accompaniment to movie screenings and ballpark outings, 479°'s brand new line of exotic-flavored organic popcons promises to induce a far more transportive experience. The aptly-titled "Globetrotter" sampler offers five wildly flavorful versions of the crunchy snack, including "Chipotle Caramel & Almonds," "Madras Curry & Cashews" and "Ginger Sesame Caramel." Founded in September 2008 by Jean...
Supplying a dizzying array of gustatory delights, from honeys and preserves to oils and vinegars, the California-based Katz and Company has a culinary history stretching back over thirty years. Katz's Late Harvest Zinfandel AgroDolce Vinegar is a delightfully sweet and sour elixir, as the term AgroDolce will suggest. Made from 100% North Coast Zinfandel, the vinegar is characterized both by a jammy finish and...
