To own a truly authentic bar T-shirt you should have a connection to the place or a great adventure story about it. “Back in ’96 when we did a spontaneous trip to Nantucket…” But at the end of the day, a cool T is still a cool T whether you bought it at the bar or not. This is where Dive Bar Shirt Club comes in.

So much has been reported about the controversies of mass-produced, corn-fed beef (read The Omnivore’s Dilemma by Michael Pollan or watch the documentary Food Inc.) that boutique butcheries specializing in all-organic, grassfed cattle have grown in popularity. Grassfed beef is widely praised for its health benefits (most are higher in healthful Omega 3s than conventional beef), its food safety standards, its lack of contaminants and its minimal environmental impact.
White Oak Pastures, a company based in Bluffton, Georgia, delivers delicious, hormone-free, grass-fed steaks, roasts, short ribs, and ground beef by mail. The company’s plant manager has a master’s degree in meat science, White Oak’s cattle roam free on private land and the company has made it to the top of an extremely competitive market – its beef can now be found in some Whole Foods stores. Order the meat by the pound or give a grassfed gift basket.
For those with more adventurous tastes, visit Anshu’s Exotic Meat Market and peruse their list of unusual sausages (alligator, anyone?), unique birds, black bear, elk, kobe beef, venison patties, boneless python meat and other choices that are bound to stoke a creative cook’s fires while also providing curious dinner table conversation.

Unlike television shows viewed on the flat screen, TV Guide doesn’t cater to online broadcasts, resulting in a programming black hole. Clicker.com, a new, free web site which charts where your favorite shows can be found online, solves that problem. Clicker scans more than 1,200 sources and maintains an index of about 7,000 shows. Once you find the show you want, you can view it directly through Clicker or through the show’s original network page, which the site will take you to automatically.
