He Likes Him! He Really Likes Him!

I'm a shameless fan of Anthony Bourdain and his show No Reservations . He seems to be inviting writers on his show this season. Chuck Palahniuk I can understand, since he did a kind of travel guide , but Jerry Stahl ? Does he eat? Not really sure how I feel about that yet, but I definitely love it when he rags on the Food Network . Though he likes our local show, Ace of Cakes : THAT ACE OF CAKES GUY: Hey...He's got talent! And..he seems to be a trained chef! And he's really making food--and selling it in a real business! I think...I like it! If I have one reservation, it's that I have no idea if the stuff actually TASTES good. Duff made us one to celebrate one of the store's Anniversaries: It was delicious. Serious. ( via lhb )

Blast From The Past

An old customer sent us this photo of his first ever internet purchase, which was for an Atomic Books tshirt, back in the day. This year will be the 15th Anniversary of Atomic Books. It's our 6th Anniversary here on the Avenue this Spring. Watch for more info about the celebration! And thank you all for keeping us around.
