Edge of Belgravia Knives

Everyone loves fly looking cutlery, especially when it can be hung on the wall like a fine art piece to showcase ones fondness for their kitchen and all that it creates. Families that pass on recipes from generation to generation often also pass on heirloom like kitchen equipment because sometimes an old classic just out performs the latest greatest invention. 

Edge of Belgravia’s craftsmanship and bold eye for contemporary styling result in exceptionally well made knives that can and will endure the tests of time in the kitchen or workplace. With materials ranging from ceramic to Damascus steel these bold colored collections “fuse modern hues with maximum cutting efficiency” as they proudly put it, a statement we couldn’t agree more on.

End of Summer Refreshment Recipes

I don't know about where you live, but where we are located these last few weeks of nothing but incredibly hot days and annoyingly hot nights have begun to take their toll on our abilities to withstand wanting an ice cold libation. Ok who are we lying too, we just were looking for a reason too try out some new recipes and with the last few days of Summer sitting before us and it being so hot as of late, how many more reasons do we truly need to do some out of the box drinking, I mean thinking.

As always enjoy these recipes, RESPONSIBLY.

Food Tattoos On The Move

Wednesday had us out and about in the greatest Farmers Market that exists, the original LA Brea Farmers Market on Fairfax, where because of the intense heat (which in LA is nothing in comparison to what you will find in the Inland Empire) we had to make a quick pit stop at our favorite ice cream spot, Bennetts. Struck up a quick convo with a young employee who had a fresh Ice Cream Cone tatted on his arm (much better than the one that adorns Gucci Mane’s or his two stupid fans who copied him faces) and for that he deserved some love on the site.

Should you ever be in the area make sure to stop by and either try the Lemon Sorbet or an authentic Root Beer Float, either way you can’t lose.

National Rum Day Recipes courtesy of Captain Morgan

It comes as no secret that we are lovers of Rum here at The Supreme Plate. So much so that when our favorite holiday, “National Rum Day” rolls around we shut down and have ourselves a much needed party. Seeing as how that great day happens to occur on a Friday this year, we figured lets get to putting up some recipes in advance so everyone and their mama can have a chance to enjoy the greatest liquor to have ever been created, Rum. The good folks over at Owl’s Brew created a few incredible recipes for Captain Morgan and sent them our way, so in turn we place them in front of you.

Remember with everyone running around yelling “Turn Up” take a moment and relax with some good friends and enjoy your libations responsibly, just because you want to look like a fool doesn't mean the rest of us should have to suffer for it.

Happy National Rum Day!!

Raekwons "Only Built For Cuban Linx..." aka "The Purple Tape" Turns 18

1995 was a wild year. The Atlanta Braves, San Francisco 49ers, Houston Rockets & New Jersey Devils were the crown holders for the year in pro sports while the UCLA Bruins were the NCAA Basketball champions. Johnny Cochran dropped the infamous phrase “if it doesn’t fit, you must acquit” during the O.J.Simpson murder trial and Timothy McVeigh & Terry Nichols blew up the Oklahoma Federal building killing 168 innocent men, women & children. One of Eminems favorite topics, Christopher Reeves took that fatal leap on his horse leaving him paralyzed, Jerry Garcia from the iconic rock & roll group Grateful Dead passed away from heart failure & Tejano pop star Selena was shot & killed by the former president of her fan club. “Here Comes The Hotsepper” by Ini Kamoze, “Creep” by TLC, “Kiss From A Rose” by Seal, ‘You Are Not Alone” by Michael Jackson, “Gangsta’s Paradise” By Coolio & LV & “Fantasy” by Mariah Carey may have been controlling the major radio stations, but one man from a clan of dope emcees was Cheffing up his first solo release that would forever change the landscape of Rap Music & Hip Hop. 

Shallah Raekwon aka Raekwon The Chef aka the list goes on forever dropped what was arguably the best solo release from any of the members of the Wu Tang Clan on this very day in 1995. From the intro on the album to the closing serenade, this masterpiece was put together like a movie in the way it played out. Rae & Ghost telling each other from jump they weren’t gonna be drug dealers for the rest of their days, mixed with some of the illest wordplay from the likes of Wu Tangs own version of EPMD of wild samples taken from John Woo’s “The Killer” movie, this album was designed to do exactly what it did, take the rap game by storm and f*ck sh!t up. The geniuses over at Get On Down have released an “18^th Anniversary Slipcase Edition” featuring a fly purple cover with Raekwons logo on the front and the original tape contained inside. Check it out and order it here: Get On Down

To those out there in the world who fondly remember the first time they heard the material contained on that Purple Tape, I salute you and say Enjoy.
