Shared: thanks a lot, robot friend

A new Flickr Favorite by squacco.

His moto is "never drink alone" and he will pour you a drink and talk to you when you push the button in his middle. Unfortunately he only speaks Japanese, but you can’t have everything.

on account of the fact that my japanese beer-pouring robot friend is a beer-pouring friend rather than a coke-pouring friend, i thought i’d share a can of beer with him. I probably won’t do it ever again, though.

Shared: Benton Family Cure

Benton Family Cure by Jennifer Davick:

Allan Benton is the god of bacon and slow cured hams.

Since 1973, he has operated from a modest, green-painted cinderblock building just off Highway 411 in Madisonville, Tennessee. It’s a little spit of a town in the eastern part of the state backdropped by the Smoky Mountains.

Allan has gained nationwide fame among chefs and foodies. His bacon, ham and prosciutto are sacred and used in the kitchens of Thomas Keller, David Chang, and Sean Brock to name a few.
