Original TV Foodies: Yan Can Cook
It’s very likely Martin Yan could be the sole source of my lifelong obsession with Asian food (furthered more recently hanging with my friend Jeff). Back when I first started watching Yan Can Cook, he was one of only a handful of Master Chefs on the planet. Dazzling knife skills combined with an equally dazzling ability to julienne the English language made the show a true gem. His newer series are a bit more subduded but do a great job showcasing his vast knowledge rather than stage presence.

Rex Ray
Caught a doc on artist/designer Rex Ray on PBS last night (produced by a Denverite so might have been local-only). Interesting story mostly for his practical approach to making and selling art. His hybrid fine art/graphic design style is just as at home in galleries as it is on take home work to be sold in gallery gift shops. Smart. Aired on the last day of his solo show at the MCA Denver.
Off the Hanger: Gump
Really solid styling in this movie. Re-watch just for the consistent look Forrest keeps from leg brace days to telling bench stories. Also reminded me of the amount of CG work that was added to the film (looks dated now) but I think blazed the trail of thinking for its integration into all genres.
Shirt
Hat – RW&B Seed cap, thrift it.
Pants
Butt Pack
Paddle & Ball – Pips in, always pips in. Seems especially on trend now.
Nylon Cortez – Not traditional, but there’s just something good about nylon sneaks.
Socks

Original TV Foodies: Urban Peasant
Back in the day before Food Network, there were a handful of TV foodie personalities that really laid a solid foundation for my interest in cooking (and years working in kitchens, but that is another story). On the top of that list is James Barber of Urban Peasant fame. James always threw together an odd mix of ingredients that somehow transpired into sort of a luxury hobo meal. And without fail, managed to pour at least one beer into the mix just for good measure.

Off the Hanger: Bike to the Film Fest
Heads or Tails {Trailer} from Mad Phil Media on Vimeo.
“Rise” Trailer from Costa Sunglasses on Vimeo.
Couple of selections from the upcoming Film Tour I’ll be hitting up next week in Fort Collins. Very Warren Miller in fishing form (I could stand to hear a little less metal in the soundtracks) but overall, really nice filmmaking from consistently talented folks.
Shirt – Wrangler
Cardigan – Land’s End (into cotton lately, easier than dry cleaning wool for baby puke)
Belt – 1 3/4″ Sole Survivor
Vest – Patagonia Sling Shot (gray only availble in JP, blue/green still available here) Patagonia is always a big supporter of all these fishing film endeavors.
Pants – Woodland BDUs
Gloves – PMI Rope Gloves (crazy good logo)
Shoes – Nike Lava Dome (a serious cult classic to me)
Pack – North Face Korean
Bike – Bianchi Roger Single Speed Cyclocross (not sure why they stopped making these, seems spot-on)

Spring fever with Riveria Clothing
Yes it’s still January. I can’t help it, already have spring fever. Maybe it’s the fact the mountains haven’t had great snow but more likely the upcoming road trip to Sayulita, Mexico. It’s got me thinking about sun, warmth, surfboards and easy shirts. Riveria Clothing looks to fit the bill, some nice details it seems – of course these type of lookbook pictures kind of kill me, but what can you do.
And that red check shirt? With those Wranglers?

Elkhorn Fly Rods & Reels
Local company based in Loveland, CO putting out some solid classic designs and affordable modern rods and reels. Great lineup including my new favorite rod setup, the 7 piece travel (no checking required on the plane so when your luggage is sent to Aruba you can at least still fish).
