The Seed by Cody Chesnutt Because this is the catchiest, nastiest song from The Headphone Masterpiece.

Treasure hunter by Les Chatfield (Elsie esq.) This past year I was given one of the strangest gifts I’ve received in quite some time, and the the more I think about it the more it makes me smile.

Mark Bittman because he’s the one I’d like to actually prepare my food Tom Colicchio because he knows Padma.
