One mans' MVK = another mans' WTF.
My MVK? A refrigerator, a knife, and a cutting board.
A little background...
90% of what we eat = raw produce. So it's pretty straightforward. We just eat produce at home and an occasional hot meal out. Every meal at home is either fresh fruit or a salad. (I haven't eaten anything other than fruit before noon for 25 years.) We have lots of nuts & seeds, cereals, snacks, and many wonderful things in our fridge.
We eat out at restaurants several times per week and zero in on our favorites. (Living in Miami, we'll probably run out of fantastic options in about 30 years.) Most of the places we go serve food far better than what we could or would want to prepare and most definitely satisfy our "foodie" desires. Miami also offers many foods we would have never even dreamed about.
This was a nice post for beginning foodies (Thank you, Matt), but these days, MV<anythings> asymphtotically approach zero. In most places, you really can eat lots of delicious and healthy food without all that stuff.
(By the way, anyone need a stove, range, or microwave with 0 miles on them?)
- bhousel 14y agoThe guy did say that he's trying to cook his way through Keller's Ad Hoc at Home. So that will definitely define his MVK. Personally, I'm trying to cook my way through Weber's Big Book of Grilling. So I don't even need the kitchen, nyahh. To each his own, I guess.
- tptacek 14y agoIf you're eating out most nights except for the ones where you eat salad, you don't have a viable kitchen.
- edw519 14y agoSure I do. You don't need to cook food. We eat better than most people I know who do cook. Come on over the next time you're in Miami and we'll show you. :-)
- tptacek 14y agoIf that's your perspective, why even have a kitchen? You can put a fridge in any room. Replace one of your countertops with a stationary bicycle and add a power rack; call it an "eat-in gym". It's all love with this comment, you know. Come to Chicago sometime and we'll make you ceviche.
- infinite8s 14y agoCeviche doesn't require much more than a fridge and a knife too ;)
- elteto 14y agoWould you mind sharing some of your favorite places? There's lots of food places in Miami, but I find most of them to be rather heavy on the stomach :-)
- edw519 14y agoSure. We prefer healthy & delicious, so "heavy on the stomach" doesn't work. Close to midtown, off the top of my head: Morgan's, Michael's, Best Friends, Lost & Found, Uva, Books & Books Cafe. There's even lot's of cheap, light, tasty food at chains like Lime, Sakawa, Pasha's, Pollo Tropical, Pizza Rustica, Salad Creations, and of course, the buffet at Whole Foods.
