RRK = Rock & Roll Kitties

Meet Julio and Ramona, RRK's house kitties. They are both Maine Coon cats, and though they look almost identical, they are from different families/litters born 8 years apart! JB has made it his job lately to make sure the kitties get just as much yummy food as the humans at RRK. Just look at how happy they are!

Oh Snap!

Last week at RRK, we got down and dirty on some pizza. It was crazy yum, looked great, and totally satisfied an intense craving I had for beets and goat cheese. Behold: the roasted beet, brussel sprout, butternut flatbread with arugula pesto, shaved red onion, and goat cheese. The best part? I made this all by myself! However, I did have some help from JB and my good friend Megan when it came time to eat and enjoy. These beautiful, local ingredients were exactly what I needed to get grounded after a crazy week at work, an exhausting, action-packed weekend, and what I can only describe as "New Moon Freakouts". This dish was yummy and the leftovers happened to present themselves in the loving shape above. Score! The soundtrack was U2's Achtung Baby, a classic that still rocks pretty hard in 2012. Here's a video for my favorite jam on that record to inspire your pizza making!

Welcome

Rock & Roll Kitchen is a real place. Founded in Wakefield RI, RRK was created by JB and Emmy. JB is a SF trained chef with an attitude toward food that is kind of insane. Fond of dishes that may cause some to cringe, he's got a way of making even the craziest shit look, smell, and taste like nothing you've ever imagined. Visit him at his blog, The New Urban Peasant. Emmy is not a chef, but she loves to eat and take pictures of cats. Born out of a desire to cook food that tastes like actual food, RRK's mission is to use ingredients that are fresh, local, seasonal, and perhaps a bit unusual. Sometimes vegan, sometimes over the top decadent, and always inspired, the dishes you'll see here are bound to make your mouth water and give you a mental erection. And each meal has a killer soundtrack! Grab a beer, crank the tunes, and come cook with RRK!
