Last Friday, the Silent Stage Gallery released the all new “Vanity Fair” print set by Kansas City artist Scribe. This release consists of two prints that feature mock Vanity Fair images with Scribe’s debonair characters in full Steampunk attire. They look pretty sick, don’t they!?!
The “Vanity Fair” print set by Scribe is currently available for sale at Silent Stage Gallery’s online store under their “Collectibles” section. Each print in this set measures 8”x10” and was printed on 300gsm museum quality paper. Only 25 signed and numbered “Vanity Fair” print sets were created, and each set retails for $75. The Blot’s got a feeling these prints won’t last long, so if you’re a Scribe fan and want to add these prints to your collection you’d better act fast!
On tonight’s episode of No Reservations, Tony heads to Harbin in China’s northeastern “Dongbei” area in the cold of winter - a season that defines the character of the Dongbei people and the nature of their cuisine. First up, Tony meets with his new friend Alan Wang to discuss the region, before heading into the ice-cold streets to eat pork belly and pork meatballs with local workers.
Tony then heads for the train station for a trip to Yabuli, a work in progress winter sports resort outside Harbin in the Changbai Mountain Range. Then it's back to the city to meet up with Dmitry, a Russian friend of Alan’s from nearby Vladivostok. The two have a meal of Russian fare at Around the World Russian restaurant and consume a mass amount of vodka. The next morning, Tony heads out for some ice fishing, which is not something I’d want to partake in after a long night of binge drinking!
To wrap up his visit to Harbin, Tony eats a big banquet meal at Lao Liu Sha Zhu Cai, which literally means “kill pig cuisine”. It is a reference to the Lunar New Year tradition of slaughtering a pig for the big holiday feast, and Sha Zhu Cai is the collective name for all the dishes that can be part of that feast, pig and otherwise. I don’t know about you, but this sounds like a pretty intense episode, and definitely not one to miss!
Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations airs Monday nights at 10/9c on the Travel Channel.
