The Martini Chronicles Pt.15: The Graham Greene

Ever since cleaning up some of my posts on here, I've been thinking about my Martini Chronicles and whether I should add yet another update. For those who aren't familiar with what they are: I used to not know the littlest thing about Martinis, until one day I decided to

Open Club Sandwich

There is this place in Vienna called "Oben", which basically means "at the top". It actually is at the top of a building, namely the main building of the Viennese libraries. It's a great place to hang out both during the day and at night and

Brined pork belly

To everyone who knows me a bit, the revelation that I'm partial to pork roasts will be no revelation at all. But, I adhere to a kind of roast that's unusual for Austria (or Germany, for that matter). I like my roast mostly with caraway, salt and garlic, massaged in

The demise of the add-on service

A few days ago users of Mailbox and Carousel, two very different services, saw e-mails in their inbox telling them about the impending sunsetting of said services. Mailbox was a rather innovative approach to e-mail inboxes, allowing people to do fun stuff like deferring mails and having them return to

DBMA 2012: Cheesy Spatzle in the mountains

Death by Martini was on vacation, and this is what it brought, part 1: Cheesy Spaetzle. Now, you may not be familiar with this specialty from Germany, Austria and, I think, Switzerland, but it’s something you might want to try. These eggy things, sometimes in the form of miniature

DBMA: Londontown

For those of you new to this publishing outlet, there is a category which I have dubbed DBMA, Death by Martini Abroad. It’s my attempt at creating the impression that my life does not evolve around the same square kilometer here in Vienna (it actually does). So, here we

Food at the Corner Restaurant

Before I go on about my latest foray into delicious restaurant cuisine, I must admit that even though announced in my latest blogpost, I didn’t make it to the Biocamp. Sickness (which somewhat still has its grip on me) had me reschedule from tasting all sorts of fantastic organic

DBMA: At Carnaby Burger

Being the cosmopolitan man about town that I am, I went to London to check out a few places to eat. That’s not entirely true, and by “not entirely true” I mean not true at all, but at this very juncture of this very post, I will take the

Turkeys gone wild

I’m sorry for misleading you. This article is in fact not about turkeys gone wild – whatever that might have looked like in your dirty, dirty mind – but rather about turkeys that spent quite some time in an oven till crispy, crunchy and juicy. It’s about the Christmas Turkey!

Of Sausages

I am, as you might have noticed, quite partial to meaty business. Like pork roast. Or ham. Or sausages.This weekend I managed to get my hands and mouth on quite an Austrian delicacy. Sausages in different variants, roasted slowly inside an old stove, until all crispy and crunchy. There

Stockholm, a tale of food and peril

So after more than two years of absence, I returned to Stockholm last weekend to visit my sister, her husband and two unruly but fantastic little Swedish kids. Contrary to my usual ways of taking at least 5000 photos, bugging everyone and their grandma to death, I actually took but

Augustin in Vienna - Eat well, lounge well

While I am very much into cooking my own food, going out and enjoying what others have cooked up for my consumption is something I’m very fond of as well. Of course, it does cost the equivalent of money, so if you don’t have any, home cooking might

Roast pork - if you don't like it, you're not human

I am what you might call a big fan of roast pork. I am such a big fan that I regularly eat and make roast pork. I’m such a big fan, that I usually eat so much of it until I’m ready to burst (or puke, actually, but

DBMA: Feeding Tourists - Part III

DBMA: Feeding Tourists - Part I

When on vacation, people do two things: nothing and eating. I had actually planned on writing a lengthy essay on the merits and the downsides of being at a place that specializes in feeding these hungry hoards, but after a few paragraphs I came to the conclusion that it would

DBMA (Death by Martini Abroad): At Douwe Egberts Koffie Cafe

Now, before I start venturing into the culinary delights of the Netherlands, and after having written about how good they are at importing stuff, I’m going to post a little disclaimer here. First off, the Netherlands are not a place with a rich unique cuisine. To be precise, there

Poached eggs - the horror continues. Or does it?

Even despite the horrors of stringy poached eggs haunting me in my dreams, I decided to give it another shot. After finding this recipe on FoodBuzz, where the difficulty of the poaching of the egg wasn’t even mentioned in a single sentence, I knew that only confronting my fear
