2009: What’s in Your Fridge Friday?
New Year’s Day is the perfect day to look back on 2009 through your fridges.
Every Friday on Relish Austin, I post a photo of a fridge from someone in Central Texas or who has Texas ties. The What’s in Your Fridge Friday feature will turn two this summer, but in the past 12 months, I’ve featured chefs, writers, Statesman readers, bloggers, musicians, radio DJs, winemakers and area business owners, who have all been brave enough to open their refrigerator doors and photograph its contents.
(I’m always accepting entries from anyone in Central Texas, and all you have to do is e-mail me a photograph of your fridge and I’ll respond with questions about your food habits and preferences.)
So, here’s a look back at some of the most memorable fridges of the past year. I look forward to seeing what 2010’s fridges bring to the table!
Cleanest fridge: La Condesa chef Rene Ortiz’s fridge was so clean, it tipped off several of his chef friends to tattle on him that he must have cleaned it just for the shoot. (I have a feeling many of the fridges get a little spiffing up before their owners photograph them.)
Fridge with the weirdest contents: No Show Ponies’ rehearsal fridge, which features a DVD set of Twin Peaks, a spear and a photo of Morrissey
Most Austin-y fridge: Jenna Noel, associate publisher of Edible Austin magazine, walks the local food walk with her fridge, which, with the exception of maybe some sparkling water, contains entirely Texas-made products.
Most enviable fridge: Greek Tragedy blogger Stephanie Klein, who as a major food nerd has a giant food stuffed to the brim with good food.
Booziest fridge: Reader Valerie Davis, who e-mailed me her fridge after we ran this story about Central Texas fridges in August. Four, count them, four, shelves full of beer.
Emptiest fridge: An anonymous Statesman reader sent me a photo of a totally empty fridge, but Fino chef Jason Donoho’s fridge comes a close second.
P.S. That’s my fridge up above, just days before Christmas when both my parents and my mother-in-law were staying in our house.
