Real food. That's what this blog is about. So why "surreal", you ask? Let's call it a wry commentary on how far removed we are from the reality of our food -- where it comes from, how it's grown/raised/harvested, what it truly looks like and tastes like -- so far removed that real food is no longer real, it's surreal to us like a bizarre disorienting acid trip.
But I'm not that clever. I'm stuck with "surreal" because every variation of "real food" that I could think of is already claimed by a blog. And yet... Maybe the "surreal food" concept I outlined above really has something to it. Maybe it'll take off in a hip viral kind of way. Maybe I'll be the next Julie Powell. Maybe not. That's definitely not why I'm here. I'm here to eat food.
So let's begin.

The best food is made from the best ingredients. So many people have no idea what they're putting in their mouths. In my opinion, for most it's only when they begin to cook from scratch that an appreciation for the texture, taste, and freshness begins.
