Behind the Scenes: Chef’s Knives and Eggplants
Behind the scenes with Salted and Styled.
A Kick Ass Collar
I was pretty excited when I saw this awesome shoot the gals shot in NYC about knives, allowing me to tap in to my darker side (which isn’t too hard). Knives you say? Why not add some bullets to the mix? I adore this kick ass collar by Assad Mounser made with stainless steel bullet spike drops.

A Life Inspired by Corn and Love
BACKSTORY: Geoffrey doesn’t like anyone to know the actual spelling of his name, and prefers the less bourgeois “Jeff” (his pedigree determined years ago in a wealthy Chicago suburb). Jeff’s great grandfather, grandfather and father all held seats on the Chicago Board of Exchange and were not pleased when he decided to apply to Agriculture School at The University of Illinois (a state school). Jillian (Jeff’s young wife) studied art at a lesser known art school in the Mid-West where she met Jeff at a summer party in Saugatuck, MI. When everyone else was wearing notable designers, Jillian arrived at the party wearing a simple white cotton sheath with a small noticeable tear at the hem.
The Secrets of Backyard Chicken Farmers
My name is David Bucey.
I’m a backyard chicken farmer,
only ’cause my daddy won’t let me hunt them
Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream
There’s just something about a boy, his chicken and an ice cream cone.
A Busch Raised in the Wild Kingdom
David Busch, a 33-year-old member of the Anheuser-Busch dynasty, does whatever he wants. But his “whatever he wants” isn’t about couch-surfing his way through adulthood with a gaming remote fused in his fist. It’s about pursuing any one of his seemingly endless interests in the world around him—a world that’s notably different than my own.
Inspired by Backyard Chicken Farmers
This week we salute all ages of the backyard chicken farmers who inspire us. We applaud the thread of seriousness that flows through each farmer and the realization that no two farmers are alike. Take a peek through the chicken wire each day to see what’s up in the coop and under the poop.
All in the Family
I grew up eating what was served to me. No one ever asked what I wanted, or offered an alternative to the salmon flopped on my plate flesh-side up, all pink and wet. Mom would leave the scales on the opposite side, so I’d have to flip it and slowly peel back its shiny, slithery coat. I’d curl my lip and wince.
Inspired by Family Recipes
Written on a one-ply napkin, whispered in an eager young ear or four hands working together on a shaky kitchen table. This week on Salted and Styled, we are inspired by the treasured family recipes that are secretly passed from generation to generation.
