Description

Eat Me: The Food and Philosophy of Kenny Shopsin"Pancakes are a luxury, like smoking marijuana or having sex. That's why I came up with the names Ho Cakes and Slutty Cakes. These are extra decadent, but in a way, every pancake is a Ho Cake." Thus speaks Kenny Shopsin, legendary (and legendarily eccentric, ill tempered, and lovable) chef and owner of the Greenwich Village restaurant (and institution), Shopsin's, which has been in existence since 1971. Kenny has finally put together his 900 plus item

"Pancakes are a luxury, like smoking marijuana or having sex. That's why I came up with the names Ho Cakes and Slutty Cakes. These are extra decadent, but in a way, every pancake is a Ho Cake." Thus speaks Kenny Shopsin, legendary (and legendarily eccentric, ill-tempered, and lovable) chef and owner of the Greenwich Village restaurant (and institution), Shopsin's, which has been in existence since 1971.

Kenny has finally put together his 900-plus-item menu and his unique philosophy--imagine Elizabeth David crossed with Richard Pryor--to create Eat Me, the most profound and profane cookbook you'll ever read. His rants--on everything from how the customer is not always right to the art of griddling; from how to run a small, ethical, and humane business to how we all should learn to cook in a Goodnight Moon world where everything you need is already in your own home and head--will leave you stunned or laughing or hungry. Or all of the above.

With more than 120 recipes including such perfect comfort foods as High School Hot Turkey Sandwiches, Cuban Bean Polenta Melt, and Cornmeal-Fried Green Tomatoes with Comeback Sauce, plus the best soups, egg dishes, and hamburgers you've ever eaten, Eat Me is White Trash Cooking for the twenty-first century, as unforgettable and mind-boggling as its author.

Good looking, sturdy & great value
Color: Gravel Black
This looks great on top of our Black Quartz sink (which is top mounted so fits well). Very sturdy and easy to clean. I recommend this.

The ceramic feel
Color: Gravel Black, Color: Gravel Black
This item has a sturdy feel to it. The texture and weight is giving a ceramic feel. This piece has an elegant matte finish, screams modern solids. The pump is a bit meh but works well. All together a very fine piece of decor. Recommend with high marks.

Simple, Durable, and Efficient
Color: Gravel Black
I needed a soap holder for my kitchen sink and I was looking for something modern and small. The Shinowa Soap Dispenser with Sponge seemed good. It's small but holds a lot of soap. The black color is nice. The pump dispenses soap well. It has a compartment for a sponge, as well, though I never used it. The bottom has rubber feet to stop it from sliding o — bigger or more grippy pads would make it more stable, though not everyone would have that much space on their sink. The pump works well and doesn’t need a lot of pressure. The wide opening makes it easy to fill and clean. One thing I didn't like personally — the holder doesn’t have a way to drain water. Sometimes I need to take out the water that collects in it. But it’s not a big problem. Overall, the Shinowa Dish Soap Dispenser is good. It keeps my kitchen tidy and makes it easier to use. It’s a good product that I would recommend to others.

Bathroom
Color: Gravel Black
It's small and hard to keep clean. Gets easily stained it's pretty. Would recommend for a bathroom not a kitchen.

It works as it should.
Color: Gravel Black
It's what I was looking for. I cut the small foam stickers to keep it from moving around on counter into pieces & put the on the bottom works well. It did chance color? like white stained?
