An awesomely off-topic recipe competition from the man behind Chili Takedown, this pork-a-palooza lets all comers sample 30+ bacon-based dishes (bacon chili, bacon pasta...bacon cobbler?) then vote on the winner, who'll be awarded $100 -- which should cover the copay at his cardiologist.

Hit this month-long LES pop-up for NY design collective Vane's streetwear-ish take on Sebago's classic docksiders, including The Spearmint (light green and white leather), The Clubhouse (white and beige leathers), The Tuxedo (all-over shiny black leather), and the black nubuck Olympian -- traditional uniform for that most challenging of Summer Games, drinking beer and busting on everyone else's 'hampton.

From the president of the pizzamaker-certifying org Associazione Pizzaiuoli Napoletani, Keste bakes elegantly simple traditional Neapolitan pies (Margherita, Marinara, Mast' Nicola, etc) using all organic, local ingredients. The oven's handcrafted from Mt. Vesuvius clay by Italian artisans, boasts a low dome and small mouth to retain heat, and can bake a raw pie in the time it takes Nick Cage to steal 1.5 Shelby Mustangs.

Once Keste gets its beer and liquor license, they'll be serving all Campania vino and Italian suds
