Short story: ‘like’ us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JetCityGastrophysics.

Long story: So we thought it would be good to have a place to update you on various topics that orbit around Modernist Cuisine but not specifically to it. From gardening to restaurant news to events and whatnot, our Facebook page will keep you informed on things we find interesting that are going on. It’s a lot like our separate Twitter accounts (here, here and here), but all three of our food interests combined into one big superpage of food awesomeness. What’s not to like?
