These delicious Radicchio stills are from the film, Zegüt, by Alisa Lapidus and Natasha Subramaniam.  I met Alisa and her boyfriend, Wesley, in August at the Thirsty Crow in Silverlake; I was fresh off the plane to LA and readying myself for a Danish-joyride to SF that would lead to a cross-country train excursion with Lauryn Gerstle.  At the time, Alisa was blowing up food and stop-motioning the hell out of it (while not working as an animator for the LA Opera).  Instant submission to all films about food, sorry.

“The greatest delight the fields and woods minister is the suggestion of an occult relation between man and the vegetable.  I am not alone and unacknowledged.  They nod to me and I to them.”  - Ralph Waldo Emerson
