Grub Street

Bravo just announced that Top Chef Masters season four will start its run July 25, and this year judges Curtis Stone, Ruth Reichl, and James Oseland will return, joined by Gilt Taste's Francis Lam and friend of Grub Street Krista Simmons. (You'll recall that Grub Street's Alan Sytsma was a judge on several episodes last year.) The chefs this time around include Missy Robbins, Sue Torres, Chris Cosentino, and Art Smith. But enough yammering — see the full release and a preview clip for yourself straight ahead.

There've been some exciting developments lately in the world of beer, but none quite match the wonder of seeing a dude pour beer from a spout attached to his iPad, in this video posted by Cheese Culture. We have no idea how he created this e-keg, and neither do any of the tourists who stop by the Hofbräuhaus and get a free beer. It's all set to a background of silly oompah music, naturally. See for yourself below, and let us know if you figure out how he does it.

Yesterday we heard about Adrian Grenier's ambitious new plans to teach city kids how to grow and cook their own food, which is an idea we can get behind. And now we find out he's also an investor in a beer company that puts its pilsner inside old-school, flat-top cans that need to be opened with a churchkey, which is an idea that's so incongruous with the first plan that we find ourselves again disappointed in the Entourage actor.

A comedian's life on the road is tough: Just listen to Jim Gaffigan, who made a name for himself hating on Hot Pockets, tell it. On last night's Late Night, the comic told Jimmy Fallon that he ends up hitting Subways, a lot. And it's "not just because it's fun watching a clinically depressed person throw together your sandwich." Hear his Sandwich Artist argument in the video, straight ahead.
