I had the incredible good fortune of working on Steven Universe with all of its wonderful, hilarious, and inspiring artists and voice cast for five years - from “Gem Glow” to “Change Your Mind” (and the beginnings of the movie).
Now that “Change Your Mind” has aired, I wanted to post a collection of photos of some of my favorite episode foods I made for the crew over the years (mostly from before the bombs made it a bit difficult to keep up the tradition):
- These weren’t for an episode airing, but I made Cookie Cats for the first time way back in 2013 for Rebecca’s birthday (a few months before the show premiered):
BIG NEWS. Very excited to be able to share this. And very excited to be working with Mike again on this simultaneously new and old adventure. Give him a follow too if you haven’t already, as we chronicle this journey: @michaeldantedimartino
Here’s our quote from the press release: “We’re thrilled for the opportunity to helm this live-action adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender. We can’t wait to realize Aang’s world as cinematically as we always imagined it to be, and with a culturally appropriate, non-whitewashed cast. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime chance to build upon everyone’s great work on the original animated series and go even deeper into the characters, story, action, and world-building. Netflix is wholly dedicated to manifesting our vision for this retelling, and we’re incredibly grateful to be partnering with them.” — Bryan Konietzko & Michael DiMartino

me & all my tsb pals: -spend a shit ton of time talking about the intricacies of the game, the details easily missed, the nature of how interwoven the friend group is, how well balanced the writing+tone is as well as the impact of the audio direction-
also, me & all my tsb pals: -spend a shit ton of time laughing at atrocious memes like
He comes from a very poor family. His father was an alcoholic who beat him and his mother (he once poured hot tea over her and put her in hospital several times), his brother is a drug addict, he literally built an empire out of nothing.
He credits his mother as his biggest inspiration and often has her cooking in his shows.
When he left his first restaurant he pulled a successful Jerry Maguire - the entire kitchen staff went with him. That tells you what he’s like to work with.
He was one of the first to give a restaurant to a female chef.
He went to prison (Gordon Behind Bars) and taught inmates to bake and they opened a bakery (Bad Boys Bakery) that is still running. He hired one of them when he got out.
He did documentaries about the cruelty of shark hunting and cocaine. (when he discovered cocaine was used by his staff he didn’t fire anyone but made sure they are offered treatment)
His kids are a treasure.
He is always ALWAYS kind to servers.
When one of his partners (Marcus Wareing) wanted to leave they got into a fight and settled it in court, they no longer speak to each other but this is what Marcus said about him after the fight:
I feel bad that the first association to him for a lot of people is this shouty TV chef when he’s truly a wonderful person.
