Yesterday I contacted the folks at Modernist Cuisine to ask if they'd ever consider selling high-quality prints of the pictures from the book, you know, ones you could hang on a kitchen wall. They said they are considering it - I think they would look fantastic in the hallway leading to my kitchen! What do you guys think?

Yeah I completely agree. Most of my friends are pretty tech-savvy...and also not particularly organized - so something they can't lose might be nice. Plus from my perspective it's just so much easier given that I'm in San Francisco now to send a digital one than dealing with mailing it and all that. I don't know though it's still a foreign concept to me. Anyone else have general thoughts on the pros/cons?

What do you guys think about traditional versus digital gift cards for restaurants? Recently I've been reading more about digital gift cards, such as those by GiftRocket. I just moved to San Francisco from New York and want to send some of my friends back in NY some gifts to our favorite spots (such as Babbo, ABC Kitchen, and Minetta Tavern). Trying to decide between going through and ordering traditional plastic gift cards versus using digital gifts that they can redeem on their phones. The digital ones are a lot easier for me since I don't have to wait for mailing the cards and all that - but it's nice for people to get something they can hold! What do you guys think? Would also be interested in any perspectives from the folks who actually work at restaurants.
