For more than two years, we've been working day and night along with you to build FOOD52, the place where kitchens meet -- and we're over it. We just want to party. Welcome to FOOD54, baby!

Watch the video below to see what we're all about these days, and learn how we like our disco fries. And be sure to scope out our new homepage.

This video was shot by groovy videographer Alex Lisowski and edited by talented superfreak Kyle Orosz.

We never look back, but if you want to get to any of that old boring FOOD52 stuff (recipes, contests, the Hotline), just click in the main navigation bar above or use the search.

I was gossiping about FOOD52 today on fb w/a college friend living in England, and remembered this video. I sent her this video. I LOVE this video. I love you two for making this video. Amanda looks like John Hurt when he played Caligula in I, CLAUDIUS. Merrill's a sexy dancer!

Looking back I think I've had this during many a late night during the Haight Ashbury days. The name Disco Fries works just as well as calling it, the munchies! Yep, just as well!

OMG, one of the funniest things I've ever seen! The messed up make up, the dancing, the sleeping during the microwaving--awesome! You go girls!

I just notice now… Amanda made a few changes in her kitchen, right? White kitchen cabinets…

I was so scared when I saw food54 - I thought hackers had been at it! Then I cracked up. Wow. There's no end to the mystery and refreshing that you guys are. Everyday I am grateful for food52!

I'm busting a gut laughing here...

I forgot about April Fool's Day, none here. I was in the kitchen and the soundtrack started when my husband booted up the computer. I yelled at him, "So the playlist is Disco for tonight?"
"No, no, it's your food52!"
"What?????"
You guys really captured an era.
