Your toaster is an underused creative tool.

Most people treat toast as breakfast. We treat toast as a medium. This site documents the serious study of unserious things: portraiture in browned bread, municipal planning at the crumb scale, load-bearing carbohydrates, and the full calendar of seasonal toast. Every guide has been written in a completely deadpan tone, because that is the only tone that toast deserves.

The collected works

Building a Toast City

Urban planning at the bread scale: zoning, infrastructure, butter roads, and the political economy of a crumb metropolis.

A Toast Menagerie

Bears, owls, fish, and rabbits rendered in sliced bread — field notes from the world's least necessary zoo.

Toast for Every Holiday

Seasonal toast concepts for the full calendar year, plus a sincere note about making a joyful mess.
