Conservatives are Fat, Fat, Fatties

by · August 28th, 2007 · 12 Comments

At least that’s one thing I surmised from the new obesity report put out by Calorie Lab. As I was writing this blog post, I did a blog search and discovered I’m not the only one who noticed this (Hat tip to Open Left, who yesterday picked up on the same trend). Out of the [...]

Bacon Salt is Hip to the Series of Tubes

by · August 28th, 2007 · 1 Comment

I previously wrote about Bacon Salt after discovering it just before this blog launched. Justin and Dave were kind enough to send me free samples of the Original, Hickory and Peppered Bacon Salt, and I’ve spent the past 10 days trying it on various food items. (I swear a review is coming soon, I’ve just [...]

Does Hardee’s Have the Best Fast Food?

by · August 28th, 2007 · 1 Comment

According to CitySearch, Hardee’s was voted #1 for fast food in 13 cities, and their Thickburgers were voted “Best Burger” in Atlanta, Jacksonville, Louisville, Minneapolis and Kansas City, Mo. (Hat tip to Slashfood, where I first read this story). Now I must admit it’s been well-over 10 years since I’ve had Hardee’s, it’s just not [...]

Name the Sandwich Contest Was “Dumb”

by · August 27th, 2007 · 1 Comment

So says Ed Shamy, of the Burlington Free Press. I previously wrote about how he organized a contest to come up with a new name for a Sub/Grinder/Hero/Hoagie that would be unique to Vermont. Shamy now admits the contest was a failure, describing it as: A fiasco from the instant I dreamed it up. Well [...]

The Food Pornographer just had some delicious looking chicken wings. The Impulsive Buy reviews Caramel Doritos Sweets, which he got from Japan. Is The Burger [...]

Cheeseburgers = “Naughty Sex”

by · August 26th, 2007 · 3 Comments

So says Quentin Tarantino about the In-N-Out Double-Double burger in a recent interview with FHM magazine: “Hands down my favourite fast-food chain is the In-N-Out Burger. The double double with cheese is one of the great food experiences. It’s like naughty sex. Bruce Willis even admitted he doesn’t eat fast food anymore, except from In-N-Out [...]

Vote for Wendy’s Newest Burger

by · August 26th, 2007 · 7 Comments

In a post titled Burger Democracy, Heather, over at Bacon Unwrapped, has alerted me to a new contest called “Build Wendy’s New Burger” (be patient, it takes a minute to load). Ten consumer-submitted burger recipes have been posted online for burger fans to vote on, and whichever recipe gets the most votes over the next [...]

George Costanza Says: McDLT!

by · August 25th, 2007 · 1 Comment

Remember the McDLT? Yeah, me neither. Apparently in the 80′s, McDonalds had the brilliant idea to use a double-wide Styrofoam container so they could serve a burger with the hot burger and the cold lettuce and tomato in two seperate compartments. Brilliant or moronic? You make the call. Of course as you can see from [...]

Would You Rather: Melted Cheese vs. Potatoes

by · August 24th, 2007 · 7 Comments

Today’s Would You Rather? compares two seemingly random products that are both eaten deceptively frequently. Would You Rather? Option #1: You can never eat melted cheese in any form again for the rest of your life. You can still eat any kind of cheese you want in a cold, unmelted form. Option #2: You can [...]
