Christmas Food Memories

by · December 17th, 2008 · 4 Comments

One of my favorite parts of the holidays is food, which should not come as a surprise to anyone.  Watching TV recently, it came to mind how toned-down a lot of the holiday food ads have become.  I will admit to being unabashedly nostalgic about my childhood, but don’t the ads below take you to a [...]

Western Spaghetti

by · December 16th, 2008 · 3 Comments

Time Magazine recently came out with their year end issue that has their Top 10 everything-you-can-imagine list. The Top 10 viral videos of 2008 had a video I hadn’t seen before, called Western Spaghetti. In the video, various household objects are used to create the illusion of the making of a spaghetti dinner. Pretty cool, [...]

Ordering Pizza Hut Pizza…in a Local Pizza Shop

by · December 15th, 2008 · 5 Comments

Pizza Hut has apparently decided to make a foray into the world of viral videos, enlisting Mediocre Films, the makers of the popular “Retarded Policeman” YouTube series.  Apparently associating with a company whose top videos use the term “retarded” isn’t really a concern of Pizza Hut, as they’ve had Mediocre Films produce three videos for [...]

Bertolli Oven Bake Meals

by · December 12th, 2008 · 5 Comments

One of the nice things about working for an internet company is that when people here have food related clients I get to try out new products. One of our latest campaigns is for the new Bertolli’s Oven Baked Meals.  I picked up three different packages, the Tri-Color Four Cheese Ravioli, the Chicken Parm & [...]

So Good Blog/News Round-Up 12/12/08

by · December 12th, 2008 · No Comments

Endless Simmer and Grub Street both interview the latest chef to depart from Top Chef. Cathy Erway rails against the “imperialism” of the Whopper Virgin ads, an opinion far different from my own. Crispy on the Outside ridicules the idea of a Department of Food. Cheeseburger vs. McDouble vs. Double Cheeseburger. KFC is planning a [...]

Man vs. Food Tonight: Pittsburgh, Columbus

by · December 10th, 2008 · 9 Comments

Last week I watched the first two episodes of Man v. Food (off of my DVR…dumbasses scheduled it head-to-head with Top Chef) and enjoyed them quite a bit.  I plan on hitting up my DVR after Top Chef to watch the next two episodes tonight, where the host travels to Pittsburgh and Columbus.  Challenges tonight [...]

I Try It So You Don’t Have To: Fiber One Toaster Pastries

by · December 10th, 2008 · 10 Comments

I have been eying these toaster pastries for a while. I have a special love in my heart for Pop-Tarts, but as an adult, it is sometimes hard to justify eating them. The other morning, as I chatted to a friend online, she told me she had to run and go warm up her “fibrous [...]
