I used to enjoy hot dogs on pizza, when I was 8. As a latch key kid any thoughts of taking the culinary high road was an afterthought, as hunger dictated MacGyver like skills be employed to satiate a growling belly.

It’s Monday, meaning it’s time for another Eating Styles poll. Last week we did a poll about taco meat in honor of National Taco Day. This got me wondering about other national food holidays, so I looked up today’s date and found out today is National Fluffernutter Day. A fluffernutter is a sandwich with peanut [...]

The third most awesome thing about Sonic (after the drinks, and breakfast being served all day) is the menu. It has great variety – whatever you want, they’ve probably got it.
