On a rather nice evening in Chicago a couple of weeks ago, my life is changed by two pizzas. It is at Great Lake, named by Alan Richman in a GQ article as the best pizza in America.
Pizza has been a large part of my life, as you can tell by my posting history. Today [...]
Eick sent me some Nature’s Valley Granola Nut Clusters the other day. I was pretty hungry so I ripped it open and hucked some into my mouth. They were dry and strangely boring, which is why this review will be short and probably boring.
Flavor: A little bit of honey, a little bit of peanut and [...]

While watching a fantastic Law & Order: SVU Marathon last Sunday, a commercial appears. Two children conspire to make their mother buy them the new Mega Mighty Bites. They employ the fantastic reverse psychology method to stunning effect, as Mommy scurries out assuring the children they will have no choice but to eat the Mega [...]
If you’re anything like me, you enjoy an online existence. Said existence involves not working, reading news, humor websites, screwing with people on 4chan, and trying not to read message boards on political sites. We are inundated with advertisements and people propping up their causes, whether silly or not. New memes like Failblog and LOLcats [...]

Before Meat Madness, I made some predictions. I knew bacon would win, figured steak would be upset, and knew pulled pork would make a run. In turns out I won, no rigging involved. And my reward? A 25 dollar gift certificate to Outback Steakhouse.
Far be it for me to complain about a free meal, [...]

Human beings are territorial creatures. Always have been. Which leads me to my next point: YOUR PIZZA IS AWFUL. No, really, I don’t like the pizza where you’re from. Be it New York City, Denver, Los Angeles, it’s not my pizza. It’s yours and it’s terrible.

Granted, the title of this post sounds strange, but consider following excruciating choice:
Option #1: You have to eat a squishy over-ripe banana every day for the rest of your life.
Option #2: You can never eat anything that could be classified as “dessert” ever again.
Things to consider: Have you ever brought a banana to work thinking [...]

Due to gentle goading from Eick, I shall wade into the beautiful, twisted world of Would You Rather.
Option #1: You can never drink coffee again
Option #2: You can never drink soda again.
Things to consider: A wonderfully legalized drug, caffeine chews you up, spits you out and laughs in your face. You feel great one [...]

The other day, I received a small cardboard box in the mail. A small sticker affixed to the side told me to expect “Pizza Zing!” I was, as one would expect, excited.
Idea: Take the Big Three pizza toppings from any NYC pizza-eatery (Parmesan cheese, oregano, red pepper flakes) and combine them in one easy-to-use container. [...]

Food Network is not particularly known for its innovation. Iron Chef America is a version of Japan’s Iron Chef. Jeff Corwin has a show that directly echoes Travel Channel’s Bizarre Foods. Meanwhile, Will Work for Food is essentially Dirty Jobs with a more annoying, somehow whiter host with food-related jobs. Now we have Chopped, which [...]

Editors Note: This post is the first “official” So Good post by Cary, So Good’s newest contributor. Cary is probably well known to any regular readers as he has been an active commenter since So Good launched in August of 2007. He was also in the same sketch comedy group as me in college, for [...]
