Here’s an interesting bit from Nation’s Restaurant News, namely a new menu item from Burger King in yet another bold price-conscious move: The new bone-in ribs, which have been tested in various markets and use the chain’s new batch broilers that are now in nearly all domestic Burger King units, are priced at $7.99 as [...]

I’ll begin by saying I woke up this morning wondering about milk.  I did this because we were out of yogurt and I had my heady hippie granola with 2% milk.  It was not satisfying.  This sent me into a nostalgic haze, to a time when I couldn’t leave for school until I consumed a [...]

Brought to you by the delightful humans at Jones Soda.  Obviously.  Who else would take the time to cater to a small percentile of table top role players and pull it off so gloriously.  To whit: With flavors like “Eldritch Blast” and “Potion of Healing,” I can’t imagine these won’t fly off the nerd shelves.  [...]

Catching a movie in my pre-teens was an incredible experience.  The smell of horrible two-day-old popcorn at the Sangertown Mall, the crunchy disgusting carpets…and the candy.  Oh the candy. I preferred to forgo the traditional box of candy and went for the wall of sugar.  You remember those gargantuan plexi-glass shelves containing your darkest desires.  [...]

If you had to choose between eating a sandwich and saving a child thrown from a building, the decision would be tough.  After a decent amount of deliberation, you catch the child…but you probably [...]

I came from a family of spreaders.  When making peanut butter sandwiches, you unpacked two slices of bread, took the peanut butter out of the cupboard and WHAMMO you have a peanut butter sandwich.  Where I grew up, constructing a PB sandwich was a salve on an otherwise useless day.  Hey, I might not have [...]

This is a true gem, brought to us by the folks at the New York Post: New York Senator Charles Schumer is just like us.  He has a secret awesome sandwich that he adores. Dig on this: Roast beef, banana peppers, pickled jalapeños, extra onions, extra tomatoes, two layers of pickles, mayonnaise and mustard on [...]

As I sit in my office this morning, it is out there.  In the tangible world, a burger exists that is not truly a burger.  It is an IMPOSTER.  A fink.  I am speaking of McDonald’s new-ish Big Mac Wrap. Take a Big Mac.  Remove the buns.  Cut the patties in half, sometimes quarters. Wrap [...]

I stumbled across Yelp several years ago when looking up a restaurant’s address.  It seemed interesting enough; a cloying aggregator that collects people’s instant opinions to form an overall one-four star rating system.  However, like most things on the internet, reading the actual reviews by customers made me wonder how reliable this service actually is.
