Last week, I talked about how the focus of fast food restaurants has undoubtedly shifted from the value menu to higher quality, higher-priced items in the last few years. What I did not mention is that Wendy’s has been one of the leaders on that front. It seems it was just a short year ago [...]

It seems to me that just a few years ago, the trend in fast food was the value menu. McDonald’s still boasts a Dollar Menu, but others no longer offer such low prices. Burger King, for example, had a double cheeseburger for just a dollar. Then, they took off a piece of cheese and called [...]

I recently tried one of the most terrifying products I’ve ever encountered: Rogue Voodoo Doughnut Bacon Maple Ale. If you’re not familiar with Portland, Oregon, it’s a weird place. There’s an abundance of vegans, piercings, beards, bicycles, craft breweries and just general hippy behavior. People who aren’t from Portland often ask, “Is it really like [...]

This time of year, with “The Big Game” right around the corner, salty, cheesey, rich dishes are often the [...]

Americans love cheese; there’s no disputing that. We put it in and on everything we can. It makes things taste better. It’s like bacon in that way, but bacon gets more hype. We also like to put foods inside of each other, because we think two great things equal an even greater thing. So Domino’s [...]

I often ponder on where particular sayings related to food in pop culture originate from. I don’t lose sleep over it mind you, however, it’s always been an interest of mine. Think of me as “CSI: Too much time on my hands.” I’m sure you don’t have to be a twenty-one day Jeopardy Champ to [...]

KFC has taken its “Famous Bowl” and added bacon. Wait, they hadn’t done that already? How is it possible that the failure pile in a sadness bowl didn’t already include bacon? The company that put bacon in-between two fried chicken patties that served as bread weren’t already dumping pieces of bacon on top of their [...]
