I have to admit that when it comes to ice cream, I am fairly powerless.  I think that when you find the right brand and the right flavor, it is pure bliss.  And while I have done my part to explore as many undiscovered gems as possible during my travels, there is still much work [...]

Oh, where do I start?  Trust me when I say that competing in a pie eating contest was never on my bucket list.  That said, this past Sunday, that is just what I did at a favorite local sweet shop, Sugar Mama’s Bakeshop, which was celebrating its first anniversary. 
The mission: eat three mini-pies as fast [...]

As we all know, yesterday was President Barack Obama’s birthday.  And what kind of cake did the Commander-in-Chief receive?   How about the disaster you see above.   Does this cake fit the President?  I think not.  This is not the essence of cool.  This is more like fireworks shooting out of your nose while the Star Spangled Banner is playing.  [...]

Today, July 30th, is National Cheesecake Day. I myself have never been a fan of sweets and desserts. Sure, they are yummy, I’d just always rather eat “regular” food over dessert food. But cheesecake is my one real weakness. I absolutely love the stuff.  One restaurant that is currently working with my company, The Cheesecake [...]

Update: Much like the networks calling Florida for Gore/Bush too early in 2000, So Good called this one too early as well. Turns out the online voting only accounts for 30% of the decision, and 70% is determined by the judges in reaction to the “Bake-Off” that the winners do. The REAL winner of the [...]

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 [...]

As I have previously reported, the consumer seems to be getting less product for the same price – especially in this economy.  As I recently read on The Comsumerist, I am sorry to say that this truth can now be applied to the sacred institution of Girl Scout cookies.  Due to the rising costs of [...]

In the seemingly never-ending string of Barack Obama related food stories, comes the news that for the next month, Ben & Jerry’s is renaming its Butter Pecan flavor “Yes Pecan.”  All proceeds from sales of the ice cream during January will be donated to the Common Cause Education Fund.

What took you so long Ben & [...]

As loyal readers of So Good know, I have a love/hate relationship with Sonic in the sense that I would love to try their food, but they hate the idea of opening a store anywhere near where I live.  But as I’ve noted before, from all indications, the food scientists and inventors at Sonic are [...]

You might also be planning your next culinary creation that will wow those lucky enough to sample one of your delicacies.  But what to make?  You’ve done all the traditional stuff before - what about something new?  I have the answer you have long [...]

Another post about cupcakes, you ask? Why, yes, but not in an “oh, I love them all” kind of way this time. Now I dig a good cupcake as much as the next hipster, despite the protest of one So Good blogger. That said, someone needs to draw a line in the sand. [...]

I just received two sets of delicious election cookies from Eleni’s of NYC c/o a colleague – one featuring Obama and one featuring McCain.Now, I might be reading too much into this, but the picture of Obama looks quite strong, while the McCain cookie looks a little green around the gills. Is this cookie foreshadowing [...]

I’m not the biggest fan of cupcakes, but at this point it looks like they’re here to stay so I might as well get used to them.  As far as cupcakes go these are pretty awesome. Nick and Danielle Bilton won 1st place in the NYC cupcake decorating championships with this nifty display. [...]

Thanks to our friends at Comsumerist, one of the most dangerous food items in existence has been brought to light. Baskin-Robbins, previously know for their famous 31 flavors and widespread presence across this country, has created something that surely must be sponsored by the American College of Cardiology.  If you have not heard, it is [...]

A few lackluster trips to the ice cream shops in my new hometown have made me remember a fantastic shop back in my old hometown of DC. In Alexandria, Virginia, to be precise, in the part of town called Del Ray, there is a place where I always had a great scoop – called The [...]

A couple friends turned me onto a food blog which I find pretty darn funny. It’s called Cake Wrecks and talks about two of my favorite subjects: Food (cake) and stupid people. I love the combination of the truly weird and completely shoddy way some of these cakes are made. Here are [...]
