The sauce is so good, you’ll need to keep eating corn just so you can feel alive. Here’s the “before picture” of the dry-rubbed ribs. Check back later to see [...]

Regular readers of this blog know that I’m something of a foodie, so you can imagine my excitement at scoring the culinary scoop of the centuminute. I’m referring, of course, to the apparent Official Cookout Gear of the White House, the Weber Sputnik. According to a White House staffer, the place is lousy with the [...]

I don’t know if he has his minions watching my Twitter feed, or what, but hell if I didn’t go out for burgers Thursday night with Caleb, College Politico Steve, and Minority Report Bob, which surely resulted in a huge surge in sales of hamburgers with mayo and bone fragment. Sure, he just “decided” to [...]

I love watching Hell’s Kitchen, if only so I can laugh smugly to myself and say, “Come on, you couldn’t tell that was a doves’s egg poached in tortoise broth? Donkey!” during those blindfolded taste tests, or imagine how I would give Ramsay what for if he ever yelled at me like that in the [...]

One doesn’t naturally follow the other, but doesn’t it seem a little desperate? From TastyBooze.com: Three buddies in Australia came up with a unique way to market their bottled beer called Skinny Blonde. Instead of using cutting edge ink technology to turn some bullshit mountains blue the guys at Skinny Blonde make a pin-up girl’s [...]

Yeah, I know it’s a reach, but I feel better if I can shoe-horn the politics in there. I decided to have another bash at bacon-wrapped bananas, but this time, with a twist: GRILLED bacon-wrapped bananas. And “Bailout” bacon burgers.
