Marketing Meat

This is a confusing sight… As I walked past the BUTCHER section of my local Whole Foods I spotted a giant ‘100% Vegetarian’ sign on the counter and had to see what sort of meat-free option was being sold alongside bloody steaks and raw chicken kabobs. Was there some sort of new meatless cow on […]

Food Flop

There are times when nasty-sounding food combinations end up becoming your favorite recipes. But then there are those things that sound perfect in principle, but in reality end up being food flops. Hotdogs can be tasty. Pizza is always good. So a ‘hotdog-pizza’ would be awesome…right?! No. A layer of tomato sauce, topped with onions, […]

Crossing the Line

Don’t be one of those jerks who shows up at Subway during peak-lunch-hours to order  a dozen complicated combos for your co-workers that are diligently  staying at their desks. Yes, you may think you are being noble by venturing out of your office in the pursuit of tasty rations to nourish your colleagues….but NO! Instead […]

‘Cheese Food’

When a company has to go extra lengths to  reassure you that the product they are selling is edible, then do you really even want to consider eating the stuff?!? It seems that this spreadable ‘cheese’ is so processed and unrecognizable that the manufacture needed to list it as ‘Spreadable Cold Pack Cheese Food.’ I […]

Food for Thought

Open your eyes and your belly will be happy: People need to stop being so damn dependent on their sacred ‘Joy of Cooking’ textbook, or their Food & Wine Magazine subscriptions. And while I love watching an episode of Iron Chef America or some other Food Network program, sometimes we ALL need to just turn […]

Drinking Buddies

Beer for dogs. This is a thing?!? I came across this dog ‘beer’ while traveling in Asia… Finally you can treat “man’s best friend,” like a real pal and buy him a drink. I am not sure about the alcohol content of this stuff (or even if there is any liquor in it at all), […]

Food Fight

I am fed up with how so many people take extreme positions on what to eat. Food fanatics cover the whole spectrum from gluten-free followers to Atkins allocates, and even those ‘juicers’ who drink kale for dinner. For every cultist-like vegan there is, there is also a crazed-cow chomping carnivore. Both sides constantly try to […]

Face the Flax

It is time to finally face the flax. So many foods brag about how they include ‘flax’ and it is sort of getting annoying. I finally decided to try and figure all this flax craziness out and determine if this is just another dumb trend like the overuse of acai, that preys on the health […]

Dining Danger

Food is a beautiful thing. BUT, it can also pose some serious pitfalls to the unprepared or ignorant. I am well versed in many of the side  effects of certain edible delicacies, yet often times I decide to just accept the consequences involved in order to make that perfect meal. Well, the other night a […]

Know Your FACTS: Making Crap Tasty

One of the highest compliments I have ever received for my culinary creations was in college by a friend of mine who said I make crappy food taste good. We are all frequently stuck with unappetizing junk that we somehow are supposed to turn into a meal. This could be because our budget restricts us […]
