Down With Chef Worship

Last month, celebrated Danish chef René Redzepi opened up a pop-up restaurant in Tulum, Mexico. This restaurant will only be open for seven weeks. Dinner costs $600 and lasts well past midnight. You will not eat at this restaurant. You will not even come close to ever being able to eat at this restaurant. And yet, …

Let's Fry Some Sweet Plantains, And Then Never Eat Green Bananas Ever Again

When the fabric of my family is someday finally rent, and generations of heirs and descendants wage decades of bitter war upon one another, and oaths become ancient curses until the family tree is left utterly in ruin, the issue won’t be money, or land, or politics, or even whether it is called “tuna fish” or “tuna…

These Are the Three Best Coolers

Well this is awkward. The overwhelming favorite in this week’s cooler Co-Op was RTIC’s hard cooler, which is no longer in production due to to a lawsuit by YETI. You can still find them here and there, and it’s possible RTIC will make tweaks and rerelease it in some form. But in the meantime, let’s have a vote on your …

Watch Out For Bits Of Golf Ball In Your Hash Browns

In what would be the ideal alarmist story for a local news program to tease at the top of the show, McCain Foods announced a voluntary recall Friday for packages of frozen hash browns that “may be contaminated with extraneous golf ball materials.” A classic mixup.

Summer Is Here! Let's Grill Up A Tentacled Monster

It’s gonna be a bright 88 degrees fahrenheit in the nation’s capital next week. Whatever the hell the calendar says, summertime is upon us. There is no force in all the universe that can take it back, now that it has been freely given. No backsies on this one, nature.

Let's Make The Hottest Salsa And Send Our Pampered Asses Straight To Hell

When I was a kid, I once visited a small retail shop in South Carolina that was stocked with nothing but hot sauces. This was the most fascinating place on earth. All the labels on all the hot sauces offered various brags about their spiciness, as if what they had to sell was not the joy of eating or the deliciousness…

Let's Make A Whole Pile Of Warm, Buttery Apple Fritters

This is a true apple fritter story—the tale of one man’s tortured relationship with apple fritters and how they saved his life, ruined his diet, and in the end probably shortened his life.

Stock Up On Easter Sweets and Mother's Day Gifts During Amazon's Annual Chocolate Sale

There are two types of people in the world: People who say they love chocolate, and liars, and there’s really no point to being the latter.

Let's Fry Some Eggplant, Because It's Possible There Is Nothing Better

With all due respect to falafel, a ripe summer tomato, or one single slice of melted yellow American cheese, the very best non-animal-flesh sandwich filling in existence is fried eggplant. Don’t even think about saying otherwise down in the comments, heretofore an empty place practically crying out for your garbage…

Vital Cultural Activity Of Our Era Is Not Music But Rather Something I Still Participate In, Says Old Guy

Eating Like an NBA Star Is Easier Than You Think

I am not a huge fan of athlete-designed or endorsed foods and diets, mainly because I am not an athlete, but I also hate the joyless, clinical approach so many of these “diets” take. (In fact, when Tom Brady released his absurd, overpriced “nutritional manual” last year, I was incensed.) But the NBA has a meal plan…

Let's Make Some Crab Dip, The Most Decadent And Delicious Way To Eat Canned Crab

Generally speaking, crab dishes get less reputable the more ingredients they include that are not crab meat. Crab imperial and deviled crab might still show up on the menu at a semi-serious seafood restaurant. Crab puffs make a fine, if indulgent, hors d’oeuvre. I have a crab cookbook in my home, full of adventurous,…

One Braised Pork Belly Taco To Rule Them All

We’ve been down this road, the pork belly road, before. Actually, we’ve been down many roads. Many roads converged in these woods, is what I’m saying. Good roads. Listen. Shut up. We are going to make gooey braised pork belly tacos, and we are going to find our way there via dead reckoning. Strap in.

Leaked Audio: Trump Cares About Food Safety But Only If the Food Is Foreign

What the Fuck Kind of Monstrosity Does Ryan Gosling Pull Out of the Oven in La La Land?

La La Land is a movie carried by talented actors doing their best with what they were given. One of the things they were given was this hideous souffle-cake chimera which Ryan Gosling believably portrays as food.
