Let's Make Some Fuckin' Pasta
A few weeks ago, I made some fuckin’ pasta. The pasta I made is right there in the image above. Isn’t it gorgeous?...
Raw Milk Is For Idiots
Some very stupid lawmakers in West Virginia are sick, presumably with the shits. They lifted the state’s ban on raw, unpasteurized milk a few weeks ago, then drank some raw, unpasteurized milk to celebrate, and, well, they are feeling bad lately. This seems an opportune moment to point out that actu...
Utica Greens Are The Dopest Meal You Can Make With "Greens" In The Name
We do this thing in my house where we arbitrarily shoehorn green things into the family diet, generally in quantities insufficient for any real nutritional purpose. Most often, this takes the form of a small bowl of sad lettuce splashed with cheap balsamic and presented as some sort of pre-dinner ha...
Casual Dining Restaurants, Ranked
A couple days back, Complex published an interview with Allen Iverson, which you should most definitely read, if you want. In it, there were lots of good tidbits, but perhaps the primo tidbit came when Iverson swore his allegiance to T.G.I. Friday’s, which is something (erroneously!) attributed to h...
Bougie Food Review: Snapea Crisps
Everybody has different wacky opinions on dieting, but most agree on one thing: Dieting at McDonald’s is bad and useless. “What’s even the point of getting a large Diet Coke with a Big Mac and fries?” is probably something you’ve heard before. Until recently, I shared that sentiment as well....
Burger King's Hot Dogs Are A Tasteful Middle Finger To Uppity Fast Food
Hey, bud, want a burrito? For real. I appreciate you: For the way you talk, the way you walk, the way you’re statistically unlikely to be the shrieky dude who lives upstairs. But mostly for the way you click. Damn, you click so good. So I would like to give you a burrito. Or more specifically, I wou...
Fast-Food Smackdown: Burger King's Jalapeño Chicken Fries Vs. Taco Bell's Quesalupa
Life, being pain, will sometimes trap even the most careful fast-foodie in the burgerless hellscape of a bullshit “real” restaurant that offers six total options: beef, chicken, this kind of fish, that kind of fish, some mushroom-pasta thing, and a wild card that is probably duck or beans. The meat-...
Garbage Beef Tastes Like The Great Depression Probably Felt
The Woe of Cooking is an ongoing fiasco where Jesse Farrar unearths the weirdest, grossest recipes he can find in The Joy of Cooking, and cooks/eats them. It has been awhile; we missed you....
Bad Internet Comments Are The Best Thing In The World
Your letters:...
Bougie Food Review: Sipping Chocolate
One of the ongoing subplots of my adulthood is the daily realization that I am simply the product of my parents. Despite living on the opposite coast and not seeing them nearly enough, they are very present in the daily mundanities of my life. My mom used to drive me insane when insisting the dishwa...
What Are You Cooking For The Super Bowl?
As much as we recommend it, we know that not everyone will be making a pepperoni cheese loaf monstrosity. For one, ingesting that much dairy can only be a recipe for disaster. ...
How To Make A Pepperoni Cheese Football, And Two Other Super Bowl Party Delights
Whether you’re hosting or going to a Super Bowl party, you’re going to need food. Instead of mailing it in with a bag of tortilla chips, impress your friends by making one of these three no-cook meat dishes. We followed the recipes and tried our results, then sent the bologna cake back to hell, wher...
Fast-Food Smackdown: McDonald's Mozzarella Sticks Vs. Wendy's Bacon Fondue Fries
Cheese trails only corgis and dead British men as a stimulator of exaggerated public devotion. Forgetting for a blessed second the “lactose intolerant” cowards who try to hide dime-store haterism behind their genetics and intestines, we all stand ever ready to declare undying love for good old thick...
Counterpoint: Oh God, I Think I'm Going To Be Sick
Here, as best I can approximate it in text, is the sound I made when I saw the above photo for the first time: Whuuhhuuhuhhhhhhuulckk. It was the sound of the sudden fear that I might puke. If the internet contains a more distressing photograph than that one, I will just have to take your word for i...
Would You Eat This? I Would Eat This
I don’t remember how, but we stumbled upon this recipe earlier in the week: a “Pepperoni Pizza Football Cheese Ball,” made by our new buddy Trish at Mom on Timeout. There were those on staff who were grossed out by what appears to be a neutron star of meaty cheesy gluttony. I disagree. Actually, the...
12 Root Beers, Ranked
Any of you happy bastards still clinging to the Sober January charade? Me neither, thank goodness, but I do always try to dial the booze back a bit during the darkest stretch of winter. I figure it’s impossible to truly enjoy life during this accursed half-season, so why sully liquor’s good name by ...
Bougie Food Review: Partially Popped Popcorn
Food tastes better when you have to work hard for it—same with drinks. This phenomenon manifests itself in a number of ways. Ice-cold lemonade is never as refreshing as after you’ve spent all day working outside under the baking sun; produce from your own garden is always better than what you buy in...
Nacho Smackdown: Taco Bell Vs. 7-Eleven
Tex-Mex food is increasingly popular in the United States for a number of very good reasons: It caters to our changing demographics, it advances our national agenda of all getting as fat as possible, and it’s relatively simple to execute on a large scale. In fact, it’s so hard to truly ruin a burrit...
Bougie Food Review: Beet Hummus
I discovered beets in a southern Brazil churrascaria just when I needed them most. For a nearly lifelong vegetarian, spending an otherwise life-affirming semester studying in Buenos Aires wasn’t exactly culinary nirvana, given that that corner of the world ranks highest in beef consumption. I quickl...
How To Make Pho, A Heavenly Vietnamese Comfort Food
Even if you’ve never tasted Vietnamese food before, it’s likely you’ve heard of the cuisine’s two most popular foods, bánh mì and pho. Pronounced “fuh” or “foe” depending on the region, the latter is a fragrant noodle soup that’s a great comfort food, especially in the winter. Even a relatively mild...
