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 ...

Let's Make An Enormous Mess, And Also Some Incredible Fried Chicken

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, fu...

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...
I Have Conquered The Meaty Cheese Dip
Recently, I had a specific hankering. A hankering for piling delicious meaty cheese dip onto tortilla chips and ramming them into my face. This is the kind of hankering a fundamentally depraved sort of person has when left alone in a home for more than a couple hours: a dark degradation into self-de...
Actually, Tim Tebow Eating Straight Guac Is Good
Tim Tebow did a good, brave thing today and if no one else will stand with him, then this blog will: There is no sin in eating guacamole straight. Praise him....

Nusret Gökçe owns a chain of Nusr-Et steakhouses, with locations in Turkey and one in Dubai. Because of his unique, tender, sensual preparation of his meat—many examples can be found on his Instagram—he’s recently become something of a meme on the American internet....

We Went To Rural Georgia And Smoked A Ton Of Meat
This week’s episode of Foodspin finds me and Drew in the small town of Unadilla, somewhere in what sure felt like the wilds of rural Georgia, where we visited what can only be described as the compound of famed barbecue master Myron Mixon. (Cue “Dueling Banjos.”) There we learned how to build a pit ...
This Is The Bestest-Ass Pad Thai We’ve Ever Eaten
This week’s Foodspin takes us to Brooklyn. BROOKLYN! Pickled beards! Strollers made from discarded almond husks! Dickheads! You know the deal. Anyway, our cooking master for this episode is stoner food god and former Top Chef contestant Dale Talde, who served us a bacon pad thai that was the best go...
Terry Francona Eats Garbage Late At Night And I Get It
We all (and by “we all” I mean “I”) remember the tale of Cleveland Indians manager Terry Francona eating 17 popsicles in one night. It was his second-greatest achievement after winning the 2004 World Series, and well ahead of winning the 2007 World Series. Over time, it’s clear that Tito has a prope...
How To Make Ginger Pumpkin Crumble And Kill Your Loved Ones With Butter
This week’s episode of Foodspin takes us to historic Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, where Burneko and I sampled Civil War-era game pie and pumpkin fritters. I am going to assume these were pro-Union dishes, and therefore NOT racist food. I assume this even though you can buy a SHITLOAD of Confederate sou...
