How To Cook Sea Scallops Without Ruining Them: The Case Against Bacon
Step one is hiring a sinister shifty-eyed fellow with a pencil mustache to remove the bacon from your refrigerator and hide it somewhere in your home where you cannot find it. OK, so he does not have to have a pencil mustache. But it will be awesomer if he does....
How To Make Chocolate Pudding, Grown-Up Food For Grownups

How To Make A Simple Goddamn Grilled-Cheese Sandwich
Everywhere we are gussying up our grilled-cheese sandwiches. In fancy restaurants and home kitchens and delicatessens and those insufferable quasi-fast-food joints with the accented, ambiguously Euro names and the friggin' Ray LaMontagne music on the PA and the cutesy, bottled alterna-soda in the co...
Chart: Does Your Choice Of Candy Reveal Your Politics?
We already covered this for booze, but the research firm NMRPP has released a chart showing the political leanings (x-axis) and voter turnout (y-axis) of various major candy brands. Bubble size is proportional to the population of survey respondents who ate each type of candy....

It Is Time To Crown The Ultimate Super Bowl Dip. VOTE VOTE VOTE!
Holy chip-'n'-dip, Batman! What a contest this has been! Guacamole toppled the noble Queso! Classic Salsa slayed the mighty Buffalo Chicken Dip! (We blame the person who posted a recipe for it that called for canned chicken. Canned chicken, you guys.)...
How To Make Wings, Instead Of Letting The Pizza Dude Do It For You
So the Super Bowl is tomorrow, and just as Super Bowl viewership is essentially non-optional for Americans who do not wish to be regarded with open suspicion by their acquaintances and coworkers, the provision of chicken wings is essentially non-optional for Super Bowl party hosts who do not wish to...
Our Booze-Free Month Is Over. Hallelujah!
If you are reading this, you've stuck with us through another Drynuary. And you're probably on the cusp of letting Drynuary ride off into the sunset, like we are! Well, like SOME of us. [COUGH! Jolie! COUGH!] Who is probably reading this through rosé colored glasses....
13 Drinks To Get You Through The Worst Month Of The Year
Did any of you wasters (pretend to) go alcohol-free in January? I know Jolie did, and I considered joining her, because I'm a big proponent of limiting your gross booze intake any way you can. Obviously year-round moderation is the best way to do it, but many of us just aren't wired that way, nor do...
The Ultimate Super Bowl Dip Semifinals Start NOW. VOTE!
We are shocked–SHOCKED!—that #1 seeded Onion Dip went down with the barest of fights, having been roundly trounced by Queso, which took a whopping 65 percent of votes. We also bid a wistful adieu to Spinach & Artichoke Dip and Pico de Gallo....
The Ultimate Super Bowl Dip Divisional Finals Are Here. VOTE NOW!
Onion Dip versus Queso! Guacamole versus Spinach & Artichoke! Classic Salsa versus Pico de Gallo! Buffalo Chicken Dip versus the goddamn 7-Layer Taco Dip you jerks voted in over Crab Dip, despite that being a dumb thing to do! The quarterfinals are here, and you must vote in them....
The Ultimate Super Bowl Dip Divisional Finals Are Upon Us. VOTE!
I joined the guys over on Orlando's 740 The Game yesterday morning to talk about our little dip bracket because my job is ridiculous and so is Florida. You can check out the audio here if you're interested in hearing how I cooked this thing up [GROAN], or what my predictions are for the finals, or h...
Round 2 Of The Ultimate Super Bowl Dip Playoffs Starts NOW! Vote!
We knew a debate on the subject of dip would prove to be a contentious one. And boy howdy, was it ever! Within an hour of posting, a vicious ...
The Ultimate Super Bowl Dip Playoffs
The Super Bowl is about three things, in no particular order because that's not the riot we're here to start today: 1. The Football 2. The Commercials 3. The Food. Maybe The Halftime Show too, but that mostly depends on whether or not we get to see some nipple action....
Marshawn Lynch "Skittle Sausage" Looks Like The Worst Thing Ever
I want to be openminded about this, because I will eat pretty much anything. But the idea of adding a giant bag of Skittles to hot sausage seems as gross at that screengrab looks....
Braised Boneless Short Ribs And A Chat With L'Artusi's Erin Shambura
A few years ago my wife and I were introduced to L'Artusi, an Italian place down on West 10th street in the Village. We rarely have the chance to dine out, but we've been back to L'Artusi a dozen times since that introduction. We feel welcome there—it's a place that makes us happy. The environment ...

We'll Pass, Thanks
This Colorado catering company's bad luck wasn't the unfortunate typo. It was having it spotted by a professional copy editor....
Our Month Without Booze Is Past The Midpoint. Shit's Getting Real.
Week Three. The Wall. We warned you that Week Three would be the hardest. The novelty of Drynuary definitely wears off by now, boredom creeps in with a vengeance, and somehow you have to negotiate the interminable two weeks between the NFL conference championships and the Super Bowl without your fav...
