Say what you want about marshmallows themselves, but the Stay Puft Marshmallow man is easily our favorite gelatinous, white, animated creation. The Pillsbury Doughboy and the Michelin Man might as well not exist in our [...]

When you buy a bottle of hot sauce, you normally base your decision on one factor and one factor only: Will this make me cry like a little girl? Whether you lean “Mild” or “Someone [...]

Mozzarella sticks, cheese curds and jalapeno poppers are the things that most men reach for at a bar if they aren't reaching for their glass. It's a well known fact that anything with cheese is [...]

Condiments aren't supposed to have rabid fan bases. Such things are reserved for boy bands and European soccer teams. This is not the case when it comes to rooster sauce. Sriracha has excitingly attacked the [...]

Wood-fire grills impart a flavor to our steaks and burgers that is about as irresistible as a "Win a Date with Kate Upton" contest. The problem is, by the time the grill heats up, we've built up [...]

We were the kind of kids who would reach for the mystery flavor in a bag of Dum Dums. We wanted some excitement and danger (pineapple) in the lollipop game since we were sweet-toothed youngins. Now [...]

When it comes to grilling, we try to be purists. We're guilty of the occasional gas cook out of sheer convenience, but we always feel bad about it when we take the first bite out [...]

When we smoke meat, we want it to taste like we just walked into a Parisian jazz bar back in the day—extra, extra smokey. The problem is, due to limited space and our sometimes limited [...]

We don't need to explain to you why beer ice cream is awesome, so we're just going to talk about the different flavors available from the Shark Tank darlings Brewer's Cow. Black and tan pints [...]

Covering anything in chocolate is the dessert version of adding bacon to a dish--it will always make it better. Peanuts? Check. Bacon? Check. Raisins? Check. Ice cream? Check. Brains? Check. Yeah, you read that right. [...]

The utilitarian nature of a titanium spork is usually reason enough to justify owning one, but add some style to it and we’re sold instantly. Triple Aught Design and Snow Peak have teamed up to [...]

Turning the act of consumption into a game doesn't have to lead to Kobayashi-like feats of eating prowess, or a trip to the hospital for a stomach pumping. If done properly, eating and drinking games [...]

Sweet and spicy is the digestible equivalent of yin and yang. Totally opposite ends of the spectrum that somehow come together in a union that defies most logic. Jalapeños are delicious with pizza, nachos and [...]
