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 such a hunger that we consume two full cows. Our guts don't like that. For wood-grilled treats with a bit of urgency no ... continue reading
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 that we're a bit older and marginally more mature, we've upped that intensity by purchasing these Sriracha Lollipops. ... continue reading

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 of whatever meaty concoction we just charred. Charcoal with a chimney is the best way to go, but it's also a pain. Until now. Grill Cube ... continue reading
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 budget, getting that flavor is often easier said than done. If you're like us, and happen to always be on the lookout for a quick ... continue reading
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 made with Guinness. Ten Penny Beer Nut Parfait made with, you guessed it, Ten Penny Ale. Bavarian Beer Brittle pints made with ... continue reading
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. To be fair, though, we're talking about candy brains or walnuts (which happen to look a lot like brains) ... continue reading
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 create the T-Skull Titanium Spork. Compact and strong, it weighs about .6oz and measures 6.5” long. The long handle gives ... continue reading
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 can be fun without being hazardous to your health. The Plate Roulette can help. One of the barrels emblazoned on the ... continue reading
There are certain addictions we just don't buy into. Guys who claim they are sex addicts are really just guys, a woman who claims to be a shopaholic usually just has access to too many credit cards and a chocaholic just has a sweet tooth and a lack of self control. Now if an addiction to chocolate really exists and ... continue reading
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 burgers, but chocolate? Apparently. These gourmet chocolate dipped jalapeños are some sort of mad scientist ... continue reading
Pat LaFrieda is a man that knows his meat. Pat LaFrieda Wholesale Meat Purveyors has been in business since 1922 (it was originally co-founded by his grandfather) and supplies a lot of those restaurants in New York that are too pricey for most of us to ever attend. Point is, the butcher knows a thing or two about the ... continue reading
For most of you reading this, Ramen isn't an acceptable food substitute anymore. Knowing how to grill the perfect patty and slap some cheese on it is a skill, but you need to know your way around a few other dishes as well. We're not going to claim we're anywhere near as talented as Alton Brown or Bobby Flay, but we ... continue reading
There is one downside to owning the best flat-screen TV amongst all your friends—you automatically assume the role of Super Bowl party host. While you have the appropriate viewing apparatus for the game/commercials/Lingerie Bowl, you still have to handle a slew of other duties. Along with adult beverages, you’ve ... continue reading
It's a well known fact in product design that making anything look or feel like a bullet immediately makes it better. Headphones, shot glasses and pens, just to name a few, have all been improved with a little ammunition treatment. You can add salt and pepper shakers to that list now thanks to Karas Kustoms. So what ... continue reading
Figuring out what the fuck you should make for dinner isn’t always as easy as it sounds. Do you make something with meat, or something vegetarian approved? Noodles or rice or salad? Don’t even get us started on the different types of sauces you have available. With the appropriately named What the Fuck Should I ... continue reading
