There are more ice cream flavors on the market today than we could ever hope to try—Ben & Jerry's alone is busy cramming caramel swirls and chocolate fish into new concoctions while we speak. What we would like to indulge in however, is some beer flavored ice cream. But before you go running off and dumping a ... continue reading
Anything that can be cooked, grilled or baked can be improved with the addition of alcohol. That isn't a question, it's just common knowledge. Unfortunately, you can't beer batter and deep fry everything in your fridge and expect it to come out delicious. (Note: The fact that you might end up failing doesn't mean you ... continue reading
You probably already know the benefits of using whiskey stones instead of ice in your drink. Basically, they cool your drink without watering it down so you get all the flavor you expect at a bit more pleasant temperature. With these Icon Whiskey Stones, you can add a bit more fun to your boozing experience. Available ... continue reading
We don't remember much from French class outside of "oui" and "Grey Poupon" but we know that when we hear the word "faux" we usually don't get too excited. Who wants a fake anything? Well, when the faux version is more practical and far more useful we can make an exception. This is the case with these Faux Bois ... continue reading
It's been a long time since the only things in your cooking repertoire were grilled cheese and Ramen noodles. It doesn't matter if you learned how to cook to impress a girl, provide for a family or just because you love food—you did. And with that comes an understanding of proper spice application. There's a million ... continue reading
It doesn't matter if you're eating a 16oz ribeye in a five star restaurant or a can of beans around a campfire, if you don't want to be a complete savage you need utensils. Men don't need fine silver, they just need a quality four piece set that has everything they need (fork, spoon, knife and can/bottle opener). This ... continue reading
We didn't even finish reading a full sentence of Batch from Scratch's description of their Black & Tan and we were sold at, "A layer of fudgy decadent stout brownie." This is the kind of snack a beer connoisseur would bake up and we'd gladly devour. If you're not already slobbering like a Pavlovian dog, we'd ... continue reading
Whether it be 4th of July or just a random BBQ, in the summer - in the words of the prophet Andrew W.K. - when it's time to party we will party hard. Summertime bashes have a tendency to last from early afternoon until TBD, and that TBD usually means a few stragglers long after the sun goes down. For the good ... continue reading
One thing we'd love to see return from the ashes is the corner butcher shop (oh, and also Bonkers candy, but that is a separate topic). Sure, some still exist but they have slowly been pushed out by cheap prepackaged supermarket red dot specials. With The Cook And The Butcher you get over 100 great recipes designed ... continue reading
There is a strange law when it comes to food that even when you really like certain foods separately when combined together the sum is not always greater than the parts. In fact, sometimes it is far, far less (peanut butter ketchup cheese sandwiches for example). Yet, there are other times when you least expect ... continue reading
Burnt wieners are never a good thing regardless of how you interpret it. If you're cooking up a few dogs on the grill you can run into this problem for a whole slew of reasons - you got wrapped up in an ultra-competitive wiffle ball game, your buddies were cracking some beers without you or, well, you just suck ... continue reading
What's the shelf life of that Subway sub you're downing at the office? A few days? A week if you stretch it? That's all fine and good when you get some hunger pains but there's one thing you probably didn't think about when you bought that Meatball Marinara - zombies. Yup, zombies. What would happen if the ... continue reading
If you've ever dropped by a Williams-Sonoma and grabbed a catalog, we're sure you quickly noticed that half the stuff isn't found in the store. Sure, they've got the selection of Le Creuset dutch ovens, grilling gizmos and a stock of hand soaps that even a garbageman couldn't go through in a lifetime, but most of ... continue reading
We know that gold chains = respect. We're aware that those guys in the casino mean business and we know that Mr. T is perhaps the greatest human being alive (sorry, Dalai Lama). So, when we saw the reflecting of gold around the neck of our already beloved TABASCO sauce, we knew something good was up. The ... continue reading
As men, there are a few things that tend to be, exclusively, our realm: tire changing, lawn maintenance and grill management. Properly grilling steaks, burgers, other slabs of meat, encased meats, vegetables and anything else (try pizza and taquitos - seriously) isn't just a job, it's a duty. Thanks to modern technological ... continue reading
There are two types of grillers out there - the ones who flip their steaks and burgers constantly like they have meat ADD and those who know that letting the cut of beef sit and cook is the best way of keeping the juices in and ensuring the best flavor. If you're of the latter category, and you should be, but still ... continue reading
