The popularity of sriracha has been building slowly over the last year and in 2011 it may just hit bacon level proportions. In fact, the only thing that’s been holding the spicy sauce back is that it’s just that – spicy. Assuming you can handle the moderate level of heat, it’s time to start injecting some ... continue reading
It's a widely accepted fact that Brooklyn is a great place. It's the cooler, laid-back younger brother to Manhattan. It's got fantastic bars, great restaurants, and it's almost affordable.

This is, in fact, a recommendation on Cool Material for a cookbook. Booze Cakes is no ordinary cookbook though because it combines two of our most favorite things - booze and cake. When you're trying to sell a book about how to make White Russian Cupcakes and Sex On The Beach Cake you don't really need clever marketing. ... continue reading
The Ramones are one of the greatest bands of all time. VH1, Rolling Stone, Spin, and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame may have taken a while to get on board, but even they agreed eventually. We love The Ramones, we really do. Which is why this is even harder to say. In the biggest pop culture wtf moment since Don Johnson ... continue reading
So we made a mistake. We originally posted this as a Macbook case, which it most definitely isn't. The editor who did this was carried off from his desk by two large men in suits, taken out behind the barn, and sho... verbally reprimanded. Anyway, Das ApfelBrett is a pretty wood cutting board that's made from attractive ... continue reading
We're not sure how it started, but grilling meat sort of became a de facto gauge of a man's substance. If you torch your food into what looks like well-done meteorites, well, that doesn't do any favors for your image as a capable guy (which, if there's a definition of a "guy", it's someone who's capable). If you ... continue reading
Before mustaches were corrupted by god damned hipsters, they were worn proudly by general badasses, pornstars (male), and chefs. The guys behind the Mas Guapo spice blend have taken back the chef-stache and created a mix of organic herbs and spices that will make a variety of dishes go from tasty to $#&@ing slammin'. ... continue reading
You ever go down the sauce aisle at the grocers and find hundreds of hot sauce choices? Each one touts something special, and many of them claiming the ultimate spiciness with labels like "Jimmy's Fire Sauce! (Dispense Only Under Chemical Hood)" or "Bob's Fire Goo, Made from Dragon Farts" or "Frankie's Bottled Lava: ... continue reading
Summertime grilling is fantastic. But let's be honest, dealing with the minutia of pulling together a grill session isn't. You need to tote out your BBQ, get the charcoal, the lighter fluid if you're inept lazy, and then there's the clean-up. Life would be grand(er) if the process were streamlined a bit. And turns ... continue reading
Likely the last time you used a lunch box was when your shoes fastened with Velcro. Turns out lunch boxes have grown up in the time you have; they're no longer tiny boxes adorned with well-muscled heros. Take Stanley's Lunch Box Cooler set for instance. No matter what situation you throw it in--camping trips, tailgates, ... continue reading
Sometimes grilling can be a bit more of a headache than one would like. Getting the charcoal going, minding the coals, not dusting your burgers with ash when you give the fire a stir, etc. And while we appreciate the purist form of grilling involving burning solid matter, sometimes the ease of gas is called for. William-Sonoma's ... continue reading
There are a number of reasons guys love picnics: looking at women running, working on your tan (hopefully that's just what you tell her so you can look at women), and getting drunk in the middle of the day. The problem of course is the fact that when you're done you have to carry everything back. Not with Boxsal Cardboard ... continue reading

As men we are constantly plagued with reminders about what we can't do: put the seat down, don't put your shoes on the table, take out the trash. Well no more. From now on we're putting on shoes on the table whether she likes it or not - even if they're only Jonathan Adler Salt & Pepper Shakers. We might not win ... continue reading
Sliders are a fantastic invention. Their bitty size means you can have like 50 of them and not feel like a bloated fat-ass. Grilling burgers the size of a poker chip involves a shit load of spatula work though, which is the only flip-side (badumpsh!) to the Slider's existence. Solve that one with William-Sonoma's Slider ... continue reading
