It's just about time for the scent of smoke to start wafting from grills around the country. As you prepare to gear up for BBQ season, consider taking your grill game to another level this year. First step, this Tactical BBQ Apron. Forget ever having to run into the house to grab some tool, condiment, or seasoning ... continue reading
There are plenty of jobs that require tools, but most tools have evolved past having a singular purpose. Here's a quick list off the top of our heads: multitools, drills, grilling spatulas, hammers, pliers, the list keeps going for a while. Cooking requires tools too, but unless you're throwing meat on the open flame--i.e. ... continue reading
It might be a rare occasion, but if you have ever dropped your pocket knife in a pond while out camping, you know the annoyance involved in retrieving that sucker. The Cork Knife eliminates any fear of cutting rope on the side of a lake or whittling wood over a creek while you're on your next trip. The cork handle ... continue reading
Before the hipster invasion, Brooklynites were known for having a way of speaking that wasn't characterized by aloofness and cryptic irony. Those from Manhattan's little brother were known for a bit of an accent that seemingly had a hard time ending any word with an "r." As an ode to those fine folks, there are these ... continue reading
You wouldn't spend $65 on this patriotic spatula?? What, do you hate America or something? Okay, frankly, we aren't looking to drop that kind of cash on a spatula either, but we have to admit that the design by Jacob Riley-Wasserman is pretty sweet. Made from stainless steel and American Walnut, the Star Spangled Spatula ... continue reading
Bull Shit. Special Shit. Aw Shit. Good Shit. Hot Shit. Dip Shit. BBQ Shit? Until that last one, we could have just as easily been talking about terms of endearment thrown around during a football game as actual, honest to goodness food seasoning. Seriously. Each of those is a seasoning or a mix about/for (in the original ... continue reading
Right now, we've got a wooden salt keeper on our kitchen counter and the rest of our spices on a rotating platform in a cabinet. And, while we use salt more than any other seasoning, it's annoying to always be digging out the smoked paprika and garlic powder. This Spice Holder from William Sonoma is a rustically masculine ... continue reading
Even though this cutting board looks like it was ripped from the siding of a brick building in Brooklyn, it happens to be a serious piece of kitchen equipment (hence the price tag). It's designed to minimize the amount of beef juice that accumulates in the knife marks you leave by having the grain run toward you. This ... continue reading
There is absolutely nothing practical about this "mini guitar skillet." Normally, kitchenware is supposed to be practical, but we're going to make a special exception in the case of this 11" guitar skillet. Lodge makes this cast iron beauty in their Tennessee foundry and describes it as being perfect for biscuits, ... continue reading
It's some odd law of physics that the spice you are looking for is always the last one you pick up and it's hidden behind three half full jars of cumin. Why you have three jars of cumin, we couldn't tell you. With the Ferris Deluxe Spice Rack, your spices will always be easily accessible. Designed like a Ferris wheel, ... continue reading
Blanket on the grass or the sand. Cool beer within arms reach. Ladies in sundresses or bikinis. Maybe even a good book or some quality tunes. Picnics can be fun, but there always seems to be something missing from the outdoor, day drinking party. The one thing that you need to set it over the top is the smell of cooking ... continue reading
It's finally here! Grilled meat season is upon us ladies and gentlemen. Manning (or womanning) the grill takes a few things: meat (some encased), cold beer, fire, an appetite and tools. Bare minimum, you'll find yourself using a spatula and tongs. Having a stabbing tool for serving purposes is a bonus, but it's not ... continue reading
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 more delicious than anything without, and those three items are the perfect examples. Recreating those same bar finger foods ... 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
Sometimes a product's name really says it all. We're happy to find these because, frankly, it means we don't have to do any work. Take for example Stove In A Can. What is it? Well, you see, it's a stove in a can. Okay, we're gonna hit the bar. Alright, a bit of an explanation is warranted even though Stove In ... continue reading
