What would you do if someone dropped an entire cow into your kitchen and said, "Enjoy!" Would you try to hoist the entire thing onto your Weber grill? Would you hack away like some guide in the rainforest with a machete? Would you go to Mickey D's? If you'd feel completely overwhelmed by the prospect without any ... continue reading
In-N-Out. Gray's Papaya. Giordano's. Now you can also include The Meatball Shop on the list of places most people don't have access to every day but wish they did. (Editor's note: Sorry for making you crave pizza, burgers and hotdogs that you can't eat. We're in the same boat.) As you might have already guessed, The ... continue reading

When you first moved into a place with a yard or a balcony, what's the first thing you bought? If you're anything like us, it was a grill. When hunger strikes, it's your duty to grill up various meats and vegetables in order to feed the masses (or yourself). As Grillmaster, there are a few things you're entitled to: ... continue reading
Before they get to copyright information or any sort of Table of Contents, Recipes Every Man Should Know declares, "This book is for hungry guys," so we were like, "Yup, that sounds about right," and picked ourselves up a copy. Even if your kitchen skill-set has progressed beyond, "What's a boning knife and why does ... continue reading
There are but a few things in life that man only needs one of: a quality hammer, a favorite pair of jeans, a reliable winter coat and a cookbook. You're not going to call Triple-A to change your flat, so why rely on someone else to give you the proper nourishment your growing body needs? Once you realize you can follow ... continue reading
Chances are you’ve already fired up the grill once for the season. Even if it isn’t warm yet where you live, it’s the time of year where guys get some sort of pre-programmed urge to ingest the smell of charcoal and flame-licked meat (that sounded oddly sexual).

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
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
It's true: every man should know how to cook meat. Knowing how to change a tire, read a map, use a hammer and yes, cook meat, comes with the territory of having testicles. Truth be told though, cooking meat well--and we don't mean more than medium rare--is actually quite a subtle art. So read up before you turn ... continue reading
In the list of manly things that don't involve gasoline or firearms, nothing ranks higher than chopping wood. It's a trip to the gym that gives you physical results (glamour muscles don't count). More importantly, it gives you a reason to swing around a big ass weapon. The Knife Block brings the same amount of manliness ... continue reading
There are a few questions that every man hates hearing from a woman. Can you please wash the dishes? Do you really need another watch? Do you want bacon on that? Of course you need another watch. You're definitely not doing the dishes. And what kind of question is that? Of course you want bacon! Now you can save on ... continue reading
