Image
Saw this a few weeks back. Idiots are now on sale, for only $4.99/lb. Looks like 99 Ranch market is trying to get rid of these idiots, so you better hurry.

Canned Horror - Whole Chicken & Cheeseburger In A Can!

Image
The Canning industry. A remarkable advancement in food preservation technology developed back in the 1800s. Its help feed impoverished families and starving soldiers. But where do you draw the line? Read more about this atrocity here – the photos are. First a chicken is de-feathered, gutted, beheaded and then dunked into a can and placed on the shelves of Vons for god knows how long. Being a chicken is tough . And yes, you CAN HAZ A CHEEZEBURGER. If you really want.

The Gift of Gluttony

Image
Before you start salivating over the chicken drumsticks and braised pork belly, know that this is unfortunately, inedible. Give the gift that says "You're a computer dork and you're a pig" at the same time. I'd pick the pork belly one because of the current Swine Flu . Until it's safe to eat pork again, I'll enjoy the taste of plastic. You can find these strange products here .

The Official Soundtrack of Valentine's Day

Image
One more day until Valentine's Day and for a lot of people, this silly day means a lot. But with the recession , many people are choosing to stay in and fiddle with the stove and devirginize those Calphalon pots and pans. Tonight is a big night, and things may go well for you and your date. You've ironed your whole Old Navy outfit. You've trimmed your nose hair finally. Chicken is cooked perfectly in the oven. Wine is being uncorked. Ikea candles are lit. You've got way too much cologne but that's okay. But something is awfully dry and weird, and it's not the chicken breast. Where is the ambiance?! Where is the sound of love? This is where I enter with wings, bow/arrow and adult diapers. To really improve the chances of you sealing the deal tonight, I've compiled this erotically disturbing collection of songs/hymns/moanings/wailings that have somehow been interpreted as 'music'. This is all yours for the price of $free.99. Look at what...

Introducing "This Is Why You're Fat" Photo Blog

Image
A great site has surfaced "This Is Why You're Fat." Has anyone eaten anything as atrocious as this? Enjoy, fat people. Also, take a look at this if you haven't already. America's most unhealthy food comes out of the AUS-some kitchens of Outback Steakhouse . This is 2009 and lowering your cholesterol is so 90s.

HObama and The Campaign for Free Food

Image
The satirical publication, The Onion , was quite accurate in describing Obama's victory as President of the United States... "Black Man Given Nation's Worst Job." Without a doubt. Obama gets to tackle the recession due to the national debt, Iraq, Israeli's & Palestinians, the environment, Guantanamo Bay, Mexico's drug war and health care, just to name a few. Quite a load for anyone to take. But Obama has been vocal about change and hope throughout his campaign for the Democratic seat and we believe that it will happen. This is a hard time for him and us as the American people. With the recession going on, we have to cut back on everything. We can't go out as much, we have to conserve resources and sadly, we have to cut back on the amount we eat outside. Harsh. Especially for those who love to eat. That means you, otherwise you wouldn't be on this site. But you know what, (Read the following paragraph with MLK's intense, prolific orat...

Vietnamese Banh Mi Sandwich + Panini Machine = Banhmi-ni

Image
At least once a month, J & I will take her mom down to Little Saigon to go play. Our routine is usually to either eat: Pork Lemongrass Soup Noodles at Bun Bo Hue So 1 ( bun bo hue ) Rice flour crepes stuffed with ground pork at Tay Ho ( banh cuon ) Grilled cured-pork spring rolls at Brodard ( nem nuong ) Grilled dill & turmeric fish at Hanoi Restaurant ( cha ca ) Rice vermicelli soup with tomato & crab at Vien Dong ( bun rieu ) Decisions, decisions, decisions. Even when we're full to the brim from the food of Little Saigon, there's always one last stop: vietnamese sandwiches at Banh Mi Che Cali (Garden Grove location by the 22 freeway). The sandwich is decent, as I prefer it much over the ubiquitous Lee Sandwiches, but they do offer the 3 for $5 deal which even makes old frugal, asian people do a double-take and say, "Damn, that's cheap. how do you live?!" For those new to the Vietnamese sandwich "banh mi", it's a mix of French and V...

Happy Halloween, I mean, Happy Thanksgiving

Image
Right after writing about the bacon narcotic , I got a lot of emails/links regarding bacon. Just too many to post. But this one just had to be posted. It is terrifying to look at, yet I know someone is drooling over his keyboard right now, searching for the recipe on Google. What the HELL is this thing? We've all seen the turducken, but this is simply ridiculous. This looks like a freshly skinned zebra in the Safari. I'm going to have nightmares for as long as I live. Anyway, drink lots of gravy and enjoy the gift of cholesterol! Thanks to Jwong for the pic.

Bacon. The Culinary World's Most Lethal Narcotic.

Image
If you think about it, if there's one ingredient/food that really widens your eyes upon hearing the word, it has to be bacon (unless you're a vegetarian). You're at a restaurant and the waiter is going through his specials for the evening. "Macaroni & cheese. Creamed corn soup. Baked potato skins." Zzzzz. Boring. But what if you added the B-word to these all. "Macaroni & cheese with bacon. Creamed corn soup with bacon. Baked potato skins with bacon." Now things are interesting. I've come to the conclusion that bacon is a drug, you just don't know it. It'll be raising the eyebrows of every DEA agent very soon. Look at how this narcotic has spread through the nation, onto our plates. Google's Krispy Kreme Bacon Cheeseburger (photo from Geeksaresexy.com ) We all know that Google spends a ton of money on fattening up their employees with starch, carbs and fat so they'll forget how much they are actually getting paid.

My Doppelgänger?

Image
I received an email the other day with an interesting attachment. It's a photo of me in a snake shop in Taiwan and someone who looks like me. Crazy. Dress shirt, jeans, watch, camera strap. He even got the mosaic pixelation down in Photoshop too... level 8! Thanks to CL for this. BTW, it's not a miracle to be wearing the same thing as me. I only own one pair of jeans, shirt and uh, boxers.

Sriracha FAIL

Image
On Sunday, I was down in Little Saigon for a monthly trip with J and her mom. While J was experiencing food coma in the car, her mom and I went to the market to buy a few goods. And I saw this... a Sriracha bottle with not only a blue cap, but the icon of a horse/unicorn. Wait a minute! There's NO SUCH THING as unicorns in Vietnam, come on now. Where'd the rooster go? I took a closer look at the company, and it wasn't the original Huy Fong Foods based in Rosemead. This company Vi Hao Food Company took a stab at fooling customers with their version of Sriracha. For some reason, that baby blue cap doesn't look appealing to me – really reminds me of a baby bottle. Anyone try this sauce out? Can you imagine asking the waiter at your favorite pho restaurant: "Excuse me, do you guys have the unicorn sauce? I can't eat my pho without it." It doesn't sound right. But you know what, you never really see products out there with unicorns on it. I...

Stroke of Ingenuity - Introducing the Food Pyramid Lunchbox

Image
Found this on notcot.org and I was immediately hit with the 'why didn't i think of that?' hammer. Check out one of Li Jian Ye's many fun and unique inventions/concepts/ideations. Unfortunately, one can misuse the food pyramid lunch box by adding chili, cheese and fries in the respective tiers. Or simply, gravy soup.

The Village Pet Store & Charcoal Grill - Banksy's The New Chef in New York City

Image
One of my favorite artists has to be the political/controversial, underground street artist known as Banksy . Most consider his art vandalism, but I think it's pure genius. With over 500 counts of vandalism in less than a decade, it's obvious Banksy has something he really wants to tell you. A few years back, I went to his show in Los Angeles in the downtown warehouse district. I waited in a line with over 700 people along with Immaeatchu underneath the beating sun. But man, was it worth it. His biggest exhibit was a real elephant set within a living room environment. The elephant was painted with a brick pattern to match the actual warehouse brick walls. Banksy was addressing the issue of homelessness, saying that literally, "homelessness is something big that we choose to ignore." This time, Banksy has hit something that you and I would be most interested in... food, or the lack of 'real food' or treatment of 'food'. Banksy rented out the sp...

Swedish Fish Candy

Image
Is this a good ad for the gummy Swedish Fish candy we ate as children or something else? Scary thing is that there are actually people out there who would prefer the left. Anthony Bourdain? Eddie Lin? Me? haha.

Yoshinoya: Quality Not Assured

Image
On a scale of 5-stars, Yoshinoya deserves 1-star. Not for the food, which i personally think deserves 3 stars. This 1-star accolade applies to the knuckleheads for their level of customer service at this particular location that operate the establishment known as Yoshinoya... 'authentic' Japanese for non-Japanese. But like Jollibee , there is something intriguing – drawing me back in. The meat is beyond identifiable and could be a cross between donkey or zebra meat... a result of a bad animal cloning project gone awry that somehow made its way into our warm Styrofoam bowls. But man, that (insert mystery meat) juice is tasty. So i go to Yoshinoya on the way home b/c that's where starving people frequent, especially when they have those BOGO free coupons. A whole bowl of zebra/donkey meat, onions and rice soaked in a lagoon of beef fat/soy sauce/msg for under $5. Hey i'm poor and hungry, sign me up please! I walk in and immediately I see one female cashier sporting t...

Jones Soda Company - The Thanksgiving Holiday Pack

Image
The only thing I like about the thanksgiving dinner meal itself, is the gravy. My plate looks like the Brown Sea once I get my hands on that greasy ladel. I literally drink it. Because of my current look (refer to profile photo), I've got to slow down. Thanks to the Jones Soda Company , a brand known for quenching our thirsts with unique flavors has furthered its reputation. Introducing: the Holiday Pack . - Turkey & Gravy Soda - Sweet Potatoes Soda - Dinner Roll Soda - Pea Soda - Antacid Soda I'll probably by some this week and come back with a report.
