Not Sure if it was the Sea Salt or the Vinegar

Not Sure if it was the Sea Salt or the Vinegar

I don’t know if you’re thinking about eating an entire bag of these in one sitting, but I’d recommend not. My tongue hates me. I can only taste water.


You and your secrets!

You and your secrets!

I get that you White people like to keep your cool, pop culture discoveries all to yourselves (Whole Foods, the Prius, NPR, the healing properties of acai berries, etc.). But, dammit, one of you should have told me about this Nutella stuff. It’s the bomb. And, my gift to you: We don’t say “it’s the [...]


Mideast Feast from Trader Joe’s

Mideast Feast from Trader Joe's

Just had this for lunch. It was quite mideasty. Not so feasty. I don’t know how the rest of the world likes to pre-package its minute-meals, but this is America. We have the Cheesecake Factory. If you’re gonna bring your lazy food game here, better biggie size it, friend.
I’m going now. Gotta get some food.

Summer Sunday BBQs

Summer Sunday BBQs

This is more of a plea than anything else.
Sundays during the summer are the traditional evening where you get to recoup from whatever you did on Saturday. Things move at a slower pace. If you’re tired enough, you may even be hoodwinked into watching the ABC Sunday Night Movie about teenage pregnancy because [...]


I’m going to Fuddrucker’s for lunch. Who’s in?

I'm going to Fuddrucker's for lunch.  Who's in?

When was the last time you were at Fuddrucker’s? I have to say, it’s nigh on 10 years for me. I don’t remember it being extremely good, I just remember it was like the ultimate haven for creating the burger I wanted. And I dig that. Oddly enough, the topic of [...]


Kate, you’re from Michigan, right?

Minor league ballparks are so much more fun than major league. Why, you ask? Simply because you can get a 4800 calorie burger that is the best elements of hamburgers and nachos thrown together on a bun.
I don’t know about you – but this looks tasty. AND – it’s a deal – [...]


PSA: Keep Your Condiments Fresh

PSA: Keep Your Condiments Fresh

In this season of BBQs, you should know what the half-life of many of the most popular (and even some unpopular) condiments are. Go ahead and print this up, stick it on the fridge, email to your grandma, fax to your brother-in-law – but let’s spread the news, ok guys?
And most importantly, let’s all [...]

Ed Debevic’s Review

Ed Debevic's Review

On a terrible Sunday afternoon, after a morning of working – it’s important to pick the “right place” to refuel. Since we are working in the River North area, the choices of places to eat are great! There’s Planet Hollywood Gino’s East, Hooters, Some Sushi/Deli, Ed Debevic’s… Too many too mention. Today, [...]

And we’ve certainly shared our boxes of wine, haven’t we Danny

And we've certainly shared our boxes of wine, haven't we Danny

I don’t know if it’s a function of the economy, simple shopping or the next new thing but we have that wine cube from Target, and it’s basically a “fancier” box of wine but this time the box is a cube.  The wine’s basically the same as bottled wine, I’m not a wine guy and [...]

We won the game, it’s a good thing I had my lucky hourglass, I only brought it because I couldn’t find my lucky whale.


Can anyone tell me?

Can anyone tell me?

What the difference is between Gatorade, Gatorade Frost, Gatorade Extreme, Gatorade Tiger, Gatorade Rain, and Gatorade Fierce? Remember how they had those three flavors for like fifty years, as if it was simply impossible to flavor Gatorade something other than Green, Orange, or Red flavored. And then one day they came out with Grape and [...]
