Emerald Catron — Tue, 19 Feb 2013 17:51:43 +0000

You know what? Good. We want this guy to puke. He calls himself LA Beast and thinks a shirt that says "SWAG SWAG SWAG" is cool. The only reason we wouldn't want him to puke is that he has a whole YouTube channel that is just footage of him subjecting himself to "Xtreme" food challenges that ultimately result in barf, so we suspect he might actually enjoy throwing up

When you have chicken, some potato chips and a Pepsi you have a meal. Certainly not a square meal, but one most folks could imagine themselves eating at a designated meal time.

If you love unnecessarily elaborate meals and absolutely hate being in good health, we recommend using the recipes from the self-described “d-bags” in this video. First things first, stuff a pig with four other animals stuffed inside each other, then swear at it a little bit (this video is NSFW, btw). Next, make a “lasagna” out [...]

They say a Twinkie could survive a nuclear war. Hostess, the company that makes the treat, no so much. In fact the venerable brand, which has a history stretching back to 1930, has just been shuttered by a labor dispute. This week Hostess bakers went on strike to protest a new contract which had been [...]

The 15 Grossest Instagram Shots of Thanksgiving Dinner

Cameron Simcik — Thu, 15 Nov 2012 19:30:00 +0000

There are tons of things we love about Thanksgiving, like how it’s socially acceptable to dress up as a pilgrim in public. (Other people do that too, right?) Obviously boats full of gravy will trump square-buckled shoes every time though. Unless said gravy has been passed through the Hudson filter on Instagram and made thoroughly unappealing. [...]

We’ve picked 10 very common health mantras you hear everyday and weeded out the worst of the lies, because we want you to eat all the avocados. All of them. 1. [...]

11 Snacks More Dangerous Sounding Than Flamin' Hot Cheetos

Emerald Catron — Wed, 17 Oct 2012 19:34:13 +0000

Several schools across the country have banned Flamin' Hot Cheetos because they are so unhealthy and dangerous to kids. What about these snacks? They seem *at least* as terrifying as something that promises to be hot as fire. It certainly can't be safe for kids to eat these. Also, we want some.

Jeremy Taylor — Sun, 07 Oct 2012 20:15:08 +0000

One the questions Chef John of Food Wishes is asked most frequently: how do chefs manage to flip food in a pan?

Pizza Hut's Latest Crazy Creation: 'Kit Kat Pops'

Cameron Simcik — Sat, 29 Sep 2012 13:30:32 +0000

We’re starting to think Pizza Hut has gone off a crazy cliff recently, what with their introduction of the Cheeseburger Crown Pizza and Cone Crust Pizza.

So when the popular food chain unveiled its latest creation, ‘Kit Kat Pops’, we shouldn’t have been surprised, right? Wrong. This sugary, chocolaty, strangely-looks-a-little-delicious thing came out of left field, once again.

On the strength of playing breakfast meat connoisseur Ron Swanson on 'Parks And Recreation,' we think it's safe to call Nick Offerman a bacon expert.

However, we weren't aware of the depth of his dedication to the cured meat until we saw this video from CollegeHumor. In it, the mustachioed 42-year-old uses slam poetry to pay tribute to the internet's favorite food.
