Remember that “Delicious Dish” skit on SNL spoofing an NPR radio show? Molly Shannon and Ana Gasteyer keep telling Pete Schweddy how much they love his balls (cookies). It’s a classic skit, and now it will enjoy a little infamy for inspiring its own ice cream flavor. Those crazy cats at Ben & Jerry’s...

All month long there have been some pretty upsetting rumors that Quaker Oats will be retiring the Cap’n Crunch cereal brand for good. This caused me great distress, because the brand is steeped in nostalgia for me. In my household, we were only allowed to have sugary cereal one time a week. I lived...

Ordinarily I wouldn’t dare post a food-type thing on the likes of this site. It’s not what I do and I know some culinary badasses who do a far superior job blogging about food (like Hilah Cooking! and A Charmed Wife - if you haven’t already, do yourself a favor and check out their awesome sites). ...

While I have been a fan of the Food Network since my first viewing of “Emeril Live!” (Yes, I participated all of that “BAM” nonsense), it has recently been tedious to watch. I have some great tips for improving the channel, so I hope the execs are reading this. Ina Garten of “Barefoot Contessa”...

A few months back, I was wallowing in a cooking slump. I do most of the cooking at home and generally love doing it, but my lack of imagination (and funds) was turning something I had previously enjoyed into a pain in the ass. I was so bored with food and (like many of us are right...

Folks, meet Sonja Thomas, who has not left my thoughts for a second since I read that she consumed 181 chicken wings in 12 minutes at the National Buffalo Wing Eating Contest over the weekend. I’m of average intelligence, but I have spent the better part of a day trying to wrap my head...
