On the heels of McCannibal hoaxes and viscera valuation, I couldn’t help but wonder- Wait. Alright. Let’s take a break for you to appreciate why I’m so delighted by such dark topics. (Blame childhood Bugs for everything.) Ahem. So, anyway, what I wondered was what’s the calorie value of cannibalism? Just how much punch does people meat pack? Lucky for me, a study was done by lecturer James Cole in.. Read More
Ramen like a boss
Why do good girls like bad food? I don’t know, personally. Because I’m not good. So I can’t help you there. But I can say I like good food – and while I love fruit, soup will always hold a special burner on my heart stove. In fact, back when Brittany Murphy played The Ramen Girl, I wanted to pack my bags, jet to Japan and become a frock donning.. Read More
King Durian – a slutty fruit fairytale.
I kinda stand up straight like a roman emperor after grocery day. Looking upon my vast and frigid kingdom in a box, the landscape of my gastronomically seductive empire comprises colors that delight the eyes and jump start the belly with all its prismatic glory. There’s water filled fluorescent fruits dotting the shelves hither and thither. There’s enoki, maitake, and whatever the pre-sliced mushrooms are called in the drawers below… Read More
Dinner for 2. $2,000, that is….
So, if you fork out $2,000 for a meal… what would you expect to get? I’m thinking them actual forks better be doing musical numbers. Because that’s exactly how much the fee is to dine at Hard Rock Ibiza’s new restaurant, Sublimotion. The establishment just opened this past May in Playa d’en Bossa and it sounds like the perfect place for the rich and wanna-be-famous to sit around and perform.. Read More
Buttered uppers in a cup: bulletproof coffee
“And would you like skim, whole, soy, or butter in that?” Excuse me? Butter? Yes, that. Apparently, the performance-enhancing legal drug we all know and love is realizing even more of a boost. I dunno if the butterbeers of the Three Broomsticks ever had any better spells than our own libations, but this buttered coffee sure sounds like wizardry. But just because it’s called “bulletproof coffee” doesn’t mean you use.. Read More
Cavendish cadavers: Are bananas going extinct?
First they’re telling me avocados might die, now bananas? You know, fungus is great when it’s adjacent to the produce aisle in Wegmans. I’m obsessed with the shitake, mitake, GeorgeTakei and all the other edible mushrooms my stomach hasn’t met yet. But the kinda fungus that destroys stuff like bananas before it can come sit in the produce aisle? That really cramps my style. And it’ll be putting a cramp.. Read More
Caveman to the cage #frankeffect
Finally. Coffee that will eff my cellulite off. “Frank” is this anthropomorphized coffee scrub I came across when a hot girl I follow on Instagram posted a picture of herself wearing it. Yes, wearing it. At first, I was slightly horrified at the scat-like sight of this beautifully built goddess of my IG feed layered in what looked like ex-lax induced butt fudge. Thusly, the irony of her brilliant while.. Read More
Beam me grub, Scotty!
Screw weight watchers and food diaries. Physics is cutting to the core of calorie counting. Consumer Physics, to be specific. With their new device called Scio, you can monitor every morsel you nom before you wear it as a muffin top. Yes – even the ish that doesn’t come in a bag with those annoying guilt tables on the back. The way this technology works is super simple: *ahem* It’s.. Read More
Shawty, what you drank?
It’s interesting what beverages people aren’t willing to live without. For me, it’s tea and coffee. For most people I know, that bottle glass of vino is vital at the day’s end for sanity maintenance. What’s even more interesting is some of the studies that surface defending over-indulging. I’m all for the daily unwind. Do what you gotta do if it’s not disruptive to everyone around you. But don’t pass.. Read More
Dear Starbucks: Bring back seasonal drinks till it’s warm, thx
Winter in Virginia is like the annoying ex who you think finally got the picture and is leaving you alone. And for like a week or two, it’s nothing but sunshine and windows down and you feel free as a fkkng bird. Then, wham, that bastard Jack Frost comes back like Cusack under your window – boom box, luminaries, and all. (Although the only thing they share in common is.. Read More
