Food & Drink

graduated from Penn State with a Bachelor’s Degree in English, so I’ve developed into a word-nerd of sorts. I also love to eat. So, when I go to a restaurant for the first time, it’s always fun scanning the selection of food and catching some common (and not-so-common) errors, clichés, and painstaking statements of the obvious. Some of these things might be nitpicky, but hey; if a restaurant’s service were faster, there would be no worries about people like me taking a critical eye to the...

The raw food diet is much more than what you have on your plate. Its a new lifestyle, new way how people look on the world, what they feel, who they are. Most people eat cooked meal everyday and they think that they are healthy. I thought the same way few years ago. But I do it not now anymore. The raw style brings much more than healthy living. A peoples think that there is not much difference in that what they eat and what raw foodists eat. But when your review what you eat daily, like...

​ Let's make one thing clear: there's nothing wrong with eating alone. We do it all the time, not just out of necessity but because sometimes it's nice to enjoy a meal in solitude. As for microwave cooking, well, sometimes you're in a hurry and those Trader Joe's veggie corn dogs ARE pretty good. But we wouldn't go so far as Marie T. Smith and cook what might be steak and whatever that glass of Jell-O is, in a microwave. And while we're sure Marie is probably actually a very happy lady, we're...

The 15 day celebration of Chinese New Year (or Lunar New Year, as many Asian cultures refer to it) comes to a close this weekend, and with it, so does my dumpling stash. Resembling little purses stuffed with riches, it is tradition to eat plenty of dumplings during this time because they symbolize prosperity. The more you eat, the more wealth and good fortune will come your way in the New Year. (Maybe I should save a batch to eat right before I do my taxes this year). Dumplings are a bit of a...

At nearly 140 years old, this Coney Island hot dog is in pretty good shape. It was recently found encased in ice underneath the boardwalk's famous Feltman's Kitchen.The restaurant was formerly owned by the inventor of the Coney Island hot dog."Coney Island holds a lot of history of Brooklyn and New York, and for them to find a hot dog is just something to add onto it," said Quincy Cook."That's unbelieveable, finding hot dogs that are 140 years old. That's crazy. To me, that's crazy," said...

Below is a list of 10 foods proven to enhance the brain ’s overall health as well as ensure it is...

1. The NutBurger Hailing from Butte, Montana, this burger is nutty! Many profess that it’s like eating a sundae topping on a burger…if your Sundae topping consists of mayo and nut clusters. 2. The Fattymelt Simply put, it’s a burger crossed with grilled cheese. This heart attack-worthy burger originates from the Mossy Creek Cafe in Fisherville, Virginia. 3. The CCC The CCC stands for the Chili Cheeseburger of Champions. Yes, it’s a challenge even to look at it. Can your body easily metabolize...

Here is something quite strange. Not everybody can look at a lizard and think of how tasty they can be but in the pictures you see a man catching a lizard to do just that. Their population is large enough for people to hunt them down for food. Desert is their habitat and it is quite common to hunt them for food. It is sad that they are killed just for their tails and one can only hope that this killing doesn’t lead to their extinction. These lizards can be found in the desert, hiding under...

Artist Kittiwat Unarrom ’s father owns a bakery in Ratchaburi. To attract attention for the business he creates some of the world’s more unusual breads ! All of Kittiwat’s creations are of human parts of the body in various stages of, shall we say, disrepair! The results are unnervingly realistic with eyes, lips and other details constructed out of cashews, raisins and the like. A lack of hair and blood-like glazes make the work all the more creepy. Sold at his family’s bakery, Thailand, he...

Hot Dogs They're much more than a tailgating staple. In a new paper, the American Academy of Pediatrics says hot dogs are also a choking hazard to children and should come with a warning label. About 17% of food-related asphyxiations in those younger than 10 are caused by hot dogs, according to a 41-state study cited in the paper. The Academy even recommended that hot dogs be redesigned to make it less likely that they will get lodged in the throats of the young. How do you redesign a hot...
