NFL Lockout Bad News for Wings
Mar 18th
Hot Wings manufacturers (which I guess would be chickens everywhere) are lamenting that the NFL lockout would be bad business for Wing makers.
From WLS here:
With NFL owners and players in a standoff, the CEO of one of the nation’s largest chicken farms warns that a long-lasting football lockout would be bad news for a gameday staple, the chicken wing.
“It will be a major blow,” said Joe Sanderson Jr., CEO of Sanderson Farms, the fourth largest poultry company in the U.S. “If we don’t have Sunday football, the demand will go down tremendously, and of course, if that happens, the price will go down.”
Wings have become too expensive in the past few years. 7 bucks for a 4 pound bag of low quality, young wings is outrageous. If the price comes down, I fail to see how that would be a bad thing.
And with less wings being cut off of chickens, maybe the wings we begin to eat will be meatier and bigger too.
Remembering Burger Chef and Jeff
Mar 18th
Today we drove by the old Burger Chef building in my hometown and I had to explain to my wife what a Burger Chef was. I do remember the restaurant having better tasting burgers than McDonalds, but the store just let itself go and faded away from my hometown in the late 70′s.
Jeff was the pudgy cook’s teenage sidekick or something like that. Not too sure what the actual relationship was, but Jeff had a way of making burger flipping seem like a viable career choice. You can check out Burger Chef’s wiki article here.
The Elvis Burger Exists

Is this delicious or gross?
The Last Breakfast
Mar 6th
This is a great computer animation piece that shows all your favorite cereal characters together at last for a final breakfast. Who is Christ in the piece? Why Cap’n Crunch of course!
You can purchase a copy of this print from Etsy here.
Pasty
Mar 6th
A Cornish Pasty is a meat filled pastry. You can find many of the Cornwall Pasty shops at train terminals in the UK and of course, in Cornwall villages. I snapped a photo of this sign at the pasty shop in Paddington Station.
Epic Sushi Feast
Feb 26th
Im on my way to London so my wife and I partook of our traditional “see ya later” sushi feast in Herndon, VA. 6 separate sushi rolls were way too much for us and even our 3 year old helped out.
Beer! In Space!
Feb 16th
I for one think its about time that we created a beer that can be consumed in comfort in zero gravity. Yay beer!
From ABCnet here:
An Australian brewery has completed the first batch of what might be the most niche beer to be made to date – a beer designed to be drunk in space.
“In space your whole entire face, including your tongue, swells,” says Jaron. “It becomes a lot harder to taste things in space. With all the swelling all of your taste buds become almost a bit numb, in a way,” he says.
Jaron says they’re fairly certain that if space tourists were served a regular beer they would not be able to taste it. Another problem with regular beer is that it can cause burping, which in space can get pretty messy.
“The second thing that can happen in space is what’s called wet burp,” says Jaron. “On earth when you burp, due to the gravity that’s acting on your stomach, the gas and the liquid separate, however in space… the gas and the liquid can both come up during a burp.”
This means a space beer must be low in carbonation.
Awesome Great Times Budweiser Commercial
Feb 5th
Its almost unfair to show something like this in the dead of winter. I was whining today about how badly I miss my grill, and a live ballgame is always a good time.
Four Loko Vineyards

Did you know that the caffienated super booze grows at a vineyard and its celebrity spokesman is Don Johnson? Neither did I!
Tower of Tequila at Paradiso 37
Jan 31st
In Downtown Disney Orlando is Paradiso 37. This bar has overpriced food and pricier tequila drinks. One of the few places I’ve been that will allow you to do a ‘tequila tasting’ just like wine tasting. Most memorable is this huge tower of variants of agave tequila. The colors are spectacular.
Tower of Hooch at Sugars BBQ
Jan 30th
There is something so beautiful about a backlit liquor bar. I don’t drink much liquor but I love the way colored lights play through those amber bottles. I actually have dozens of similar photos on my iPhone. I might upload a few more soon.
Jack Monkey
Jan 29th
Jack Monkey, originally uploaded by BelchSpeak.
I was at AJ’s in Destin Florida during the snowlocaust of Northern Virginia in 2001. I was proudly enjoying the mid-sixties weather and sipping on this thing- The “Jack Monkey.” Its a rum drink mixed with banana liqueur and Jack Daniels. Tasted like a bent pina colada. Oh, and a Shocktop Beer to chase it with. Yeah, it was a good night.
Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup Martini
Jan 26th
Yes, this exists, but only God knows why. A martini infused with rum flavored with grilled cheese sandwich and tomato flavoring.
From the NYTimes blog here:
At Clive’s, a popular craft cocktails joint in Victoria, British Columbia, is an original creation that fuses childhood comfort food and molecular mixology. The result is what he calls a grown-up cocktail equivalent of a “toastie” (an Australianism for a grilled sandwich) and tomato soup.
The bar at Clive’s.Soole starts with his own batch of “grilled cheese rum” — dark, viscous Mt. Gay “washed” overnight with a real-live grilled cheese sandwich, a seeping process to extract essential flavors and infuse them into the rum, before adding fresh-muddled tomato and basil, salt, Lillet Blanc and Glenfiddich Scotch whiskey. The effect is extraordinary: the grilled cheese rum leaps off the palate with flavors of cheddar, bread and butter, mingled with a dark sweetness, while the Lillet Blanc prevents the texture from veering into Bloody Mary territory. Topping the cocktail off with a drop of Glenfiddich adds a hint of off-the-grill smoke and evokes sipping, grilling and dunking.
Yummy? Why not just blend a real grilled cheese sandwich with tomato soup and vodka or rum in a blender with ice?
Its About Time: Canned Whiskey!
Jan 18th
Pure. Whiskey. In a can.
From the DailyMail here:
It is a sight that will have whisky connoisseurs spluttering into their drink – a dram in a can.
A Panama-based company believes outdoor drinkers would prefer to crack open a tin rather than lug round a bottle of their favourite tipple.
Now bosses at Scottish Spirits – which retains an office in Glasgow – is testing out the novelty on its Caribbean and South American markets.
But does it taste good?
1970′s Budweiser Commercial
Jan 11th
Gotta love the Timpani. I have to pin the date of this commercial around 1974 or maybe 75 judging by the silk shirt with the collar outside the jacket. Truly a style that shouldn’t come back.
FailBurger from the Home of the Whopper
Jan 2nd
In the United Kingdom they have just ruined the cheeseburger. They put Brussels Sprouts on it. Gak.
From the Consumerist here:
Brussels sprouts are apparently associated with the holidays in the UK (maybe they are here too, though I’ve never come across it), so the King has created a Whopper topped with sprouts and emmental cheese.
Leftists in San Francisco will get the bright idea to substitute happy meal toys with brussels sprouts now.
