Also, don’t name your eatery “The Place.” Might as well call it the “Wet Spot.” And don’t hire a gay guy to pretend to be a straight dominant male.

Don’t know why I hadn’t thought of this myself, but its pure genius.

Burger King’s Bacon Sundae?
Two things that Burger King does poorly, combined into one! Crappy soft serve, drizzled with chocolate syrup and topped with a limp piece of bacon? Hmm, no thanks.
From the DailyMail here:
Now Burger King have come up with an eye-watering rival product of their own that combines sweet and savoury: the Bacon Sundae.
Stomach-crunching: The new Burger King Bacon Sundae, which will go on sale in stores in Nashville, Tennessee
The new product by the fast food giant boasts vanilla ice cream, slathered in fudge sauce and topped with chunks of cooked rashers of salty bacon.
It is currently being tested in Burger King, Nashville, Tennesse, but its popularity will be measured in a selection of their stores across the city to gauge appetite for the product.
The $2.49 dessert is one of a series of new releases by the chain, including sweet potato fries, Caesar salads and strawberry and banana smoothies.

Hot Dog Pizza Crust? Thanks Pizza Hut!
Not sure why we need this. But pizza hut is known for its Frankensteinian creations.
From the DailyMail here:
Nutritionists have slammed Pizza Hut’s invention as ‘completely unnecessary’, warning that the increased levels of salt and saturated fat will make it more unhealthy than a standard pizza.
The retailer has decided to roll out the stomach-swelling offering in the UK instead of the US market.
British pizza lovers will be able to order the dish for delivery only, for the next six weeks.
Since Pizza Hut became the first company to stuff their crusts, there have been a string of copycat varieties, including those with cheese, BBQ, cheesy bite versions and even the garlic bread stuffed crust.

Seared Scallops are Easy
I have a grocery store almost right across the street and they always carry fresh seafood. Now that I know how easy it is to sear some scallops, I might be putting this into my regular meal plans.
And you don’t need clarified butter. Regular butter and olive oil works just fine.

Smokin’ the Butt
The Boston Butt that is. I fired up the grill at 8 AM this morning and tossed 10 pounds of Pork Shoulder Roast on the Weber Grill. Instead of a spray bottle, I am using a ketchup bottle filled with the same Apple Cider marinade I used to inject the pork. Also, instead of putting cider in the drip pan, I use a heavy beer. And a mix of apple and hickory chips for smoke, and by 6 or 8 tonight, this thing should be ready.

Nightmare Fuel: Anthropomorphic Critters Chug Mio in a Bar
Talking critters kinda freak me out. And why would they be drinking flavored water in a place where they sell booze?

The History of Merlot
This is pretty funny if you are a wine drinker. And yeah, I’m still not that much of a merlot fan. Me? I’m a Norton man.

Hic! Besht Martinis Made With Olives Stuffed With Goat Cheese
Been tooling around San Francisco for the past week now and I finally found a bar that sells the best Martinis. Its at the rooftop bar at the Hilton on the 36th floor that features a 360 degree view of the city.
The vodka martinis are usual except for one splendid thing- the large green olives are stuffed with sharp goat cheese! It really makes the martini taste even better!

Your Key Lime pie is definitely not as good as the pie at Key West’s Blue Heaven. The beer bottle is next to the plate to show scale of size of this lovely piece of deliciousness.

Reuben Mac ‘N Cheese Bowl
This looks fantastic. Via UniqueDaily.
“I wanted to come up with a recipe that could be prepared a little more quickly and easily, and I think I’ve done just that with my Reuben Mac & Cheese. I mean, Reuben sandwiches on their own are great, and macaroni and cheese is great, so why not combine the two? So, with that I claimed Swiss as my cheese for this year’s blog and got to work combining it with some pasta, corned beef, sauerkraut and a few other ingredients to create my Reuben macaroni and cheese. And what better way to serve it than inside of a giant loaf of hollowed out rye bread?”

Can’t Wait to Try Bud Light Platinum
About 8 years ago I went to visit the UK. I loved trying all of the new beers and many of them have become my favorite. But believe it or not, the best tasting beer in Britain was Budweiser. Yeah, the same Bud as back here in the states, but over there, the alcohol content was 6%ABV. The higher alcohol content totally changed the way that Budweiser tasted, and I’ve told all my friends that go to the UK to give the American Standard a second look.
I squee’d when I saw this commercial for the new Bud Light Platinum. Not because of the new look, but because I already know how fantastic that beer is going to taste. So thanks, Anheuser-Busch. WTF took so long??
