NFL Lockout Bad News for Wings

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

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.

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.

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

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!

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.

Tower of Tequila at Paradiso 37



Tower of Tequila at Paradiso 37, originally uploaded by BelchSpeak.

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.

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.

grilledcheesemartini

Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup Martini

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?
