If you’re looking for a last-minute gift idea for the bacon lover in your life (and let’s face it – who doesn’t love bacon?), then Web Watch wants to be sure that you haven’t missed out on this little gem:
Tag: food
So it’s 2am and you’re really hungry.
Hungry for a killer sandwich, that is. Because nothing else will do, and a standard sandwich – two pieces of bread with some meat and cheese slapped in between – just isn’t going to cut the mustard (no pun intended, of course).
That’s about the time that Web Watch heads over to INSANEWICH to check out the latest concoctions that they’ve come up with.
You wake up every morning and wander down to the local Starbucks outlet and order yourself a double-shot half-mocha latte with extra whip, just to get yourself going. You have a big day ahead, don’t you?
Everyone knows that if you cut back on those $4 fancy coffee drinks every day and brew your own, you’d save yourself about $1000 a year, give or take.
But what people aren’t talking about is how much fat you’re putting into your pants if you just take the drink and plop your ass into the office chair for the rest of the day.
Web Watch has enjoyed watching Gordon Ramsay yell at both potential and actual restaurant employees for years on HELL’S KITCHEN and KITCHEN NIGHTMARES, respectively.
And in the end, we wholeheartedly agree with the yelling, as he is yelling for good reason the majority of the time. All Gordon wants is to bring out the best in people.
So while you may not agree with his methods, you can agree that when it comes to food he does know what he’s talking about.
Which is why FOX has decided to import yet another British series for Ramsay that shows a decidedly softer side of the typically angry chef in GORDON RAMSAY: COOKALONG LIVE, airing live on FOX on December 15th.
Everyone jokes about ubiquitious holiday food, from the green bean casserole to the fruitcake.
But no other holiday food has garnered as much interest as the TURDUCKEN, an epicurean concoction of a deboned chicken stuffed inside of a deboned duck, stuffed inside a turkey.
Web Watch loves a good bagel.
We know that the best bagel places are always right next door to the city’s best chinese restaurants. We don’t know why this is (shrimp & lobster sauce is kosher, right?), but we’ve seen the two together more often than not.
So of course we read THE HISTORY OF THE BAGEL GUILLOTINE SLICER in the Wall Street Journal, where we learned about the most dangerous foods that cause the most emergency room visits.
Dear Pizza Hut, Domino’s, Papa John’s… and all you mom-and-pop pizza places that are still out there:
Web Watch loves pizza.
We’ve eaten quite a few of your pizzas, and have usually enjoyed them. Large, 1-topping pizzas. Small deluxe pies. Extra thin crust, deep-dish. Meat lovers, vegetarian, supreme, barbeque chicken – we’ve had them all.
But there is a disturbing trend that we feel needs to be pointed out: your employees are gross. And gross employees lead to consistently gross pizza.
And it is because of this regular gross pizza experience, Web Watch has stopped ordering pizza from you for delivery.
If you are a family with kids and you’re on a budget, eating out can definitely be a problem. Kids just want to eat, and don’t necessarily have the concept down about eating within a budget. They just point at the macaroni-and-cheese, chicken fingers, fries (and other brown and tan foods without a vegetable in sight) and say “I want that!”
This is why the Disney Dining Plan that offers a “pay-one-price” for all members of your family is so popular. Families on those massively-planned-out Disney trips can go to any restaurant on property and tell the kids to “eat whatever you want”, because the meal has already been paid for.
And yes, those kids are in for a shock when they return to the real world and discover that they can’t just eat anything on the menu again. It’s just another way Disney makes a vacation seem more special.
So what can families do to continue that type of “eat anything you want” Disney magic when they’re dining out with the kids again once they’re back at home?
