Gone are the days of simple peanut butter and jelly. Toast spreading options used to be pretty limited, but with the European invasion of Nutella, Biscoff and the like, there are now many ways to coat your toast in delicious spread. What’s your favorite? No jams or jellys are included here – I figured comparing [...]

Sonic is celebrating National End of School Day on Thursday, May 23rd by offering up corn dogs for 50 cents all day long.Simple food at its finest. A delicious hot dog surrounded in sweet corn batter and fried to a crispy golden brown. Try it with some mustard or ketchup if you want. It’s like hot dog utopia on a stick.

96th Street Steakburgers Indianapolis Airport Location http://www.96thstreetsteakburgers.com/index.cfm Let’s face it, a good burger is difficult to beat. There is no greater disparity between two things of the same name than a good burger and a bad burger.   I haven’t talked about 96th Street Steakburgers since I first reviewed it in April of 2009.   People left a good amount of comments and I discovered you either love it or hate it. What I Ate:  Double  Steakburger Combo; about $6.50 Toasted bun, awesome pickle, crunchy lettuce, cheese, tomato and secret sauce.  It is a great burger.  Nothing fancy, just consistent and always amazing.  I really enjoyed the pickles and the crispy edges on the burger.  They offer a triple, but I think that the double is the perfect ratio. I originally ripped the milkshake, but it has grown on me.  I am not sure I would say if it is the best in the city, but if you say it is your favorite, I would not argue with you. Would I Buy It Again?  Yes.  This is easily my favorite burger in the city under $8 and I might go as far as saying that it my favorite in the city regardless of price. I go there about once a month.  Before you start bitching about the fries, I like those too.  My wife has tried the Taco Burger and The Southwest and both of those are phenomenal as well. I also think that it is a great value.   A $5.00 combo meal from McDonald’s or this?   Not even close my friends.  They had a Crusader Deals Coupon and when Crusader Deals went out of business and they still honored my coupon.  Awesome customer service as well. I am repeating myself, but I really, really enjoy the burger here. -wibia

Don?t get me wrong ? I love Sonic. Anywhere I can order delicious tater tots from the comfort of my car has a special place in my heart. But, I am very disappointed with their new Peanut Butter & Bacon Shake. What could have been a delicious flavor combination (assuming...

And by your cock, I mean your pet chicken. Obviously. Still confused? That’s okay, I’ll walk  you through it. Apparently, the number of chickens kept as pets (and not as poultry) has skyrocketed in the past few years, meaning that there’s an increasing demand for chicken-related pet products. And you know what they say — where there’s chickens, there’s chickensh*t. Enter the reusable chicken diaper: a festively patterned pouch that you wrap around your favorite barnyard fowl to catch all of the less desirable parts of chicken companionship. Because nothing says “love me” like “I am a bird with a thumbnail-sized brain currently strapped to a sack of my own sh*t.” I won’t comment on the odor implications of this particular invention, but the diapers do come in two different colors for maximum versatility. And as for the whole cock vs. chicken confusion earlier . . . Diapers $12.50 @ Pampered Poultry H/T Incredible Things The post Wrap Your Cock in This Reusable Diaper appeared first on Foodbeast.

Popeyes for breakfast. Isn’t is music to your ears? During an “experiment” hosted at a single location in Mooresville, North Carolina, people got to enjoy some of the finer things in life during a two-day testing phase. On May 16 and 17 from 6:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., magic was born. According to the The Huffington Post, the single store offered: grits; bacon, sausage or chicken breakfast wraps; a country fried steak biscuit; a sausage, egg and cheese biscuit; a bacon, egg and cheese biscuit; a “Louisiana’s Best Chicken” biscuit; and a “Blackberry’n Cream Cheese Turnover.” Damn those North Carolinians. But this may not be the first time Popeyes dabbled in the breakfast game. In 2012, a store location in Maryville, Tennessee, gave out breakfast coupons (see pic above). Although, it just so happened to also be April 1, so it may have been a cruel, heartless joke. Currently, the fried chicken powerhouse doesn’t offer breakfast nationwide, minus a few airport locations. And sadly, Alicia Thompson, Popeyes’s vice president of communications and public relations, confirmed to The Huffington Post that there are no immediate plans for national menu changes. “We are testing a breakfast menu in one market. We do not want to speculate as to future plans for the menu,” she said. Why you gotta toy with us like that, Popeyes? Maybe in the near future this dream will become a reality. One can only dream.

The ever-loveble, scrappy up-and-comer in the food industry, underground craft burger favorite, McDonald’s, has rolled out some new burgers as a part of the ‘Dollar Menu and More’ line, which I aptly noticed while huffing and puffing away at the gym, the treadmill still spinning as I leapt off and headed for the golden arches. Take that, cholesterol!The new line splits the section into two parts – ‘Dollar Menu’ featuring items for a dollar or less, and ‘More,’ with selections for slightly over a dollar. Don’t tell me you didn’t see that coming. McDonald’s is burger heavy this quarter, not only releasing three new Quarter Pounders (tantalizingly hidden behind a ‘new product coming soon!’ graphic on the menu) but adding three riffs off the McDouble and McChicken to the ‘More’ section. Pricing-wise, the premium McDoubles will cost you $1.79, while the originals are still only a buck. The Southwest McDouble, Swiss and Dijon McDouble, and Bacon Buffalo McChicken were the ones we tried last night, at midnight, along with an unspecified number of McDoubles as palate cleansers. I told The Bedfellow I wouldn’t divulge this information, but we ate no less than five burgers after we’d eaten dinner. No shame.We started with the Bacon Buffalo McChicken, which was immediately decreed as “so dangerous,” as it offers the flavor and heat of a buffalo chicken wrap for only a dollar, if you forego the bacon. It’s your standard McChicken patty, but is downright lubricated with ranch and buffalo sauce. And…no bacon. Originally, I thought this was supposed to be a cost-cutting measure and that the ‘bacon’ would be in the ranch sauce as a flavoring, but it seems it was omitted. I can vouch that the flavor of the buffalo sauce is no different than that of the sauce for the premium Chicken Selects or McNuggets, but is tasty on a sandwich, too. That being said, it’s extremely messy and the chicken loses its crisp quickly. Would it be improved with bacon? Doubtedly, as the McChicken is pretty rich on its own. The Swiss and Dijon McDouble was arguably the best of the new releases, but still needs improvement. It has a decent balance of acidic elements to counter the richness of the cheeseburger, but only contained a single pickle. A pity, as the bites with pickle were the tastiest. The mustard, while strong for an American palate, does put shame to the fine Dijon mustard of France, and is not up to snuff. Spicy brown mustard has more of a kick than this does. However, as a mustard sauce, it’s recognizable and simplistic in flavor, unmuddled by the other elements of the sandwich. Onions would be a good addition here.The final burger was a trainwreck and tasted like something I’d have come with in the sixth grade before either of my parents got home from work. McDonald’s has taken a page from last year’s Taco Bell crib notes and has incorporated Doritos shards into their burger. These taste nearly identical to those found in the Beefy Crunch Burrito, perhaps a little spicier, and are combined with white cheddar cheese and a Southwestern sauce atop two burger patties. The flavor is pretty awful. Monolithic, greasy, and devoid of any heat or spice. While I applaud the idea of a Southwestern burger- McDonald’s has always been a little late to the game as far as spiciness is concerned, these elements would be better off in a larger burger with lettuce and tomato, or even salsa. Here, they felt haphazard and cheap. The new Dollar Menu is novel and expands the variety a simple buck can buy you, but when all else fails, there’s nothing like a classic. As much as we enjoyed working our way through the burgers in the middle of the night, the McDouble still reigned supreme in our souls and arteries.
