Taco Bell recently sent handwritten letters and “custom” rings to a handful of up and coming models and actresses. The rings came in sets of two, with “taco” on one and “bell” on the other. In some cases, invites to Taco Bell’s test kitchens were made. Mmm, Taco Bell, you have that first date swag on lock. A few of the lovely ladies who received these fast food love letters were swimsuit model Chrissy Teigen, Miss California Leah Cecil and actress Jessica Lu, among others. Teigen’s note read: A wise woman once said, “If you liked it then you should have put a ring on it” We like you. So we wanted to give you this custom Taco Bell ring . . . You’re funny, cool and you like Taco Bell. Again with the words, TBell. Upon opening her gift in the mail, MTV’s Awkward actress Lu tweeted the photo below and announced, “I’m off the market. @TacoBell just gave me this ring and I said YES.” Boys, take note. The letters also included a $20 gift card that we hope will be spent on a luxurious amount of Doritos Locos Tacos. We just have one question for you, Taco Bell: Where are our confessions of adoration? We’re heartbroken over here.  Love,  Foodbeast H/T Racked + PicThx @kshaclark, @Chrissy_Teigen, @HiJessicaLu The post Taco Bell Sends B-List Models Love Letters & Jewelry for Being ‘Cool’ appeared first on Foodbeast.

Sonic will be offering corn dogs for a mere 50 cents all day Thursday, May 23rd. Why? Because it’s “National End of School Day,” apparently. So what better way to celebrate freedom and lazy summer days than with our favorite fair food? There is no better way. Exactly. Personally, I’m considering stocking up on enough of these fried delights to last me ’til winter. Hey, a girl needs to eat.

This past Sunday, May 19th, a church located in Ohio offered $25 Chick-fil-A gift cards to every married, “husband and wife” couple. The advertisement (above) promoting this event was posted in a Dayton newspaper and lead with the headline “A Day to Honor Biblical Marriage.” It should be noted that while the ad does feature Chick-fil-A’s classic logo and mascot, the fast food chain told HuffPo in an email that they did not sponsor the event. The cards were reportedly purchased by a local restaurant and donated to the Cornerstone Baptist Temple. Still, it’s unfortunate for a company already infamous for their CEO’s anti-gay statements to be connected to a blatantly prejudiced incident. The controversial ad was originally spotted by Reddit user jking191. The post began an intense discussion, with many commenting that the views of any individual Chick-fil-A restaurant does not support the view of the entire company. A valid point, as just last March a location in California offered free meals to gay marriage supporters during a nearby demonstration.

The McCafé Blueberry Pomegranate Smoothie is the newest addition to the McCafé Smoothie line. The smoothie is made with blueberries, raspberries, pomegranate juice and blended with ice and low-fat yogurt. The smoothie clocks in at 220 calories for a small size.  I spotted the Blueberry Pomegranate Smoothie when it was testing last summer in Texas.  Try a small one for a buck from May 21-23.

As Dude Foods notes, the bacon taco shell has been done before, however, it’s never been done right. Most bacon taco recipes take the “easy way out” and end up looking like a haphazard grade school project of paper mache meat. The result is a square-shaped shell that isn’t very taco-like, nor appetizing. And gosh, where’s the fun it that? Of course, Nick — the man behind behind protein-style quesadillas, bacon nachos and the breadless bacon double cheeseburger – has taken it upon himself to show the masses how to create a proper bacon taco. Following the first steps of his quesadilla recipe, Nick began with a square bacon weave. After cooking the weave in the oven, he cut it into the shape of a circle, then hung it on a few kabob sticks before popping it back into the oven to fully cook. You can get the finer details on how to create this perfect bacon taco shell here. While our bacon connoisseur made the solid choice of stuffing the finished product with the classic taco fillings – ground beef, sour cream, lettuce, tomato and shredded cheese, may we suggest taking it a step further? Use this baby as the outer-shell to the Doritos Locos Taco. Hey, don’t act like you weren’t one of the half billion who swooped up on a late-night DLT.

You can learn a lot from observing other people’s behavior, like learning how to drive, figuring out how to build Ikea furniture or how to tie your shoes (hint: shoestrings are overrated). We figured this motto applied to everything else in life, especially food. So among the basics (the proper way to eat a cupcake, how to eat Chinese takeout, duh), here are five life-changing things you can learn just by watching other people eat. _______________ 5. Cotton candy is a lot more entertaining when eaten in reverse Link 4. How 99% of the world judges how “healthy” food is Link 3. There is no dignified way to eat a taco  Link 2.

In the midst of all the hullaballoo about Kanye West’s SNL performance, his new singles and his upcoming album, we stumbled upon this shining beacon of food comedy: Kanye Chef. The genius Tumblr reimagines what the famous rapper’s lyrics and album art would be like if his only obsession was food and avoiding muffin tops. While you wait for the “Yeezus” (“Cheezus”?) release in June, check this out. ________ “Watch the Cone” Sh*t just got cray cray . . . Well, if Martha said so . . . Kanye Chef will not tolerate a lack of personal hygiene. Not in his kitchen. Beware the muffin top And finally: Continue the hilarity here.
