Dutch potato chips’ flavor
Been a while since I shared one of these I have lifted from my friends the Derrs. So just what the hell is “Classic Burger” flavor when it comes to potato chips? I’m guessing it’s plain-jane potato (with salt) since … Continue reading
The future of food, part two: Soylent
This “food substitute” has gotten the most attention…in the circles (or bubble if you believe such nonsense) of news I follow, mainly stuff influenced by the Economist, The Nation and scientifically-slanted podcasts. Soylent was also written about by the token tech … Continue reading
The future of food, part one
A couple podcasts I like to listen to have had episodes about the future of food. How much protein we can get from crickets (blech!) and as always, how much meat we chunky Americans need to scale back on. Darn … Continue reading
Dutch Doritos’ flavor
Makes me worry what they call our “regular” flavor and is there an “uncool” American flavor like “Ugly American”…it’s loud, boorish and smells like Fake News!
Frozen pizza in the Netherlands
I’m starting a new subcategory for Pictures called “Dutch Stuff” that will be dedicated to the funny, weird, odd, take your pick, products my friends living there find. To kick it off, one of my favorite foods, pizza. I’m guessing … Continue reading
Italian #31: Domingo (Domenico) Ghirardelli
You probably recognize the surname at the grocery store, high-end candy sections or what reminded me to add him this year…the ice cream/candy place in Las Vegas that is situated between the Linq and Flamingo. It’s a good place to … Continue reading

Here’s a good link from the fine folks at Mental Floss. In Austin, the best places are the smaller chains/mom-and-pop operations: Mighty Fine Dan’s/Fran’s P Terry’s Whataburger, if the above aren’t feasible, namely for time or distance This got me thinking … Continue reading
A new junk food stop for the annual Vegas pilgrimage
Back in 2003, the must-eat junk food stop was Carl’s Jr/Hardees, now we have one in Cedar Park near the Stars’ arena. Next came Raising Cane’s down the street from our timeshare. Those have popped up all over Austin. Steak … Continue reading
Relatively “old” Buzzfeed article on Austin needing some clarity
Let me give a quick clarification on this article since its author is full of crap, like anyone who visits my city and thinks she has it down after spending a week at SXSW. Tacos, yes. Tacodeli is OK, only … Continue reading
Italian #24: Alexandra Guarnaschelli
Alex is the second woman to earn the title Iron Chef (after Cat Cora) but the first to win via competition (see the show The Next Iron Chef). She is also a host on Chopped. I recently learned about Alex courtesy of … Continue reading
Vegas 2013: Day Five, the NFL should play more on Thursday!
The day kicked off with a retro NFL game, the Bears of the Seventies I grew up with made an appearance against the Lions. Well, this was a proxy bet for the Silders’ oldest kid TJ so the bookie will … Continue reading

Saluti! It’s Italian Heritage Month 3 and National Pizza Month
The stars are aligned today! I accidentally posted that cat movie earlier because I didn’t know it was officially National Pizza Month until I was researching further sources for famous Italians and a cool header. Sure it’s a stereotype but pizza … Continue reading
Real Chili surrogate figured out!
Back in Milwaukee, near the Marquette campus, there’s a little restaurant called Real Chili. It was pretty popular as an after hours place to eat since drinking too much can also give you the munchies. However, my friends and I … Continue reading
