As a child of Seattle, I’m fond of my hometown’s relationship with chicken teriyaki, which is to the Emerald City what cheesesteaks are to Philadelphia and po’boys to New Orleans—a carb-heavy, meat-unabashed, working person’s lunch.
Ben Schwartz is a busy guy. He’s giving cornerstone voice performances in two separate animated series, as Leonardo in Rise Of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Dewey in DuckTales—and, he’s quick to note, he’d be thrilled to play “any other blue iconic ’90s character.” Since letting that bon mot fly, he’s also…
Recently we published a story on whether or not you can still use ground beef that has turned brown (TL;DR: Probably, but if it smells bad it’s got to go). A commenter then posted another interesting question in the is-it-okay-to-eat category: How can you tell when blue cheese goes bad? After all, it smells pretty…
It’s the dog days of August; it’s hot; and back-to-school sales are already happening. You’ve likely already taken your vacation, hopefully fulfilled some things on your summer bucket list (water slides, outdoor concert), and frankly, you’re out of energy to do much except hang out on the sofa with some air…

I have a bit of a shameful fast food habit which, not only keeps me grounded and humble, but keeps my packet drawer stocked with only the finest single-serve condiments. McDonald’s is stingy with their sweet and sour sauce, but Taco Bell is positively generous with their hot sauce, and I have a lot of it.
Sektlaune means, depending on the German-English dictionary you consult, one of the following:
Noodles don’t need a lot of stove time to taste good, which is why they’re a no-fail summer standby. As much as I love cold peanut noodles, sometimes I crave a bowl of silky-sauced pasta laden with vegetables and cheese—without spending an hour simmering that sauce.
San Francisco’s Seven Stills Brewery And Distillery likes a good gimmick. They have an imperial red ale that’s made with “a shitload of Swedish Fish in the barrel.” Another pays tribute to, ah, Twins—the movie, not the baseball team. This whiskey collaboration is calls Four Legs Good and features a pup with angel…
As The Takeout has previously noted, bears this summer are horny, hungry, and ready to party. This has caused them to wander into people-filled places where they wouldn’t ordinarily venture, looking for food and hookups. This wanderlust led a bear into a liquor store in Bristol, Connecticut, where fortunately the…
You ever read something and think, man, someone better have gotten a really big raise out of this? This is one of those times.
Discounted iPads, $10 off motor oil, and $299 custom suits lead off Thursday’s best deals from around the web.
In 2006, Lin Keitch’s ring was lost. It was given to her for her 40th birthday by her husband, Dave, an amethyst in the shape of a heart. Her fingers outgrew it, and so she gifted it to her daughter Sarah, then in her mid-20s. Sarah then lost the ring in the garden. (Fuckin’ kids.) But when does the carrot come in,…
Ohio man Matthew Matheny clearly wasn’t planning on a huge hike when he headed out for Mount St. Helens the morning of August 6. The Washington state friends he was visiting had to work, so he borrowed their car and took off to check out a trail, only wearing a pair of flip-flops. Unfortunately, he got lost, and wound…
No, it is not.
You’d be hard-pressed to find a parent of a toddler who didn’t keep a baggie full of Cheerios on their person at all times for daily snacking emergencies. No doubt parents everywhere will find the news this morning particularly distressing. As Fortune reports, “If you or your children are eating Cheerios right now,…

A few years back, there was a report that wealthy people in Russia were paying over $800 for Japanese square watermelons. In Russia, that’s supposedly 300 times the price of a regular watermelon. But why square Japanese watermelons? That’s so passé!
Cocktail syrup is very easy—some would say “simple”—to make. Dump some sugar in some water, heat it until it dissolves, let it cool. If you want a flavor other than “sweet,” you can boil some sort of plant part in the water to impart something special. However, in the case of ginger syrup, this route can give you a…
Béarnaise falls into the category alongside caviar, truffle oil, and creme fraiche: a rich accompaniment that takes your already rich food and makes it all the richer. Béarnaise is the sauce equivalent of the phrase “go big or go home.” It is gout’s favorite condiment.
