Some weeks back, dear readers, I asked you a question.
I’m 30. The average 30-year-old’s relationship to candy—an item most prized by, and most associated with, children who lack impulse control—is usually long-crystallized, our preferences dictated by nostalgia rather than ongoing analysis. But even well into adulthood, some of us feel the pull of a new product on the…
My husband and I recently hosted an all-garlic dinner party, so I had to stand out from the pack with something extremely garlic-forward. The most potent garlic thing I could think of was my friend Stephanie’s skordalia. She offered the chilled potato-garlic-lemon spread to me at work once with some sesame seed bread,…
I know we all cook the majority of our food in Instant Pots now, but you still need to pull out regular cookware on…
I’m just going to say it: We Asians have a fetish with eating things that are very fresh, I’m talking on wrong-side-of-death-fresh. Have you seen these videos of people eating squid sashimi with tentacles still moving? Ones where the suction cups hang on to dear life against the lips of its soon-to-be devourers? I…
Update, May 8, 2019: Sometimes the universe throws you a bone in the form of a fast-food shake. Today, that bone is the Stroopwafel McFlurry, which McDonald’s announced will hit U.S. menus June 5 along with three other “worldwide favorites” from McDonald’s international menus. As rumored last month, those three other…

We see a lot of deals around the web over on Kinja Deals, but these were our ten favorites today.
Besides the act of properly dicing an onion, few food things have been written about as much as the roasted chicken. The reasons for this are obvious—it’s a homey, comforting source of protein that can be riffed on before it goes in the oven, and repurposed for the entire week after. It’s pretty easy to make a good…
Just this week—just this week!—I did a potentially foolish act by spraying Pam cooking spray onto the grilling gates with live fire underneath. It was my first time grilling a whole fish, and one of the suggestions was to spray cooking spray on both the grilling surface and the fish to ensure it won’t stick on one…
Fried food is delicious. Fried food is terrible for you. These are the immutable laws of the universe, cruel as they…
Earlier this year, Gemma Chan snuck cookies and rice cakes into the Oscars in the pockets of her gorgeous pink dress. It was great, but she has been mightily bested, because Tiffany Haddish cooked herself some chicken, threw it in a big old freezer bag, and smuggled into the Met Gala in her zebra-print clutch.
At least 2.2 million people were stoked for the return of Wendy’s spicy chicken nuggets. Amy Schumer and Alyssa Milano are not among them.
For years, studies have established that proper nutrition during the school day is as crucial to a child’s learning and development as any facet of education. In some parts of the U.S., efforts have been made to ensure proper school-day nutrition for all, whether through healthier options or the provision of out-of-sch…
This Lodge cast iron Dutch oven is just $41 today, an all-time low. If you’ve got a big camping trip coming up, this…
Grandparents are riding the CBD wave, too, in particular, one North Carolina great-grandmother whose doctor suggested CBD oil for her arthritis pain. But when that grandmother, 69-year-old Hester Jordan Burkhalter, tried to bring her CBD oil into Disney World, sheriff’s deputies stopped her during a bag check outside…
The free food beat is a tough one sometimes. How does one balance one’s appreciation for a nice complimentary burrito with the knowledge that a giant corporation is exploiting that appreciation in exchange for loads of publicity and the side of chips and guac you’re obviously going to buy to go with said free burrito?…
It’s tough enough for a theme park to distinguish itself in an American market still surprisingly rife with them. In Orlando, it’s far tougher still. Any park hoping to stay alive in such a dog-eat-dog market has to compete with the delights of competition from Disney World to Universal Studios Orlando to The Holy…
I can generally suss out whether a brand is attempting self-parody with a certain ad campaign, but truth be told, I am not certain about Liquid Death. Liquid Death is a new line of 16-ounce canned waters—they look like beer cans—created by a former Netflix creative director and his partners, marketed to the…
Best Buy’s eBay store is offering a 6-piece stainless steel knife set for just $30, right now. That’s a great deal…
My hometown, New Castle, is a Rust Belt immigrant town in rural Pennsyltucky. The bars there, while sometimes nightmarishly backwards, do serve a surprisingly tasty spread of kibbeh, dolmas, and lamb sandwiches. Syrians, Lebanese, Italians, Greeks, Slovaks—they all came over near the front end of the 20th century to…
