Flying is terrible, which is why so many people drink on flights. But a plane is not a bar, which makes imbibing on a plane a somewhat limited experience, cocktail-wise. Though rum & cokes, gin & tonics, and and vodka sodas will do the job, bringing on a little cocktail kit will elevate the plane drinking experience…
As you may or may not know, depending on your relative knowledge of Juggalos, Detroit-based Faygo soda is the Insane Clown Posse’s favorite beverage. Uproxx opines that “it’s thanks to our ICP-loving friends that most Americans even know what Faygo is.” So fans of the Detroit “horrorcore” duo were likely psyched by…
Why didn’t I hear about major changes contained in government’s new meat-processing guidelines? Was I asleep at the wheel of the news bus? Did my Google Alert for “chicken processing” suddenly fail me? No, I was just distracted, as you most likely were. See, the new USDA guidelines dropped Sept. 28, which was the day…
There are just so many things to get in an uproar about these days aren’t there? Climate change, gun control, the upcoming midterm elections, and oh, yeah, emojis that don’t even officially exist yet.
A dispute over the smell of garlic has escalated in one Bristol, England neighborhood. Though tensions have recently heightened in the feud between a resident and the restaurant adjacent to his house, its origins actually date back three decades. Let’s start at the beginning of this now-very-public debacle.
Biting into a crunchy taco, only to have the bottom crack and the fillings spill out, is definitely a tragedy, but it’s preventable: You just need to heat them up a bit.
$100 off a fresh set of tires, Halloween candy galore, and Elevation Lab’s new Anchor Pro headphone holder lead off Tuesday’s best deals.
Credit where credit is due: Arby’s in recent years has turned to sandwiches with “exotic-to-Americans” meats, not because it’s popular to the masses, but because they have the meats and couldn’t give two shits if you object. Who would roll out a venison sandwich nationwide, much less an elk sandwich? What’s next? A…
When you hear a story about a pair of teens who baked something nefarious into some cookies and brought them into their school, you think weed, right? But a pair of kids in Davis, California, possibly raised things up a twisted notch by baking a grandparent’s ashes into cookies and taking them in to share with the…
Greasy-spoon diners (specifically, New Jersey’s Summit Diner and the Mark Twain Restaurant) were the savior of many a bleary-eyed morning for early-20s Kate. When I moved out of the Garden State though, independent diners were supplanted by IHOP, where I soaked up the previous night’s whisky mistakes with fluffy…

Avocados! The star of guacamoles and the butt of hipster toast jokes. For something that’s so buttery and high in fats, it’s a wonder that it’s technically a large berry, and didn’t come from an animal that could be turned into bacon.
Every month has its own flavor. December tastes like candy canes and hot cocoa. March tastes like Shamrock shakes. July is hot dogs and grill char. Then there’s October, when everything is suddenly covered in goddamn pumpkin spice. Who would’ve thought pumpkin would become such an omnipresent gourd? It’s a nearly…
A true Caesar salad dressing gets its rich, salty funk from anchovies, but not everyone eats fish. Shouty purists may insist that those people simply don’t deserve a Caesar salad, but I think that’s a little harsh, especially when you can make a very good vegetarian approximation with blue cheese.
Hi Salty, I just starting working at a small restaurant that’s open for lunch and dinner. It’s not uncommon for me to be the only server on during lunch service, so I have to handle all the tables. The past two weeks, there’s this older couple who came in at the same time, both Fridays, and they ask questions like…
The combination of vivid red and pristine white icing is certainly striking inside a bakery case, but I’ve never been able to point to red velvet cake’s exact flavor. It’s… well… chocolate? Plus frosting? While we’re asking questions, what constitutes red velvet cake—besides its color—in the first place?
It came to my attention this weekend that some people—lookin’ at you, Martha—will be carving non-pumpkin jack-o’-lanterns this month. After my initial shock subsided, I had to grudgingly give it to these rebels—carved pineapples, watermelons, etc. are more likely to get snacked on than carved pumpkins. I usually save…
“Champagne” is more than something for your monocle to fall into when you’re outraged. Though it connotes luxury, there are many less expensive (but lower quality) options you might be fed when you try to get the fizzy stuff for cheap.
The tide began to shift ever so gently the moment I noticed cricket flour at my neighborhood grocer. Cricket flour is exactly that—a gluten-free protein powder substitute with an earthy aftertaste made from ground crickets, which could be used to bake cookies, muffins, and the like.
If there’s a greatest hits chart of general gripes, “selling holiday decorations or products months before said holiday” would have to be pretty high on that list. Skittles has decided to avoid that everyday irritation, that teeth-grinding mistake, by making sure its next big holiday push is being advertised in an…
