Speaking for myself as a kid, the love story between Belle and the Beast in Disney’s Beauty And The Beast was not the highlight of the story. The best part of Belle’s life was her massive library—with two staircases!—and, secondarily, the river valley she sings in, and thirdly, the hybrid ottoman-dog. The Beast was…

Provided you don’t burn it, it’s pretty hard to screw up popcorn—no rancid butter, don’t over-salt, keep it from getting too terribly stale, end of list. It’s also easy to shake up (and not just so the butter makes its way down from the top layer). Think of the classic flavors: Caramel corn! Cheese popcorn! A blend…

Something pretty cool happened yesterday. It took two hours out of my workday, time that could’ve been spent editing your favorite food website, but instead involved 30 pounds of crawfish.

Lutz bakery in my Chicago neighborhood is known for its extravagant seasonal displays: The Christmas window is off-the-hook, but so is the Halloween one. The summer months feature a selection of artistic wedding cakes. And this time of year, Lutz’s lamb cake is on full display.

As reported by Food Business News (and brought to our attention by Esquire), Conagra Brands, Inc.—a company which includes Orville Redenbacher’s, Duncan Hines, Slim Jim, and other brands—is in the process of expanding its reach in the snack world. It’s a big world, the snack world, but we think this particular entrant…

It’s common knowledge that teamwork makes the dream work, but when that dream involves sprinting past 29 other NBA teams on the road to championship glory, sometimes you need a little extra elbow grease. For legendary NBA coach Gregg Popovich (or “Pop”, commonly), who just last week achieved the most wins of any coach…

It’s a good time to be Chrissy Teigen. To be fair, I’m not sure there are that many bad times to be Chrissy Teigen, but if you were going to pick a window, this would be a pretty good one. It started last weekend, when the cookbook author (and Twitter savant) and her husband John Legend celebrated daughter Luna’s…

There were maybe two times in college when I was so miserably hungover that I thought my lunch cravings might constitute an emergency. I never called 911 for delivery—that’s what roommates are for, bless them—but I have a pinch of sympathy for a 5-year-old Michigan boy who dialed 911 to ask the dispatcher to bring him…

We are apparently living in the golden age of people putting liquids that aren’t milk in their cereal. There is, of course, the derided water-on-cereal combo:

Despite humanity’s compulsion to probe ever-deeper into outer space, progress remains slow. After all, to even send an individual into orbit requires millions of dollars, years of training, and countless experiments to ensure their safety. That’s all willing that everything goes according to plan once the launch…

Update, April 19, 2019: Well, he made it. Del Hall consumed only beer during Lent and lived to tell the tale. Hall tells The Cincinnati Enquirer he feels “like I’m in my 20s,” and lost more than 40 pounds. Bravo?

We rolled our eyes when our parents asked “Well, if all your friends jumped off a cliff, would you do it, too?” But I now find myself wondering whether the next Snapchat trend won’t be the “Jump Off A Cliff Challenge.” This week, the latest dumbshit food challenge making the rounds on teens’ social media feeds,…
