A RANDOM LUNCH #12!!!

YES — A Random Lunch is back with a brand new twelfth installment! After days without electricity, Wes dares to consume the Hot Pockets left in the fridge. But that alone wouldn’t make for a Random Lunch, would it?  (7/6/12)

Cocktails with wasabi? Pour me one, good sir!

THE SCARY-CRAYON WASABITINI!

It’s Scary-Crayon’s seventh anniversary — and what better way to celebrate than with a drink? In this article, Wes shares his recipe for the Scary-Crayon Wasabitini… as well as the events that led to its discovery.  (1/25/11)

'Cause regular ice cream is sooooo ten minutes ago. Right.

INCREDIBLE ICE CREAM BEADS?

I’ve never thought of ice cream as boring… but apparently the folks at MolliCoolz were so tired of its rich and creamy texture that they decided to break out the liquid nitrogen and freeze it into tiny beads. Bad idea.  (6/14/09)

The La Tasca Restaurant Review!

TAPAS ARE DELICIOUS.

However, the discussion of the tasty tapas is a minimal part of our “review” of the La Tasca Spanish Tapas Bar & Restaurant. It’s certainly non-traditional as far as dining critiques go. And slightly creepy. It is our way.  (9/19/06)

Mmm... upchuck-y.

They're berry, berry canned!

STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE…?

The culinary insanity in 2006 kicks off with a piece called Strawberry Shortcake…?, which is a slightly misleading title. Similarities aside, this dish is totally not strawberry shortcake. There’s no question about it.  (1/2/06)

The Experimental OYSTER LOAF 2!

The Experimental OYSTER LOAF 2!

Once, long ago, Wes learned of the mythical oyster loaf — a legendarily delicious Hooters menu item. Alas, the dish doesn’t exist, but that hasn’t kept us from trying to create it! BEHOLD! The Experimental Oyster Loaf 2.  (12/1/05)

Not again...!
