There are a lot of processed foods containing a lot of sugar that don’t really taste particularly sweet. Not too long ago, I took a look at the label on a can of soup I was eating and I actually measured out the level of sugar the label purported the soup to contain. If the labeling was indeed accurate, that 18 oz can…

Loooooooooooooooooooooooong Sigh.

The distance between two places never changes, whereas the time needed to travel between two places is dependent on variable factors. 

I haven’t had Golden Grahams since I was a teenager, but I’m vaguely reminded of the flavor of them every time I eat a date. Golden Grahams have a deeper, more robust sweetness than most other breakfast cereals.

This would be a good present, but how would you be able to get Trump to be in two places at once? 

If the fryer is big enough and full of enough oil, the temperature of the oil won’t matter that much because the oil will be able to absorb the shock from the cold chicken much faster. It’s all about finding that delicate balance, and Willie Mae’s has apparently found it so I won’t argue against their process.

NYC tap might as well be straight from the toilet when compared to glacially-fed water systems out west.

As an outsider, I would like to believe that the pizza eating audience in NYC is somehow more in tune to what good pizza is but I still (without much consensus) hear the locals utter the line “don’t go there, the pizza sucks” too much to assign any special abilities to them. Given the existence of “sucky” pizza places…

This is something that many people (including me) have failed to recognize. The color or perceived richness of a beer has either very little or nothing to do with a beer’s caloric count. The calories are actually coming from the alcohol so the higher the ABV, the more calories a beer will have. Believe me, I’d love to…

What makes you think that Bud Light possesses the defining characteristics of what a beer should taste like? It sounds like you’re applying a generic trademark over to the flavor of beer. Just because Bud Light and most other mass-produced US beers tend to be pale lagers doesn’t mean that American-style lager should…

Hillary Clinton narrowly won Clark County in 2016. It’s not as solidly blue as either Seattle or the Oregon side of metro Portland but it’s not necessarily a fertile ground for Republicans either.

I can die happy now.

Mediocre dance-pop is mediocre dance-pop. Beyoncé isn’t exactly a crowning achievement of art or creativity.

She misplaced her douche again.

I’ve been able to make a similar style of pizza in a cast iron skillet but in order to get any kind of crispiness on the bottom I have to finish the cooking process on the stove top, and even so, there’s a ring of slightly less browned crust towards the edge of the pizza. I bought a cheapo Detroit-style pan online and…

John Stanier was the force that kept Helmet’s sound intact. Page Hamilton is also a highly talented musician and capable of unique guitar tones in his own right but Stanier’s drums just brought everything together.

To me, the only attributes mayo brings to the party are empty calories and an unappealing slickness. Also, most places really go overboard with their application of mayo. You don’t know how many times I’ve watched triple-D and found myself nodding along with everything the cook is doing right up until the point where t…

So you’re saying he’s a stable geni-anus?

I was actually at the game in 1999 where Mo Vaughn reached the upper deck but I couldn’t remember if he actually did it or not. It was the first time I got a chance to attend a game at then-Safeco Field and I seem to remember thinking that third-level homers would be commonplace since it had happened on my watch. The…

Mayo and pineapple on the same sandwich? Why would anyone think to put those two things together? This is the reason why Drew Magary has to go on lengthy diatribes lamenting over mayo’s slow creep into every little culinary nook and cranny, most of where it does not belong.
