I understand most of the toppings on a Chicago-style dog but I have trouble wrapping my brain around why celery salt is necessary. I’ve never eaten a well-dressed hot dog and thought to myself that the one thing it was missing was salt. I do sprinkle celery seed on top of hot dogs from time to time though.

The refs missed a pretty blatant helmet-to-helmet on Wilson in the win over Pittsburgh. Also, a majority of the worst hits Cam’s taken have been on plays where’s he considered a runner and not a QB, so he’s not afforded any protection that comes with staying back in the pocket. As a QB, there are times when getting…

Shaky cheese gets better when one recognizes that it’s essentially vaguely cheese-like salt. I’ve found that one of the best uses for shaky cheese is buttered corn on the cob.

I’ve read about alternative salting on other posts here and decided that when making turkey meatloaf, I could replace most of the added salt with cheap parmesan and tomato paste and it really makes up for the fact that I’m using turkey (don’t judge me on the usage of turkey, I have my reasons.) The savory hit of the…

Fruit’s a gamble, and unfortunately for the avocado, the caloric hit of one is too high for me to justify finishing one that’s not quite up to par. Earlier today I attempted to eat the only avocado left in my fruit bin and I knew it wasn’t going to be very good after I cut it open and scooped it out. I really wanted…

Pudding is actually pretty complicated. To some, it’s a sweet, spoonable dessert but to others, it’s a savory pastry associated with roasted meat.

The combo of cheese and olives doesn’t sound too bad, especially considering that the combo of cheese, olives, and tortilla chips makes for perfectly reasonable nachos. It’s the addition of cucumbers that drags this sandwich into loathsome territory. At least have the presence of mind to ask for pickles instead!

Cincinnati-style chili is much, much closer to being Filipino spaghetti than actual chili con carne. I think the name does it a disservice because when I hear the word “chili”, my brain doesn’t exactly conjure up images of spaghetti covered in a meat sauce and a half pound of cheese. 

I remember the second iteration of the “volcano” taco and they weren’t spicy at all. I had no idea there was an original version, but I also never had Taco Bell until one opened in my town sometime in the mid-90's. Taco Bell’s fire sauce can actually be used as a way to dilute the heat from eating something with…

It’s pretty hard to be petty from beyond the grave.

This shouldn’t end up being too hard. All they have to do is target anyone who voluntarily shows up to one of Trump’s little ego-jerk rallies without a little financial motivation coming their way.

It’s no coincidence that in many cultures, spirituality and entheogenic or hallucinogenic substances are inextricably linked. I’ve had experiences where I’ve only been able to visualize certain things after other people on similar journeys reported seeing them, and I’ve also had experiences where the opposite was…

A big issue is people putting off losing weight for so long that by the time they get around to making an effort, they feel like they need to undergo more drastic measures in order lose what ends up being more weight in a relatively short amount of time. Losing weight very slowly with an increase in activity levels…

I’ve never noticed any kind of lemon zing or tartness coming from the mayo I do end up consuming, but for the most part, if I’m eating something with mayo on it, it’ll be a takeout burger or sandwich that was erroneously prepared and I just didn’t feel like going through the added effort to rectify the mistake. I can…

Mayo is not an essential ingredient in anything at any point in time and the school of thought that raises up a relatively milquetoast condiment as some sort of substance worthy of high genuflection is what really sets us many of us naysayers off. Mayo doesn’t even have much of a flavor to begin with, but I can tell…

If I want ribs, I’m adding baby backs.

This is only the 3rd time I’ve seen this exact same post by you on this article. What’s it like to have the memory of a stuffed tiger?

Shit, I hit the pop culture wall as an upperclassman in high school. Once file sharing programs made it possible for me to seek out music I actually wanted to hear, I had no reason to tune in to the increasingly stale alternative rock stations of the early 00's. I’ve been outta the loop for at least 15 years now.

It hasn’t exactly gotten the rerun treatment that other long-running shows from the same era have gotten though, which sucks because I’d take a few episodes of The Drew Carey Show over Friends just about any time. 

White Claw is 5% and 100 calories per 12 oz, and according to a quick search of other drinks with 5% alc (give or take a few tenths of a percentage point), the 100 calories is the lowest of any of them by a fairly wide margin. That being said, I drank an entire six-pack of White Claw in one sitting and my brain never…
