Gizmodo: "
I have dreams about installing a full-on backyard kitchen complete with a wood-fired pizza oven. Alas, those dreams have yet to come true. However, I have never thought about actually building one myself."

Meet the KFC 'double down'... The sandwich consists of two fried chicken fillets wrapped around bacon, cheese and Colonel's sauce."
This is for "health conscious" carb-cutting diet freaks

Can't miss cure from yours truly: 2 eggs over easy, bacon, grilled english muffin and a Sprite.

As if you need an excuse to go to Hooters, they’re offering Fantasy Football leagues a free draft kit when you take your league to your nearest Hooters for this year’s draft.
The only odd thing, is the add I found on Yahoo Fantasy linked to their location finder and had no mention of the draft kit. I have a sinking feeling that when your league arrives at Hooters, they’ll note the “while supplies last” clause in the ad and offer you up some over-priced wings to distract you from your beloved draft kit.

The Gothamist: "
At long last, Brooklyn Brewery brewmaster Garrett Oliver has heard the call of drunken gluttons and is developing a beer made with a special malt smoked in the same room with bacon made by 'the legendary' Allan Benton.
This is even better than the Dog Fish/Sierra announcement!!! There's more on this amazing story at

I think this is the evidence we needed to finally prove bacon has jumped the shark. Don't get wrong, I love me some bacon, but bacon related stuff is starting to overtake stupid cat quotes and I just don't think that's the right path for the world's greatest meat.

A Good Appetite: "
This was a total success, if I do say so myself. The ice cream base has a slight bitter flavor but also a bit of a toffee flavor from the stout. The sweetness of the Heath bar is a good foil to that bitterness while the toffee in it helps bring out more of that toffee flavor. The texture of the ice cream is beautifully creamy making a good base for the crunch of the Heath Bar. This is a flavor I'll definitely make again!"
If it only had bacon...

Not sure if this thing actually works, but for $5-10 it's definitely worth a try.

There must be cheaper ways to grill meatballs, but until I see one, I'm endorsing this one.
