How To Build a Wood-Fired Pizza Oven In Your Backyard

Saturday, August 29th, 2009
From 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."

KFC Has A Bacon Sandwich That Uses Fried Chicken As “Bread”

Wednesday, August 26th, 2009
kfc-double-downFrom The Consumerist: "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

Hangover CuresFrom Uncrate: "Everyone over does it every once in a while, and when you do, Hangover Cures ($10) will be there to help. Weighing in at a short but sweet 62 pages..."

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

Get a free draft kit when you host your fantasy draft at Hooters?

Friday, August 21st, 2009

hooters-fantasy-footballAs 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.

Bacon Beer By Brooklyn Brewery Will Rule Them All

Sunday, August 16th, 2009
From 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 NYtimes.com ("Either this will be the most amazingly disgusting thing you've ever tasted in your life. Or I shall rule the earth.")

Tru Blood

Tru BloodFrom Uncrate: "Show your fang affiliation by stocking your fridge with Tru Blood ($16). Based on the synthetic blood drink favored by the more civilized vampires of HBO's True Blood, this carbonated..."

If you're not watching True Blood, you should be.

J&D's Bacon Lip Balm

Tuesday, August 4th, 2009
J&D's Bacon Lip BalmFrom Uncrate: "From the makers of Baconnaise and Bacon Salt comes a bacon-flavored product that you don't even have to eat. J&D's Bacon Lip Balm ($13/4-pack) will protect your lips with beeswax..."

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.

Homemade oatmeal stout and Heath Bar ice cream

Friday, July 17th, 2009
oatmeal-stout-ice-creamFrom 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...

EZ Grill

EZ GrillFrom Uncrate: "Instant BBQ. The EZ Grill, available in regular size ($5; 1.81 lbs) and party size ($10; 3.31 lbs), is a portable, disposable grill that lights with one match and cooks..."

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

Meatball Grill Basket

Sunday, June 28th, 2009
Meatball Grill BasketFrom Uncrate: "Now we're talking. The Meatball Grill Basket ($50) helps you grill up 12 tasty, perfectly cooked meatballs. The perforated stainless-steel basket drains excess fat to make you feel a little..."

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