Well, consider my subscription to VegNews Magazine cancelled! As first reported by QuarryGirl, and picked up by the O‘s resident vegan Grant Butler, the all-vegan periodical has been photoshopping non-vegan stock photography to make it look bland and tasteless humane. See this mouthwatering photo of spareribs: Via QuarryGirl.com Now look how unappetizing vegan-friendly it appears […]

Gag Me With A Spoon
Apparently Taco Bell is test marketing shells made from Nacho Cheese Doritos (unequivocally my least favorite “food” on the planet, as anyone who knows me can attest). The new “Doritos Locos Tacos” are only in test markets, so all you disgusting slobs (and my friend Andrew) should hold off getting your hopes up…unless you’re a […]

Are You Guys Lying? Or Am I Lying To Myself?
This poll in the latest Esquire tells me that I drink more often than 94% of American men. Could that really be true? Is the problem that there is no option for 4 to 6 times a week, and we’d rather err on the side of not (admitting to) drinking everyday? The “How Many Drinks […]

OK Cola. What Did It Taste Like Again?
Gastronomica has a piece up today about Coke’s mid-nineties attempt to appeal to Ethan Hawkes’ character from Reality Bites. I had forgotten all about the soda, but I think I liked it? Maybe? I remember that one day a new vending machine was wheeled into Jefferson Middle School, and a couple months later it was […]

At Circa 33 tonight (3348 SE Belmont), Upright Brewing is releasing their brand-new Kopstootje Biere, a collaboration with Bols Genever in effort to make a perfect pairing for the Dutch spirit. Genever is the ancestor of the gin we drink today stateside, and is still popular […]

The 22nd-Century Church
In case you were worried that the secular humanists were going to win the culture war and God-fearing people would be stuck with lame Geo-Cities pages, fear not. Check out the “web presence” of Evangel Cathedral. “Thou shalt go forth and make wicked flash animations and tasty guitar licks in all nations.” -Matthew 28:19

Now Open: Pok Pok Noi
The NE outpost of Andy Ricker’s fish-sauce empire opened this week in the old Podnah’s space on 14th and Prescott. The menu—while not quite as extensive—is pretty familiar territory; most of the favorites are there: Khao Soi Kai, Papaya Pok Pok, Ike’s Vietnamese Fish Sauce Wings, Neua Naam Tok. Unless I’m missing something, no unique […]
