the rise of plastic gloves in food preparation mirrors the stupidity of the state; put a sheen on things, then when reality opposes, worship the sheen. i regularly note oblivious food robots contaminating their gloves and not changing them, but today was a fun twist. (more…)

“First lady“!
WASHINGTON – First lady Michelle Obama is prodding the nation’s restaurants to add more healthy options to menus, label those items more prominently and market nutritious foods to kids.
Speaking to the National Restaurant Association on Monday, Mrs. Obama pleaded with restaurants small and large to take a little butter or cream out of their dishes, use low fat milk and provide apple slices or carrots as a default side dish on the kids’ menu. […]
ya goddamned slice of butt-tastic ugly busybody shit. go fuck yourself, then again for spite. show me in the “constitution” your dumbass husband swore to support where the fuck your ass should be piping up about anything on the dime of the hosts to you, parasite. show me, hag. (more…)
[…] Erik Anderson, who was serving the customers while Scott Czerwinski manned the fry station, got into the carnival midway spirit, hawking the wares and making outrageous claims.
“Would you like to try some deep-fried goodness?” he’d ask a group of passersby. Those customers who dared ask about nutritional information were told, “The calories get fried out.” […]
i love keeping a cooler in my car. have stopped going to restaurants with “waiters” (who mostly suck), and rarely do anything but eat meals i prepare with my portable kitchen — two containers of utensils, spices, etc., including perishables most people wrongly assume must or should be chilled once cut into (e.g., tomatoes, onions).
a small cooler with only 10 pounds of ice can keep food fresh for days in the summer. the drawback is the water; if efficiency’s your thing, the water must stay until it hits the 50s. but water tends to ruin some food. today, i may have found the answer, and it is LOCK & LOCK, baby! (more…)
i predict — assuming free people survive the next few decades — radical changes to cold soft drinks, in the form of dynamic ingredient control. (more…)
if the mass of goonited states poltroons can’t stomach hanging these FDA rats — who, among the least of their crimes, fucked up my and many others’ dining for weeks over this tomato bullshit — what about some ol’ fashioned tar and feathering, then running out on a rail? who’s with me?
or how about some of you restaurant and grocery store owners get a testicle transplant and next time tell the FDA to fuck itself? ooooh, FDA and CDC! oooooh! goddamned servile turds appeared to get off hanging those signs. the usual emergency psychosis. batten down the hatches, boys; alphabet soup headed our way. one asshole at a local restaurant put on his worry face when trying to justify why, long after everyone else was again serving tomatoes, his restaurant was still doing the boogah boogah FDA invocation dance o’ tumult. i’ll never walk in that joint again, and i was happy to not be the only customer pissed off at his quivering “status is orange, people; the status is orange” style schtick, only one step removed from “could tell ya; have to kill ya” guy.
of course, the funniest part about all this is the FDA hacks doing their “oh, it’s okay now” assurance, when that was the same position they had at the start of the outbreak. in other words, what the hell do you need these dipshits for? they say it’s okay at the beginning of the outbreak, they say it’s not safe to eat tomatoes when it is, and then you’re supposed to care what they say after that.

starbucks has plenty of problems, and it’s trendy to piss on the trendy green giant, but since they threw that economics-ignorant “fair trade” coffee on the back burner, i don’t have overriding complaints. starbucks management has also backed me in my endless fight with cops over late night WiFi’ng, telling one complaining cop (who called them the next day pursuing a “loitering” charge or whatever his dumb ass could concoct) that as a paying WiFi customer i was welcome to use their parking lot anytime; the signal’s always on.
anyway… i write this post to praise something starbucks gets right when many others fail: iced tea. (more…)

the christmas miracle, a short story by [______]–
mary- hey joe, im preggers
joseph– but, you’re a virgin
mary- oh i know, can you believe it? it’s a christmas miracle!and so, a two thousand year old religion with over a billion adherents world-wide was born
let us pray. and pass me some o’ dem shrimps. and some swamp chicken.
recently added a new regular meal to my list: veggie burgers. amy’s makes a kickin’ vegan california burger (would link to the specific product, but their site’s messed up right now), and it turns into dining heaven with a good roll, onions, tomato slices, spring mix, plenty of hot sauce, avacado, and pepper. except for the missing grease, which you can fake with olive oil or italian dressing, it tastes surprisingly close to the burger experience i grew up with — not that it needs to to taste good. it has little char pieces or something for texture. me like. you might be surprised by the deliciousness! (more…)
you can walk into a taco bell, order two bean burritos, pile on hot sauce (tres paquetes por burrito es perfecto), and end up stuffed and happy for less than two bucks. vegan? order it fresco style, which also throws in some tasty cilantro.
Looking for lower-fat alternatives at TACO BELL®? You can order anything on our menu “Fresco” Style. When you say “Fresco,” we’ll replace cheese and sauce with our freshly prepared Fiesta Salsa – a zesty mix of diced tomatoes, white onions and cilantro. Fiesta Salsa packs in lots of flavor, but adds only five calories per serving and no fat. So, your TACO BELL favorites become lower in fat.
