Aug 22nd
Well, look what we have here! To my surprise the WeinerRod was in Salem today. It was empty, but we did get some photos of it, including some with the grubdude Girl, Melanie! Check out the Weinermobile in all it’s beefy glory after the jump, and of course Melanie’s red locks!
10 Gadgets For Guys Who Hate To Cook (But Love to Eat)
Aug 17th
If there is one thing I love just as much as kitchen gadgets its wireless and electronic junk. So, while cruising my daily gadget blogs I found this post at Gizmodo: to echo their posting title, I think you will agree that these gadgets for those who cant (or wont, or hate to) cook are some of the best kitchen gadgets for pumping out quick eats and snacks. I especially love the aresol pancake batter and toaster bags. Though, I am eyeballing that portable microwave and cigarette lighter sandwich maker, too! Check them out – full gallery after the break and, dont forget to check out the full blown at the Gizmodo link below!

Big City Slider (its sweeping the nation, apparently!)
Aug 17th
Its the burger sensation that is sweeping the nation! Well, this is what Billy Mays (or is it Hays?) said on this infomercial I saw this weekend.
I don’t know about anyone reading, but I am just not into medium-sized food. Especially when it comes to hamburgers. I am that person who either wants the sliders from White Castle, or Uno’s, Chili’s, or something.. or I want to get a the heart attach at Fuddruckers. Medium sized burgers are boring and low class. If you want to stuff your face, do it all at once with a gigantic sandwich, or several dozen tiny ones – thats what I say!
When I saw this information I got very excited, as you can imagine. I thought, this makes sense! I just bought the slider press at Williams-Sonoma, and it was about $26! This thing costs $20 and it actually can cook the food for you. All you need is heat! (and some meat…)
Automatic Hot Dog Grill Roller
Aug 5th
Anyone who doesn’t enjoy a hotdog is un-American, and a weirdo. How could you not love the smokey beefage that is a tube-steak? The only questions really is, how do you cook them? You could steam or boil, broil, grill or use a rotisserie. I love the rotisserie because the direct contact with the heat and stainless steel really sears and plumps up the hotdog. The problem with grilling is, the intense hear and uneven cooking (sometimes, depends how your father does it, hahaha) can split the hotdog and cause juice spillage. Ew…
Bacon Alarm Clock: how can this be the first time we’ve seen this?
Jul 31st
I don’t know about anyone else but there are few aromas that perk up the taste buds that bacon does. I have seen alarm clocks you throw to make them shut up, project your star constellation on the ceiling, and even punch you in the face (or sit on your face if you own a pet). But this is some crazy-good idea. An alarm clock that makes you hunrgy, wakes you up and give you the chance to increase your cholesterol all in 5 minutes! I am buying two.
ECOFLAME Portable Grill
Jul 28th
The Ecoflame is a grill hot a BBQ. I wont even get into that discussion (yet). I’ve always wanted a small grill (non-gas) to try out my Lokkii , and I have always loved my burgers griddled better than grilled. There is something about the crusty char of a griddle that freaks my taste buds out. Not to mention I could stuff and cook them better on a grill… mmm, blue cheese, caramelized onions and BACON (of course)!
Lokkii Grilling Briquettes
Jul 28th
Has anyone ever used these? (I mean somewhere near me). I bought a few boxes of these Lokkii but I haven’t had a chance to try them out. Mainly because I don’t have a grill small enough to cook for one person (or two). Actually I don’t own a grill at all. I live in a small apartment, so it doesn’t work out well to own one. According to the site Lokkii burns cleaner and hotter than anything else briquette-wise. This is a serious claim that I am going to have to test out. First, I need to buy a tiny grill. Maybe one of the COBB‘s or the small Weber? Well, either way, I need to light a fire. If anyone has a small grill and wants to give it a go, get in touch!
