It seems that bacon is being formed and then baked (or fried) into more complex and radical food delivery systems.  The next evolution of bacon science appears to be the Baco.  A bacon based tortilla replacement.  I am both horrified and made hungry by this newest step in evolution in food sciences.

No problem!

I like wine.  Someday I want a wine cellar, and no I am not talking about your poor man’s stinking wine fridge.  No, I want to have my monkey butler fetch me my wine… from my cellar. My wine cellar.  Well, maybe I can train my future child to get it from the staircase.  Cause, the staircase is pretty cool.  Screw it, I will get my own damn wine!  Lazy ass monkey butler…

Holy edible circuit board!  This is just the coolest food make ever.  Why couldn’t we have had someone think this up when I was a kid?  This is the kind of nerd fun that arts and crafts time is all about.  Construction paper turkey’s and circuit boards!!  I may have actually learned more about hardware if I had this project 20 years ago… maybe.

Don’t Take The Steamer Tray!! http://www.awesomecon.com/blog/2009/02/sir-dont-take-the-steamer-tray/ http://www.awesomecon.com/blog/2009/02/sir-dont-take-the-steamer-tray/#comments Tue, 10 Feb 2009 07:08:05 +0000 james http://www.awesomecon.com/blog/?p=221 The Double Bacon Hamburger Fatty Melt

Recently I started watching a TV show that highlights the best and worst things about American restaurants.  The show is called, Man Vs. Food and it pits the host Adam Richman against America’s top restaurant eating challenges; things like eating a 72 oz steak in under an hour, or how many 3 pound breakfast tacos can you eat before you die.  Things like that.  Its disgusting, its gluttonous, its pure brilliant awesome USA chanting entertainment!

Man Vs. Food is like the Las Vegas of the Travel Channel… everything that is both right and wrong with America in one giant serving.  In the same vein of MvF, the website, “This Is Why You Are Fat” pays homage to glorious dietary destroyers.  Things no man or woman should ever ingest, yet they do proudly while huming “God Bless America” as a thread of grease drips from the sagging jowls.  Its wonderus, its horrifying… it almost always includes bacon.  Truly, god bless America.

A foodie aggregator

Taste Spotting is a food/reciepe aggregator that has a beautiful food porn-esque UI that features amazing recipes, food reviews and other foodie centric topics.  I recently subscribed to the RSS feed and already some amazing recipes have already flown through.  The first day I found this site I made a fantastic White Bean and Chicken chili that was by far one of the best non-Texas style chilies I have had (originally being from Texas this is an important note).  The RSS is a little busy (lots and lots of content) so this may be more of a bookmark kind of site for most people, but those of you fellow foodies will understand that this has been a wonderful find.

Or at least that is what they claim on the page.  One of the more interesting tidbits is how the site breaks down the class, order and species of the food source.  Special thanks to my sister for pointing to this arctic delicacy.  Yum!
