TV. Food. Pop Culture.
My orange-colored culinary journey around the world continues! Last week, I detailed my attempts to make butternut squash soup and domoda. Now my cooking adventures take me from East Hampton and Africa all the way to Thailand as I deign to take on one of my favorite curry dishes: panang curry. Sounds daunting. Will I …

As I mentioned last week, Burger King has this nifty new promotion for its new item, the Angry Whopper. Just drop ten friends from Facebook and get a free sandwich! How can I turn that down? Last week, I dispensed of two hapless souls. Over the weekend, I managed to drop four more people. Their …

This could be me. Except white. And male.

(Thank you all again for voting!). Now it’s time for the Bloggies, and I’m determined to get a nomination …

First up in flames: the mysterious Lisa! BURN IN HELL!!!!!

Because of the holidays, I haven’t posted an update on my ongoing series, The Parsley Chronicles (feature film adaptation to star Ben Kingsley and Patti Lupone), but I can assure you there has been plenty of drama. Well, as much drama as a small cup of Ikea parsley can have. Turns out my green thumb …

The bad news: no more Gail for the rest of Top Chef. The good news: we now have a wordy curmudgeon on the panel, and no, I’m not talking about me. I’m talking about Toby Young, who ably  if not bombastically â€â€Ã‚ took over for our dear friend Gail Simmons, who has gone off on …
I love Fail Blog for many reasons, and this video is one of them.
