TV. Food. Pop Culture.
The other day, my friend Howie announced that the Artisan Cheese Gallery would be serving his self-created sandwich vision, simply titled “The Howie.” I had no idea what the Artisan Cheese Gallery was, but after some thorough investigation (ie. reading more than the first line of his email), I discovered that it was a neat …

I don’t know how it was for the rest of the country, but the weather in LA this past weekend was fantastic, and what better way to enjoy the sunshine than by stepping out and taking a hike? Inspired by a recent post in LAist about hidden staircases in Hollywood, I recruited two fellow hoofers …

Back in October of last year, I detailed a particularly enjoyable yet sweaty trip to Jitlada Thai Cuisine, a restaurant that is widely regarded as one of the best Thai eateries in Los Angeles. This is thanks in part to its unique Southern Thai menu whose famously delicious (and notoriously spicy) offerings have been well …

UGH. My quest for a free Angry Whopper has become a drawn out affair, no thanks to Burger King, which seems unwilling to hold up its end of the bargain. After four weeks had gone by since I’d dropped ten friends from Facebook as per the rules of the promotion, I decided to call up …

Sacrifice #9: It’s none other than Sherayay from The Real Housewives of Atlanta! And who better to go down in flames than the genius behind She By Sherayay? Well, actually, I can think of one more deserving person, but that won’t be revealed until tomorrow. I suppose I could tell you today, but that would …
We’re getting close to the end here. Today I sacrificed Teri (and a wax version of The Rock), which means I only have two more people to destroy. Who will they be? Stay tuned… In the meantime, BURN, TERI, BURN!!!!!
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 …

Second to go down: “Squirtle Squirtle” Reasoning: This Pokemon-esque creature added me a while back, and for some bizarre reason (probably drunkenness), I added it. I always felt I should drop it, but I knew I’d have to wait for the right moment. I’m glad I waited. 20% there!
First up in flames: the mysterious Lisa! BURN IN HELL!!!!!
Just under eight weeks ago, as part of a Hills promotional tie-in, I posted a contest imploring people to state their worthiness to win $25 of free Sonic fast food. I really didn’t expect much of a response, but I must have vastly overlooked the draw of free food and perhaps underestimated the quality of …
