Brilliance often comes in a flash, when we realize we have always had the answers to life’s questions right in front of us. To wit: the baconburger, produced by grinding a pound of bacon into loose meat, creating a patty, and frying the whole thing up.
God help me, that actually looks amazing.

New Hot Dog Eating Champ

Takeru Kobayashi’s hot dog eating record has been shattered by newcomer Joey Chestnut, who downed 59-and-a-half hot dogs in 12 minutes to become the new champion. Go America! [San Jose Mercury News]

The Steakhouse Index

Slate’s capable Daniel Gross looks at the falling profit margins of big chain steakhouses, which aren’t exactly dying quite yet—they’re still making a profit—but are clearly taking a hit. For one: increased ethanol production is causing corn prices to spike that could otherwise be used to feed cattle. That’s a good thing in my estimation: cows are supposed to eat grass. [Slate]

Monster Hog Probably Bunk

That “Monster Hog” from last week isn’t as big as it seems, according to Stinky Journalism. It seemed pretty obvious from looking at all the pictures together that it was a big bastard, but not as big as it seemed from the one picture that predominated the news stories. [StinkyJournalism.org]

Victoria Reynolds paints pictures of meat, such as the “Flight of the Reindeer” pictured above. She doesn’t limit her oil-on-panel works to just unprocessed flesh, but also has a few pieces showing what appears to be pimento loaf.
Does her art have any message? I have no clue, but it’s technically excellent and—in case you missed […]

I present to you the triumph of mankind’s dominion over creation: Donald Trump’s new “Trump Steaks,” available exclusively though The Sharper Image. And in ten years, buy The Sharper Image’s Trump™-brand defibrillator.

Deadliest Catch Up

In which we discuss the Discovery series about Alaskan King Crab fisherman, “Deadliest Catch.”
Last night’s episode couldn’t hold up to last week’s, as evidenced by the fact they recapped the rescue from last week for the first ten minutes of the show. But that’s okay—seeing that man they plucked out of the waters lose it […]

Our buddy Vidiot documented his process for making chicken stock and put up an annotated picture set on Flickr. The whole recipe looks good—I especially like his idea of using chicken feet as a cheap collagen source—but I was especially impressed with his technique for storing the stock. After letting the strained stock cool enough […]

For just $7.50, you can own an 8 by 10 of this picture of a man with his champion 425 lb black sea bass that, if the picture can be believed, he caught with a pole.
It looks less ridiculous in the larger versions, I promise, but I didn’t want to take up the whole screen […]

Naked chicks holding booze and steaming offal plucked right from a goat’s carcass—what’s not to like about the party Sony threw to promote the Playstation 2’s last hurrah, “God of War II”? Apparently the dead goat, as animal rights groups are up in arms over party guests being up to their elbows in dead goat […]

Portable Fold-Up BBQ Grill

The larger model of these portable BBQ grills looks far too large to be of any practical use, but the svelte briefcase-sized one looks perfect for clandestine cook-outs in boring meetings, Sunday School, or prison.

Braai: BBQ South Africa-Style

Toolmonger continues their great series of posts on BBQ with this contribution from a South African reader describing “braai,” along with plenty of pictures showing their technique. The basics don’t differ at all from American BBQ essentials—cooking meat on a fire doesn’t get very complex—but braai cooks do tend to add a “potjie,” a metal […]
