Consumer Reports: “Why Your Favorite Fast Food Sucks/Rules”

The newly released Consumer Reports article isn’t going to shock anyone in terms of what they discovered when rating the fast food world of burgers, pizzas, tacos and chicken. It may shock you to learn that they think (insert your favorite restaurant here) in fact does not have good food, and why the hell are [...]

Tilted Kilt – Chicago, IL

I don’t even know if I can accurately review Tilted Kilt, the recently opened Loop sports bar at 17 N. Wabash.  I mean, for someone like me, I know how to search for all the T&A I need online.  And the best part is it’s free.  I don’t feel obligated to buy an appetizer or [...]

Elephant & Castle – Chicago, IL

Of all the chain-style UK pub houses I’ve been too, I think Elephant & Castle may be the best of the bunch.  Granted, if you can find something that’s a little more authentic, run to that place and make one of the barstools your own.  But for a quick bite and a pint of something [...]

Conquering The Belly Bruiser

Someone finally did it.  A Pennsylvania man spent nearly 5 hours digging into Denny’s Beer Barrel Belly Bruiser, the 15 pound burger (before condiments) I talked about during my Food Competition week. It took Brad Sciullo 4 hours and 39 minutes to finish a marathon. A meat marathon, that is. The 5-foot-11, 180-pound western Pennsylvania [...]

Hot Beef Sundae

Never let your parents tell you again that you can’t have dessert for dinner!  Thank you Nebraska for cracking the code and making the world safe dessert dinner eaters. What comes in a Hot Beef Sundae?  Glad you asked: Golden mashed potatoes covered with a generous portion of our roasted and seasoned-to-perfection top round beef.  [...]

Recipe – Black Bean Sloppy Joes

I love me some sloppy joes.  It’s one of those dishes that fills my childhood memory.  American comfort food was the name of the cooking game when I was growing; nothing different from most other families really.  But a few things still stand out in my mind.  Sloppy Joes are one of them.  The others [...]

Burger King Gets Racy, European Style!

Have you seen the new Burger King placemats popping up across Europe?  You reall should take a look.  They’re priceless.  And as I’ve said, I think Burger King has a corral of some of the perviest, most sexually-repressed graphic designers sitting around coming up with these things.  I mean, between this and the Subservient Chicken, [...]

Eat It! Celebrating Eating Challenges – Day 5

Wow.  A post a day.  I honestly didn’t think that would happen.  This idea started out of a need to force myself into posting more regularly and it seems to have worked.  Apparently while I may hate school I actually need the order and deadlines that it forces me to follow. Day 5 ends this [...]

World’s Smallest Hamburger Combo

To balance out the blog, create a healthy yin to the overeating yang, I present this link to you found over on Crafster.org: “The World’s Smallest Burger, Fries & Soda.” The best part?  It’s absolutely edible.  From the individual slices of micro-cheese to the sneeze and they’ll fly away French fries.  They even made a [...]

Next Week is Eating Competition Week!

The Homewrecker post was such a big hit with friends and web people that I’ve decided for the next week (possibly two), I’ll be featuring all the eating competition and disgustingly oversized meals that have been forwarded my way. If you have your own personal favorite, send me a link at twobitesinsuburbia at gmail dot [...]
