Hot Rod Engine Grill In Red Metal

Hot Rod Grills – Carbecue?

Hot Rod Grill car engine barbecueGuys love cars, guys love food; if we break it down a step further, guys love engines, and guys love barbecuing. Since we’re heading into spring and we’ve already given you the heads up on some gorgeous new grills to get your steak sauce flowing (especially on March 14th), we thought you might enjoy this gem: The Ultimate Grill, by Hot Rod Grills. Scaled 1:1 with a hot rod engine, this awesome piece brings the garage to your yard by looking exactly like an engine on a stand. Flip it open, and you have 30,000 BTU at your disposal; you’ll be the envy of everyone at the tailgate, because as we all know, more power means more awesome. Plus, if you’ve ever wanted to look manly and interesting by working on a car but can’t figure out how to hold a wrench, you’ll be able to use a set of barbecue tongs with this bad boy, and you’ll be looking just as macho. The excess steam is even vented out the side pipes. If you’re looking for accessories, Hot Rod Grills also carries corn cob holders shaped like spark plugs, and connecting rod skewers. Manly entertaining just got a whole lot cooler.

Cane Sugar Soda from Avery's Soda

Sodagusting – Disgusting Flavored Avery’s Soda

Ever wonder what Bug Barf, Dog Drool, Monster Mucus, or Swamp Juice tasted like? Glad I’m not the only one who was curious about such things. Avery’s Soda has been pumping out soda pop since 1904 using cane sugar, well water, and the company continues to use glass bottles to preserve the old-fashioned flavor.

The new line of soda, “Totally Gross Sodas”, is inspired by young sound makers in Avery’s ‘Make Your Own Soda’ program. The disgusting concoctions they came up with include the above mentioned as well as flavors such as Toxic Slime, Kitty Piddle, Fungal Fruit, and Zombie Brain Juice.

chicken cooked over volcanic pit

El Diablo – The Volcanic Restaurant of Lanzarote

Have you ever wondered what volcano charred chicken would taste like? Perhaps some tender beef, sauteed over a deep volcanic well? If you’re up for a bit of travel, adventure, and volcanic food, El Diablo on the Spanish island of Lanzarote might be just the place you’re looking for.

Built on top of a dormant (but still very hot) volcanic site in the Timanfaya National Park, tourists can sit back and relax as chefs cook their meals on grills built above deep volcanic pits. As you’ll see in the

Barbeque Like A Man With The Kalamazoo K900

Kalamazoo K900 Hybrid Grill

Summer is less than a month away and what says summer better than a barbeque.  If you don’t already have a barbeque or are looking for a really awesome barbeque grill, then the Kalamazoo K900 is the grill for you.

The Kalamazoo K900 is probably the manliest barbeque grill I have ever seen.  The K900 is a hybrid grill (no, not like the Toyota Prius), it can cook with gas, charcoal or wood.  This is achieved by the slide out grill feature which lets users slide in and out the various drawers depending on what they’re in the mood for cooking with.

The handy self stirring electric pot

A Lending Hand – Self Stirring Electric Pot

The handy self stirring electric pot

I admit it, I can’t cook worth shit. And anytime I have attempted to cook, it usually turns into a disaster- mainly because I wasn’t paying much attention and I ended up burning whatever was on the stove.

The multi-purpose Self Stirring Electric Pot is perfect for lazy and inexperienced cooks like me, and millions of other men out there. The self stirring pot is a great idea, and it’s always nice to have a third hand around. The electric pot features adjustable temperature, between 200º F and 375º F. The best part of this pot, of course, is the built in spatula at the bottom of the pot which rotates at a steady pace. This not only saves you from having to do all the stirring but also makes sure that your food will no longer be over cooked or burnt to a crisp.

Heavent Sent Fried Chiken Strips e1340823485629

KF Who? Heaven Sent Fried Chicken

It’s time for the colonel to step aside and let someone else take the Fried Chicken throne as there is definitely a new bad boy in town. One cold March morning as I was stuck in Seattle traffic and musing over the daily grind, I happen to look to the right and my eye was caught by a ‘now open’ sign for a fried chicken restaurant. I think it was the ‘Est. 1984’ claim that got me curious but all I know is that I felt an overwhelming urge to get in there and try that chicken!

It would be two weeks until I actually had the opportunity to go into ‘heaven sent’ and diffuse my curiosity. When you first enter the restaurant there is nothing to show that there is anything special inside. The décor is pretty average and the pictures of live chickens framed around the restaurant are kind of a turn off (do I really need to see that poor innocent chicken before it goes into my belly?)
