Whether you are trying to impress someone, feed yourself properly, or stop ruining steak, Unfinished Man keeps things simple, useful, and worth tasting.
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
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.
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.
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?)
You ever wish that you had so much money that you could eat gold? I don’t but there are people out there that do. I tell those people not to worry because I have a solution. Now you don’t have to go out to a fancy restaurant and splurge big bucks on a meal that is garnished with with gold or silver flakes. All you got to do is spend the big bucks on a product called Esslack out of Germany. The Deli Garage in Germany has designed an edible gold and silver spray paint that can turn plain food into meals fit for royalty. You can use this spray on just about anything from fruits and vegetables to steaks and cakes.
If you’re a man, which I’m assuming you are because you’re here, then you love Doritos and could probably go on a Doritos only diet for months. You also probably hate the burning sensation you get when you rinse your mouth with mouthwash (not sure how those two things are related). Well, we have something special for you, the Doritos Nacho Cheese flavored SCOPE mouthwash.
Is it real? Obviously not (but I’ve been wrong before), but a man can dream, can’t he?
Ok so many of you reading are probably saying……..oh Eddie not another review! But I feel it is my duty to use this platform to tell you all what you are missing out on!
Food…what does it mean to us? I hear many people say that that they ‘eat to live’, I prefer to ‘live to eat’, I am constantly searching for the best of everything, the best coffee, best fried chicken, best donuts and today I bring you (drum roll) the best pastries!
