Things here and there that don’t necessarily fit into one particular category.
I grew up in a family that gave my sister and me well-thought-out Christmas gifts. My Mom, in particular, paid close attention to our childhood obsessions. I remember her battling the holiday hordes to ensure my sister had a Cabbage Patch Kid under the tree for Christmas morning. My parents had an excellent batting average…
After receiving an email asking if I’d like to try Quick ‘N Eat flame-grilled patties I was at a burger crossroads. Number one, I don’t normally respond to anyone asking me to try their products but I was intrigued. I avoid frozen burgers like the plague but I have enjoyed on occasion one here and…
I spend my day deleting pitch emails about products, collaborations, and events I have no interest in. So it was a nice surprise to see one make it to my inbox with Chevy & Guy Fieri teaming up for an Apple Pie Hot Dog. Now, this was something I can get behind. The entire idea…
I’m a big fan of food history and pop culture. Some people discuss the Avengers or Spider-Man in real terms, me? I discuss fictional eating establishments and with that being said, here are my favorite burger joints from film & television. Barth’s Burgery from You Can’t Do That On Television As a kid of the 80s, I…
Earlier this month Thrillist released their Best Burgers in America. “The 47 American Burger Spots You Need to Try Right Now” is not filled with the usual suspects. It gets kinda tiring to see the same names on all of these listicles. I’m not disputing whether some of these gems should be on the list…
I finally got my grubby mitts on the new Pringles & Wendy’s Spicy Chicken collaboration. I’ve been waiting for these fellas since I wrote about them back on May 31st. The original launch date was early June but ended up delayed by almost a month. It’s ok; I forgive them for messing up my entire…
The folks at Jet’s Pizza have given me some t-shirts & gift cards to host a giveaway here on BurgerBeast.com. If you’re not familiar with Jet’s Pizza, I know I wasn’t originally; you should probably read about the debacle when I ordered Pizza Hut’s Detroit-style Pizza. So I’ve got 4 shirts total, two of the…
How about I tell you the story about the best possible McDonald’s burger you can ever hope to eat? I was over the moon with excitement when McDonald’s switch their Quarter Pounders to fresh beef. The new QP did not taste like its previous incarnation any longer. Sure, the same ingredients were there, the sesame…
I was vocal about my love for Pincho Factory or PINCHO, as it is now known since my first visit. There was something different about the vibe there, but I couldn’t quite pinpoint it. Less than a week after their grand opening on November 6th, 2010, I waltzed in. A mutual friend suggested that I…
Several years ago, McDonald’s Canada answered a series of questions about their food. One person inquired about why McDonald’s food looks so different in ads than what the consumer gets at a restaurant. Hope Bagozzi, the director of marketing for McDonald’s Canada, takes us on the journey from buying a burger to Watt Photo Studio….
Dead Sled Coffee caught my eye cause of its Vincent Price Pumpkin Spice coffee. Then after hitting up their website, I realized there was a Bela Lugosi and a Vampira roast. My favorite horror movie icons are mostly old school like Bela, Boris Karloff, Lon Chaney Jr., and Peter Lorre. I didn’t mention Vincent Price,…
Papa John’s is bringing back their Double Cheeseburger Pizza and introducing a new Papadia version too. This pizza is now a cult favorite, so it was about time it was back to the menu even if it is for a limited time.
