Marcela and I don’t always have Christmas gifts for each other every year.

Quick ‘N Eat Flame-Grilled Angus Beef & Turkey Patties
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…
Apple Pie Hot Dog Collab by Guy Fieri + Chevy
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…

Thrillist’s Best Burgers in America & Miami
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.

Why does a Fast Food Burger look better in advertising pictures?
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 featuring Horror Movie Icons
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,…
