Independence Day: Stuff Your Face For The 4th
On July 4th, 1776 our forefathers wielding a quill in one hand, and a sandwich in the other, signed the Declaration of Independence. It is only right that tomorrow, on Independence Day, we celebrate accordingly. As Americans we must recognize those who have fought for our freedom to stuff our faces. Across the nation, we will [...]

Summer is hot dog season in the United States, and according to the National Hot Dog & Sausage Council, we will consume over seven billion (or 818 per second) frankfurters between Memorial Day and Labor Day.

As our World Fucking Champion Philadelphia Phillies begin a new season, we take a stroll through the ballpark looking for the best gameday sandwiches.

Friday, April 3, 2009
Surf & Turf, the classic pairing of steak and lobster, is a showcase menu item at many finer restaurants.
