      Eggslut: Are you eggsperienced?

        You have to go to California or Nevada if you want to dine at Eggslut. Imagine a brioche bun loaded with eggs instead of meat.

The egg is going beyond the breakfast table and taking the spotlight throughout the whole day.

            Mass-a-peel: Banana milk?

              Make room for banana milk, the new kid on the block. I do not know how one goes about milking a banana. However, the alt-milk industry is milking the dairy farmers as an alternative for lactose-intolerant consumers. The grocery milk section is getting crowded with the likes of soy milk, nut milk, pea milk, and oat milk.

              Bringing down the hause with French’s mustard ice-cream

                I am at a loss for words but yet intrigued by French’s mustard ice-cream. Coohaus Ice Cream and French’s have partnered to bring this unlikely ice-cream flavor. Too bad it is only offered in Los Angles, New York City, and the Hamptons. The good folks of French’s have an online recipe if you are not in the vicinity of these cities.

The Wagyu Pastrami Sando is the best combo the cultural diversity that the couple has to offer to unsuspecting stomachs in Brooklyn, New York. Where else did you expect to find Shalom Japan?

                      KFC Chicken Skin

                        The best part of KFC chicken is the skin. KFC Indonesia sells fried chicken skin. I am jealous. Why are our menus so bland. This idea rocks!
