      Muncho Monster

        C is not only for cookies. C is also for chips. Did you know that Jim Henson was hired to do the first Munchos potato chips commercials?

        Poutine in a Pitcher

          While a picture is worth a thousand words, this pitcher is worth $22.00. Forget the beer, the cook decided to fill up the pitcher with poutine. Montreal restaurant, Medley Simple Malt, serves up this gut-stuffing decadent meal. I hope they have a long fork to reach down to get the remaining cheese curds.

                  Churro Bugles

                    The best finger foods just got married. Meet Mr. and Mrs. Churro Bugles! Everybody is on the churro bandwagon lately. The corn chips are covered in both salt and sugar. A full-blown cinnamon sugar coating would do better justice to this great idea. It leaves a bitter taste for me, churros should not be sweet and salty. This is just a pretentious Bugle masquerading as a churro. Please get the divorce papers, this union will not last.
