From the always amazing This Is Why You're Fat are eggs served in a martini formed from bacon.

A fews ago, a Brooklyn art gallery The Laundromat hosted an exhibition-slash-barbeque featuring conceptual hamburgers created by various local artists.
To quote Vince Vaughn's character Trent from "Swingers," you "always double down-always." Maybe KFC was inspired by that line when they came up with their "Double Down." This sandwich of bacon, Swiss and pepper jack cheese and Colonel's sauce (...), replaces the bread with two fried Original Recipe fillets. It's like a gorging Atkins dieting person's wet dream. The double down is currently being tested in only Providence and Omaha.

This McBeast or the Mega Tamago is available at McDonald's only in Japan. So. Not. Fair.

I've seen this cheeseburger cupcake bounce around some of the food blogs, but at Clay's request it really is worth posting for those of you who may have not seen it. Flickr user KateDW posted the recipe with accompanying (delicious looking) photos. After eating one of these cupcakes, Clay pointed out that he'd probably want to eat a cheeseburger, which would then be followed by another cupcake and so on and so forth for a never ending cycle. In other words, heaven.
I need the future to arrive now, because these Japanese robotic ramen chefs are f'awesome. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5sVOSlUn7e0&fmt=18]
Enter your zip code, grab the wheel, and spin to let the wheel of lunch decide where to eat! Internet Wins Again. [Thanks Annie!]

Who knew the unregulated streets of New York City is a rough and tumble business for food cart vendors, particularly for the recent surge of upscale vendors rolling around the city hawking their food wares. As long as the hot dog punks and Mr Smoothie leaves along my Waffles and Dinges truck we're good. New York Times writes:
“You can set your watch by it: park in a new spot, and within 15 minutes someone will come and check you out,” said Kim Ima, a former actress who owns the Treats Truck. Ms. Ima, one of the first upscale mobile vendors, had the tires of her truck slashed near her bakery soon after opening in 2007. “The street is like the playground when you’re a kid, and you have to learn your way around,” she said. “You have to learn where the sixth graders sit and where the dodgeball game is before you can safely sit and eat your lunch.”
With Fourth of July weekend and the accompanying barbeques around the corner--Long Island and New Jersey for me--The New York Times interviewed 30 chefs to find out what yields the ideal burger. The "simple burger" of our parents generation has evolved into a decidedly gourmet affair.
From This Is Why You're Fat (previously), a site devoted to Frankensteinian creationsm, such as the "flapjack fiasco" that helps explain our country's growing waistlines.
