SNACK TIME: Bourdain acknowledges his neglect of Philly, who wants to eat Metallica?, camping cookware for the outdoors-inept, Pizza Brain in moving pictures, Marmite is gone, and a haunted supermarket.
SNACK TIME: Bourdain acknowledges his neglect of Philly, who wants to eat Metallica?, camping cookware for the outdoors-inept, Pizza Brain in moving pictures, Marmite is gone, and a haunted supermarket.
- You know how Anthony Bourdain has featured virtually every city in the world on his shows except Philadelphia? Well, it looks like our time might be coming soon. Perhaps sparked by a tweet from Marc Vetri last year, Bourdain is considering filming here. Though his quote from Eater seems to imply he's hard-pressed to figure out what he could actually feature on the show. Hmph.
- If you've ever wanted to find out what Metallica tastes like, a food truck in L.A. has got you covered. Grill 'Em All, a culinary goof on Kill 'Em All, features a Jump in the Fryer burger to honor the band. It seems James Hetfield and Co. taste like fried chicken, burger meat, cheese, maple syrup and sriracha on waffle buns.
- Uncrate posted about an outdoor oven/stove combo, released by Coleman, for campers who aren't into cooking over an open fire. The thing is pretty much a toaster oven with a range on top. Uncrate says: "Yes, it kind of defeats the purpose behind camping, but if 'reconnecting with nature' isn't your thing, you'll be glad to reconnect with a frozen pizza."
- I don't think I need to explain Pizza Brain to you guys, considering you're reading this post and if you're reading this post that means you read Meal Ticket and Meal Ticket <3s Pizza Brain. But here's a cool interview with Brian "Brain" Dwyer himself.
- What do you think of when you think of New Zealand? Dead Alive, Flight of the Conchords and Marmite, right? Cross Marmite off your list because the country is running out of it. An earthquake shook NZ last year, putting the Marmite factory out of commission. People are now taking advantage of the rare commodity and selling it online for exorbitant prices.
- Videogum writer Kelly Conaboy posted an article about an alleged ghost haunting an Australian supermarket. Need evidence? The market's security cameras caught a Fruit Roll-Up fall off the shelves, seemingly unprovoked. The ghost is thought to be that of a man who was shot and killed outside of the supermarket in 1998. Maybe he's one of those mean ghosts who takes all the Marmite.
