SNACK TIME: A sassy ol' food writer, Biggie on food, Coors Light Iced T, throw one back to spite Santorum, an après-dinner dog, tacos in your ramen, Rustica's out $1200
- Marilyn Hagerty, a food writer in Grand Forks, North Dakota, was just doing her job by writing this review of the newest and hottest restaurant in town, Olive Garden. The internet seemed to have caught on to the piece and how it reflects a simpler way of life 'round those parts, and Camille Dodero of Village Voice interviewed Hagerty about her new-found popularity. Hagerty is a sassy bitch, ladies and gentlemen, and I like her for that.
- Little old ladies from the Dakotas aren't the only inconspicuous food writers out there — we got rappers, too. Francis Lam wrote this poignant piece on the Notorious B.I.G.'s use of food imagery in his lyrics, from recalling his sparse childhood meals to boasting about the expensive bubbly he drank.
- The creative geniuses over at Molson Coors are coming out with an inventive new product, Coors Light Iced T. Not to be confused with Ice-T, the beverage doesn't actually contain any iced tea, just extra chemicals to give the beer the flavor of the summertime drink. I know you're excited, but it won't be available in America for a bit. They're giving it a test run in Canada first.
- If you don't know the alternate non-Rick meaning of Santorum, you're going to have to ask Dan Savage. Or just read this article about a bar in Park Slope that's capitalized on the, ahem, descriptive definition.
- Tapping into the hot dog hype in the area, Cherry Hill's Cool Dog Café has put a new twist on the game. They're offering a dessert dog, a deep-fried weenie with peanut butter, brownie, caramel and chocolate syrup on top. Phoodie is as skeptical as we are, even after watching the how-to vid.
- Speaking of food hype: Perhaps the ramen mongers in town should take note of Cup Noodle's new product in Japan, taco-flavored ramen.
- Poor Rustica Pizza. Some jagweed called in an order costing upward of $1,200 on Super Bowl Sunday as a prank. Owner Frank Maimone is getting the runaround from Verizon, whom he contacted to find out who placed the fake order, and the Philly cops. Verizon won't give up the phone records without a police report and the police won't create a report because the loss was less than $2,000. Crossing our fingers for you over here, Frank.
