SNACK TIME: Zen for carnivores, ZIP code honey, Waffle House homicide, illustrated food blogs, and the death of a not-so-iconic icon

- Think Zen rock gardens are cool but crave something meatier? How about a Zen Meat Garden? Ranjit Bhatnagar has created these contraptions to keep on your living room coffee table. Nothing like raking a fork through ground beef to settle one's soul.

- Collin Flatt breaks down one of the city's niftiest products: ZIP Code Honey. Annie Baum-Stein partnered with Trey Flemming (a beekeeper whose home base is Two Gander Farm in Fleetwood) to set up apiaries all over the city and harvest the honey for lucky locals.

- What kind of heathen would destroy a Waffle House? One who wants to kill his wife. This dude drove his truck into a Panama City Beach Waffle House in an attempt to murder his better half. Why he couldn't wait for her to get home from her tasty job is beyond me.

- Johanna Kindvall has one heck of a blog: She's a designer who loves to cook, so each of her entries is illustrated. This particular entry is a guest post, but definitely take a look around her site and marvel at the creativity. The shortcuts for topics on the side are my favorite.

- It's about time. Burger King is retiring its creepy "King," who's been haunting the dreams of children for way too long. Why are they dropping him? To focus more on their products.
