Everyone has their “spot” when it comes to Chinese food. It’s their go-to place. You don’t really need a reason, you don’t even need to have a another individual, and you’ve probably been going to it for years. Today, I went to “my spot”, “Ho-Toys Chinese Food” in Anaheim. It’s staffed with angry and sour Chinese ladies, but the MSG never tasted better. Join up as I procrastinate:
Mars Inc., under fire for yet another “controversial” commercial which depicts a speedwalker being attacked by Mr. T for not being manly enough. Apparently, the Human Rights Corporation and members of the GLBT (Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual Transgender) deemed the ad inappropriate and homophobic. (Thx ADVOCATE)

When thinking healthy, a lot of people jump right to the conclusion that Subway is the only healthy fast food option. We may not be completely naive, considering that there has been little promotion and hype surrounding Taco Bell’s well rounded “healthy” menu (called “fresco”). It’s time it got the attention it deserves. Now you can truly get health-ier food on the go, just swing through your local Taco Bell drive-thru and get one of 9 new menu items that are 8 grams of fat or less, and none surpass the 330 calorie mark. They have shaved some of the fat and calories by substituting cheese and other heavy-weight options with a delicious fresh salsa. So next time you want a cheap and healthy alternative, look no further than Taco Bell. Don’t get caught sleepin’ on the Fresco Menu.
Ever have that friend who stiffs you with a tab, askin’ you for a few dollars, is lazy, or any combination of those adjectives? Tell him/her/it to get a job, or start hustlin’. If you have to, show him this video…cause there should be no excuse for not having enough money to purchase your own Sour Patch Kids and soda now. Food can indeed save you. Eat on.
In collaboration with the Cheesecake Factory and the National Cheesecake Day on July 30th, 2008, the 30 year old restaurant chain will be celebrating their love of dessert by giving out cheesecake slices at $1.50 all day! Additionally, the celebration continues on this day with a limited edition cake promptly titled, “30th Anniversary Chocolate Cake Cheesecake”. Eat on! (Thx CheeseCakeFactory)
The “Monster Breakfast Sandwich” is Carl’s Jr.’s latest breakfast menu addition. Loaded to the brim with a charboiled hamburger patty, two levels of eggs, bacon and cheese, the theme behind this new item is “filling, filling, filling”. This far-from-cute sandwich will retail around $2.89 alone, or $4.49 when it collaborates as part of a combo. (Thx FastFoodFever)
A little over a week ago, we put out a call for your own Foodbeast experience! We got some super interesting pieces, so I decided I would feature one of the winning entries by Zugey, from Whittier, CA. Utilizing a thorough writeup and some fun pictures to match, she and a few friends went on an eating frenzy and bring some love from a couple different eateries. Congratulations Zugey!
This is your chance to be an extremely underpaid videographer for Sour Patch Kids candy and create a video that represents the idea of “Sour, then, Sweet”. The contest will give five lucky winners $1,000 dollars, which in today’s economy…should be just enough to pay for your gas ride to your local supermarket and buy a week’s worth of Sour Patch Kids. Pessimism aside, best of luck!
Limited availability chocolate turnover at select Arby’s restaurants. Arby’s said it best in its description: “This freshly baked PEpperidge Farm turnover has a light, flakey pastry crust stuffed with decadent chocolate filling made with Hershey’s cocoa. The addition of icing on top makes for one sweet treat!”
