Wendy’s: Two New Fresh Wraps Coming

2010-03-18T10:38:59Z

Hopefully sooner, rather than later, Wendy’s will officially announce and begin rolling out these two new Fresh Wraps at their participating locations. Currently only available in test markets, the two new wraps come in the form of the Baja Chicken Fresh Wrap and the Smokehouse BBQ Fresh Wrap. The Baja Chicken Fresh Wrap will come with a lightly breaded piece of all white-meat chicken, pico de gallo, Monterey Jack and cheddar cheese, seven kinds of lettuce (deeeaaamn), cilantro lime sauce (double deeeaaamn) all wrapped in a salsa tortilla. The Smokehouse BBQ Fresh Wrap will come all white-meat chicken breast, Applewood Smoked Bacon (say whaaat?), Monterey Jack and cheddar cheese, ranch and honey BBQ sauces, wrapped in a Monterey Jack tortilla. I’m getting hungry just thinking about these things, we’ll let you know if any more information comes our way about them.

McDonald’s: New McMini (Canada)

2010-03-18T10:27:11Z

For our Canadian readers, it looks as if McDonald’s is dropping a line of new McMini sandwiches. Each version of the sandwich (2 total) is comprised of mini baguettes, one of which contains a grilled-chicken breast topped with pesto sauce while the other is rocking a crispy chicken breast sitting beneath a red-chile Thai sauce. Pricing seems to be around $1.89 (Canadian). What’s up non-Canadians, what are your thoughts? Would you like this sandwich variety available at your local spots? (Thx BurgerBusiness)

Craving: Deep Fried White Castle Burgers

2010-03-18T09:59:40Z

How much faster do you think Harold and Kumar would have found White Castle if they knew the burgers were going to be deep fried at the end of their journey? Depends who you ask, but when this picture crossed my desk I think a couple of my arteries crossed. Yes. You are looking a pile of deep fried White Castle Burgers. Some dude on a forum I was pointed to referred to this deep fried vat of goodness in the following context:

To me, food like that is akin to women who get ludicrously large breast implants: A Gross and unnecessary distortion of something once wonderful.

Lady Gaga’s “Telephone” Video – Reimagined in Cookies

2010-03-17T13:28:06Z

One of the most hyped music videos of recent memory, Lady GaGa’s almost 10 minute Telephone fiasco with Beyonce was definitely a treat for her fans and even haters a like. Did I say treat? Oh yeah, here are an array of Gingerbread Cookies that represent the singer’s crazy outfit selection throughout the video. There’s actually a rather healthy amount of food instances throughout this entire video, including an entire scene of her product placing a certain mayo brand as she spends a chunk of her screen time making a sandwich. If you haven’t seen the video, we have it for you after the jump. (PicThx @fashionrat)

Sweat Meats: Meat Plush Toys

2010-03-17T13:19:49Z

The brainchild of San Francisco product designer Lauren Venell, originally constructed the first “Hambone” plush as a personal art project, but the response to her work was so wild she transformed the entire project into Sweet Meats to keep the people happy. Currently available in three styles (Stuff Boeuf t-bone Steak, Porky Chop and Hambone) and two sizes (Individual and Family). Each meat is handmade and in limited editions of 600 (Individual) and 300 (Family). The pricing on these toys range from $17.99 to $179.99 for the entire collection. Coming from a family with butchers on both sides of her lineage, I’m sure Venell is making her family proud. Her company mission statement reminds us that they are extremely environmentally and socially responsible, utilizing 100% recycled cuddly fleece and recycled dye and are packaged in 100% recyclable and recycled gift wrapping and packaging. Get to know more about the brand at SweetMeats.com.

Parmesan cheese crisps engulf a stray bit of omelet and two pancetta crisps. Looks like an interesting breakfast, carbs, proteins, dairy, green garnish. I’m starving. (PicThx InsaneWiches)

Craving: LBS Extreme Burger

2010-03-16T04:42:25Z

When it comes to Las Vegas, everyone has a “spot” they tell their homies back home about, the place where the food is better than the rest, but I think this one just jumped up a few spots on a few thousand people’s lists. We’re looking at the Extreme Burger from LBS: A Burger Joint, located within the Red Rock Resort Casino and Spa. This particular menu item comes stacked with six half-pound beef patties, and if that wasn’t enough, it is layered with American cheese, portobello mushrooms, lettuce, tomato, red onion, pickles, spicy mustard, herb mayo, house LBS sauce and “ghost peppers” all sitting neatly between a sweet egg bun. Oh yeah, there are also a pound of hot fries surrounding this tower. If you think you can make it past the record breaking 1 million+ Scoville units of heat within those ghost peppers, and finish this burger and fries under 60 minutes, this establishment will happily waive the $30 price tag and rename the entire dish in your honor.

Video: The World of Mr. Toast

2010-03-11T03:01:48Z

So a few hours ago I jumped down a “Green Warp Hole” and landed in the wonderful world of toast, Mr. Toast that is. I was pretty disappointed that I didn’t find the Mushroom Kingdom, but what I did discover was Mr. Toast and his pantry full of friends! Make sure to meet some of his friends, like “Shaky Bacon” and “Mope the Onion” at The World of Mr. Toast
