Industrial Park Cafe
The industrial park cafe is an anomaly in the restaurant business. It is among the only establishment that can survive despite being in a constant state of disrepair. A disproportionate number of these establishments border on unsanitary—always dreading the next visit from the health inspector. In spite of this, they rarely go out of business.

The Greatest Burgers I Have Ever Made
Last night, I BBQed some bison burgers for Sara and I. They were the best burgers I have ever made. It wasn’t the first time I’d made bison burgers, but it was the first time I’ve used the recipe that made them so great.
The recipe is actually pretty simple:
Ingredients:
Approx. 454g (1 lb.) of ground bison*
Approx. [...]
Save On Foods Sucks
Dear Save On Foods,
If I forget my Save On card at home, why can’t I just give you my phone number like I can at every other store? I’m pretty sure you asked me for my number when I first signed up for the card. What’s the deal?
The only reason I didn’t drop my groceries [...]
The Wendy’s Spicy Baconator

For weeks, I’ve been seeing ads for the new Wendy’s Spicy Baconator. For a while, it didn’t really appeal to me. Despite being a fan of bacon, cheeseburgers, and bacon cheeseburgers, I have never been a particularly big fan of Wendy’s. Moreover, when I do choose to eat at Wendy’s, I [...]
I Eat Meat
For those of you who were keeping score, I have failed miserably at my plan of only eating meat when I am at restaurants and/or at other people’s houses. I eat meat at home, too.
I did manage to go for a little while without, but I just could not give it up. I like meat [...]
Wanting What I Can’t have
I’ve been craving meat all week. It’s weird, because it’s actually fairly common for me to only eat meat two or three times a week—once on Thursdays when the company buys lunch for the whole office and once on Sundays when I’m at my parents’ house for dinner are the 2 guaranteed times—so the fact [...]
Semi-Vegetarianism
Lately, I have been thinking about vegetarianism. I have been cutting back on the amount of meat I eat lately—especially red meat—in an effort to eat healthier than I have in the past. I have started eating tofu on a semi-regular basis, and have even tried a few different meat replacements (veggie burgers and Yves [...]
The Joy of Hot Dogs
The other day, I had a craving for hot dogs. But, not just any hot dogs. I wanted chili-cheese dogs. I hit the grocery store on the way home from work and picked up a can of chili. I’m not usually a fan of canned chili—I prefer to make my own—but for making chili dogs, [...]
Regaining My Girlish Figure
I recently discovered that I weigh 30lbs more than I thought I do. This shocked me. I don’t really care about the weight. I’m not really fat, and, if I workout enough, I’ll probably retain this weight anyway (except that, you know, it will be muscle instead of fat). What I am is out of [...]
