• 1000 dollah! My goodness thass a lotta money for a brownie! Then again, if you're the kind of person looking for fine food in Atlantic City, maybe you deserve to pay a grant for a brownie.

    Then you can say I paid a grant for a freakin' brownie and all i got was this lousy crystal atomizer.

  • These days, a man just can't get a decent meal for less than $29,000. Well actually, for that price you get a whole more than a decent meal, you get an 11-course meal prepared by no less than 6 3-starred chefs, all served at the top of one of Bangkok's most chi-chi hotels, the Mezzaluna. I mean 11 plates x 6 chefs x 11 courses, that's gotta be better than 29 x $1,000 brownies, right ?

    And rest assured, there's no shame in eating foie gras, kobe beef and truffles in one meal when it's for Doctors Without Borders...

  • What is wrong with Japanese people ? Here we are, thinking they're decent, Asahi beer-drinking world citizens, and wham! They unleash two frankenbeers upon us within the space of a few weeks. Chocolate Beer, meet Bilk. While Chocolate Beer is merely a special Saint-Valentine beer with a {{rich, chocolaty flavour}}, Bilk is exactly what you think it is. Or rather, what you don't want it to be. The unholy union of beer and milk. Milk and beer, the perfect potion if you want to raise an army of über-menschen...

  • What is wrong with Japanese people, part deux. Obviously, the Japanese have figured out the solution to both Martha Stewart AND Barney the Dinosaur. In France, when kids don't want to eat some kind of freaky food, you just let it rot in front of them until they give up. In the States, you just give them something else to eat.

    In Japan, when a kid refuses to eat Nato, the fermented soy paste that best emulates ripe, unpasteurized camembert, you send in Hard Gay, a leather-hotpants-wearin', Vida-Loca-crotch-shakin', kiddie cook.
    Go ha-du gay!
