When you think of Thanksgiving the first thing you think of is turkey, but what if you could make that turkey a million times better. I give you the Turbaconducken. The typical Turducken is a Turkey stuffed with a duck that is stuffed with a chicken. This gives you 3 birds in one and supposedly it’s delicious. Now what if you took that recipe and wrapped the entire thing in god’s candy, aka Bacon! How fucking awesome would that be. Well you don’t have to dream about it anymore, the guys over at Bacon Today have posted pictures and instructions on how to make the greatest Thanksgiving dinner ever.

So for those of you that celebrate, Happy Thanksgiving have a good holiday weekend. I have a feeling posts will be lacking this weekend due to the fact that I won’t be at work tomorrow or Friday and therefore don’t have to sit in front of a computer all day.

I haven’t been into Chipotle in a while but we went there the other day for lunch and realized that I could no longer get steak soft tacos for $6.07 after tax, I now have to pay something like $6.37 before taxes. I wouldn’t mind paying a little more if there was a guarantee that I would not get “chewy” pieces of steak in my tacos. I swear, everytime I get the steak tacos I end up spitting out half of the meat because it’s too chewy for my teeth to break apart. Sometimes it’s not even just little parts of a piece, but rather, the entire piece of steak. It’s also quite embarrassing when you’re out to eat with friends or whoever and all of a sudden you get one really chewy piece that you have no desire to swallow, but don’t know what to do. Spitting it out, even into a napkin, always just seems rude to me, but what else do you do?

I’ll still continue to eat at Chipotle despite the price increase and the chewy steak, but it’s only because there’s no taco bell near work. I’d rather pay $1 for meat that came out of a caulking gun than pay $2.15 for a taco that I can’t chew and have to spit out. Both tend to have the same results when coming out the other end, so I really can’t see a reason to spend the extra money if I don’t have to. Don’t get me wrong, Chipotle is delicious and has a lot more flavor than T-Bell, but I did not pay money to chew the meat and then spit it out. What good is that going to do me?

Don’t you love it when incompetent people can’t figure out that something doesn’t look or sound right when they are writing it on your birthday cake. Talk about fail.

Rumors of McDonalds dropping the double cheeseburger from the dollar menu seem to be picking up steam these days. I first heard about this “McDouble” the other night at our softball game and couldn’t believe it was actually true (as in McDonalds is considering it). Apparently cheese is costing McDonalds too much money and they are actually thining about removing the double cheeseburger from the dollar menu because of it. The double cheeseburger consists of two “beef” pattys, 2 pieces of cheese, a couple pickles, ketchup, mustard and a bun, not a whole lot to it really. So McDonalds apparently wants to raise the price of this double cheeseburger by ~.20 cents or so to make up for the cost of the extra piece of cheese… yeah, 1 piec of cheese is the problem here. Apparently if they remove the double cheeseburger from the dollar menu they are going to introduce the “McDouble” which is basically just a double cheeseburger with 1 piece of cheese instead of 2, and that will keep the price at .99 cents.

I’m sure McDonalds has their business reasons for wanting to do so, obviously they wouldn’t make the change if they weren’t losing money somewhere (or not making as much as they used to be). I just find it hard to believe that McDonalds is paying over .20 cents for a piece of cheese. Maybe I just don’t know the cheese market at the moment, but with the amount of cheese McDonalds uses you’d think they’d get it (or produce their own) for pretty cheap. I mean, aren’t Kraft Singles sold in like packages of 25-30? for like $3-4 bucks? That comes out to .10-.20 cents or so a slice and that’s just for a single person buying individually wrapped pieces of cheese in a small amount.

Like I said, maybe I don’t understand what cheese is doing with our economy the way it is, but it just seems like a stupid issue to be considering. It’s obviously not going to stop me from getting a dollar menu double-whatever when I’m drunk and coming home from the bar. One extra piece of cheese doesn’t help me, it probably hurts me, considering I have issues with dairy. And do they really think anyone is going to pay an extra .20 cents for an extra piece of cheese on their double burger?

Hey Preppy, have a brewski on us tonight. Happy Halloween. Love AC Slater

There was a stolen base during Game 1 of the World Series last night, therefore Taco Bell will give everyone a free crunchy beef taco on October 28th between 2PM and 6PM.

Steal a Base, Steal a Taco

Just a quick question regarding meatball subs/sandwichs, is there a legitimate reason why most places put huge pieces of tomato skin in the sauce? Even pizza places put huge chunks for tomato in the sauce, why? I guess some people like it on pizza (not me) but I just feel that if I wanted tomatoes on my meatball sub I would have asked for them. I find it extremely gross to be eating a delicious meatball sandwich and bite into a large piece of tomato skin. And it’s not just Potbelly’s that does this, Quiznos is guilty of this as well…. Places like Subway don’t do it, so why do these other places have to?
