Burger King Classic Grilled & Whopper hot dogs!

Image
A dog is a man�s best friend. A hot dog is a hot man�s best friend. By the transitive property, hot dogs must be my best friends. But if I am what I eat, am I my own best friend?! Clearly not, as you�re supposed to treat your friends with love, and I apparently treat myself with the latest new Burger King offerings on a periodic basis. Sorry, BK, but you simply haven�t been making the cut for me lately. I�m sure you�re aware (because I�m both the laziest and slowest review writer of the whole Fat Guy Food bunch), Burger King has hot dogs now, which I resent MERELY ON PRINCIPLE!! How can one claim to be the Burger King yet sell hot dogs? It�s almost an admittance that the hot dogs will be inferior to the burger. Otherwise, they�d be the Hot Dog King, which is a title I�ve already assumed and will fight to the death for. I�ve spent far too many sad, lonely nights in gas stations earning that title! I am truly the King of Wieners, any gas station attendant will tell you so. I�ve mastered

Vulgar Display of Poutine Food Truck!

Image
I�m not going to lie. I attended the event described in the above flier because of the two top billed acts. I knew two things: it was to support the former Off With Their Heads Drummer�s new food truck venture, and that I�d be getting drunk listening to music I love. I didn�t even know what the hell a �Pop-up� was. I was excited to see the play on the Pantera album �Vulgar Display of Power.� AND I got deliciously more than I bargained for. After a few whiskeys, I began to wonder when the food truck (�round back, I assumed) would be open for business. The bartender explained that all I had to do is put in an order, and my poutine would be brought to me. Glorious. After looking over the menu, it wasn�t an easy choice. I�m a poutine snob. I�ve had the good, the bad, and the mediocre. I�ve had poutine IN Canada. I almost went for traditional �The Regular� poutine. And though I�m sure it would have been phenomenal, I�m happy I didn�t. Once I saw the word PASTRAMI, there was no stopping me.

The Caramel Waffle Cone Frappuccino from Starbucks

Image
WOA HO HO THERE PARTNERS! Unless you've lived on the Pakistan/Afgahnistan border for, well you're whole life, and are too busy fighting infidels to head over to your local Starbucks, you probably know what a Frappaccino is. This time, the split-legged mermaid of Seattle's seedy coffee underbelly lures you into the shadows with yet another frozen candy treat! Behold! The Caramel Waffle Cone Frappuccino! This creamy, and blissfully thick frappuccino is a limited time offering, such is the style these days. So should you throw your 13 pump caramel, 15 pump mocha, 12 pump blueberry, 7 pump vanilla double shot latte from Dunkin Donuts in your dogs face and smoke show it to your local Starbucks?   Let Fat Guy Food Blog let you know! First sip into this second-highest-calorie-count-drink-on-the-menu and you're already starting to crave more. Caramel whip cream pours into your mouth through the straw, rushing in behind it is that familiar thick coffee ice cream cold sweetness t

Cold Stone Creamery's New Blueberry Donut Shake!

Image
Cold Stone doesn�t get the respect it deserves. With so many options it gets lost in the shuffle.  Did you know you can get a funnel cake topped with ice cream there? Perhaps you�d be interested in a Churro Caramel CraveTM  instead?? Into dad jokes and bad puns? Try the Cookie Dougn�t You Want Some or The Pie Who Loved Me. They�re nothing if not creative. Which brings me to their newest delicious creation. I�ve dipped French fries in milk shakes and blended full cake slices with milk shakes. I�ve stirred around bowls of ice cream until they transform into a warm shake. But never have I ever replaced the traditional, and now pass�, cherry on top WITH A FULL FREAKING DOUGHNUT. I tip my hat to the gluttonous culinary artist that devised this creation. Bravo.  Yes, that�s approximately � of a blueberry donut used as a garnish. And it is beautiful. I dipped mine in the whipped cream and it right off the bat as an appetizer. The donut, while not super fresh, was still tasty. I scarfed it dow

Ben & Jerry's Peanut Butter & Cookies!

Image
Every time I start thinking it's been a while since I've seen a new Ben & Jerry's flavor, I end up looking in the freezer section the next time I'm in a supermarket and end up finding one. That's exactly what happened with their new limited batch, Peanut Butter & Cookies. I had just gotten done talking to one of the fellow writers of this very website when this one jumped out at me and you can bet I bought it without a second thought!  Sounds so good, right? Ben & Jerry's Peanut Butter & Cookies boasts Sweet Cream Ice cream with chocolate sandwich cookies and a crunchy peanut butter swirl. So basically, everything awesome that you could ever want in an ice cream, right? Alright, maybe not EVERYTHING. But still. Sounds pretty solid! If it's half as good as Milk & Cookies it will be a home run for sure! (If you've never tried Milk & Cookies, take a quick look at this review from the FGFB archives by our ex-writer Mike. God bless his

Pizza Hut BACON STUFFED CRUST PIZZA!

Image
I�ve been doing a lot of self-reflection lately. The deep thoughts were brought on by eating Pizza Hut�s Bacon Stuffed (stuft?)Crust Pizza. Swirling around my head have been thoughts on other bacon stuffed foods. I�ve indulged in bacon-laden cinnamon rolls, bacon-gorged cheeseburgers, and bacon-infused soda. Did the addition of greasy pork morsels improve these foods, I asked myself. I then realized that there were in fact stupid questions, despite what my teachers always told me.  Swine makes everything better and you should never question that. Pizza Hut has been a love it or hate it chain for years, but I urge you to check them out if it�s been a while. They�re no longer the oily and indigestion-causing pizza chain. That honor now goes to Domino�s. How have they improved? They�ve added a plethora of ways to customize your pie-from garlic butter or pretzel crusts to white or buffalo sauces to a few new toppings. For me, it�s all about that balsamic drizzle at the end. If you don�t kn

When Feeling Good Tastes Right: Laney & Lu's Cafe

Image
As a Fat Guy Food Blogger, I can choke down my fair share of grease covered cheese with the rest of them. But there comes a time, albeit infrequent, when you'd like to not feel like the demons of hell are filling your guts with hot diarrhea, forgo the familiar decadent mouth fiesta, and feed your pig hole with something your body can actually use, instead of just pushing out a volcano blast of black tar. I'm not sure if Laney & Lu's will love that intro, but if you find yourself in Exeter, NH. and want a feel good, freshly made food service, then by all means, Laney & Lu's is your place to go. Nestled just on the north end of Exeter, this place offers quite the menu of freshly made brunch items. First and foremost, let's talk COFFEE. Decided to go in and try their weirdest, most least capitalist pig loving offering. Turmeric Coffee. Turmeric, steamed almond milk, unrefined cold-pressed coconut oil, pastured ghee, turmeric infused maple syrup, spices, blende
