Jill Daniels — Sun, 21 Apr 2013 12:41:19 +0000

I love food! Ok that’s too general. I love delicious food! My favorite part about food is having the chance to taste test different kinds of food. I usually don’t go out of box to try something different so when I have the chance to taste random stuff I go for it! That’s why [...]

Emerald Catron — Sun, 14 Apr 2013 21:33:54 +0000

You should probably watch this video. Especially if you need something absurd to turn your day around. This is about as ridiculous as it gets.

Josh — Wed, 10 Apr 2013 10:00:19 +0000

So, what do you have “on tap”? It’s a question I hear all too often, working in the bar business. In my head I’m saying, “Look at the taps bro…they’re right in front of you,” but instead, my professional side comes out and I reply with a list of the beers we serve. It’s a [...]

Emerald Catron — Tue, 05 Mar 2013 17:51:43 +0000

You know what? Good. We want this guy to puke. He calls himself LA Beast and thinks a shirt that says "SWAG SWAG SWAG" is cool. The only reason we wouldn't want him to puke is that he has a whole YouTube channel that is just footage of him subjecting himself to "Xtreme" food challenges that ultimately result in barf, so we suspect he might actually enjoy throwing up
