Someone once said food tastes better on a stick. The folks at Jimmy Dean, famous for their mass marketed breakfast sausage, are putting that to the test. Possibly inspired by McDonald’s “put as much breakfast into one bite” McGriddle, Jimmy Dean has taken two of breakfast’s long standing pillars, sausage and pancakes, and singularly packaged them into America’s …
This week we had family in town. My wife’s aunt and uncle came in, and along with them her uncle brought something his brother had shipped him from Iceland. Hákarl. I’ll leave most of this post to the letter we received along with the Hákarl as it really does the job well describing what we …
After a week’s hiatus, I’m back! This time with a change of scenery. Currently on a family vacation on the beach in Ventura. Its been a beautiful week, full of fun, sun and sand… but alas, I can’t escape the clutches of shitty food. In picking up some items at the grocery store for our …

But now combining the two words, Fancy and Octopus together, if you’re anything like me, you’re picturing an octopus with a top hat, bow tie, and monocle. This …
When I think of IHOP, I immediately think pancakes. And why not? It’s the International House of them! But today, we’re going to take a look at something completely different from the IHOP menu.
