Unicorn Meat

Yes, kids. We know. It's been a while. But this delicious new food product was too good to be overlooked. It promises to be an "Excellent Source of Daily Sparkles" and "There's magic in every bite!"

However, we've been told by a trusted source that shards of horn have been found in some tins. So, eat with caution.

Cakehead of the Week Award: to Restaurant's failed Spam King

Note the armor we wore when presenting the cake to this week's winner

We present Vadim Ponorovsky, the owner of the Meatpacking district restaurant Paradou with the CAKEHEAD of the week award. He wanted spam and we give it to him, in the form of a Spam Cake. It's merely a small consolatory prize after his waitstaff failed him. He asked them to collect customer's email addresses and they didn't deliver.

Here is his response to their resounding failure:

To All,

Please read this email carefully. This is the last time we will be discussing this.

This weekend, saturday and sunday we had 451 customers. Guess how many emails we collected? 60? 80? 40? No. None of those. We, or more acurately you, collected 2 emails. Thats less than half of one percent. 2 fucking emails.

WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU ASSHOLES?!?!?! How many times do we have to tell you how important it is that you collect emails. Everytime we have a slow night and you make no money and you sit there bitching about how you make no money, remember its because youre fucking lazy motherfuckers. YOU SHOULD ALL BE FIRED IMMEDIATELY!!!!! ALL OF YOU, INCLUDING THE HOSTS!!!!

The waitstaff failed to provide the ingredients for a spam cake so we went ahead and baked the cake ourselves. However, we will not be providing our email address to Paradou anytime soon.

I Lave You

Today, cakes around the world stopped spinning in diner cases and on rotating pedestals. One of the best cake blogs out there was featured in the NY Times. They have a whole slide show of excellent cake wrecks. If you haven't yet, take a look at Cake Wrecks.

Felony Franks - Hot Dogs sold by ex-Cons

The Way We Live Now: Doggedly. Are hot dogs the solution to our nation's unemployed ex-con crisis? No, not at all. But it's a thought. Similarly, happy ads won't restore our rotten financial institutions. But they'll make you $$$mile!!!

Fella by the name of James Andrews figured he could help out ex-cons and do himself a favor in the meantime, so he opened up a hot dog joint by the name of "Felony Franks" on the West side of Chicago. Trouble is, the community's not too fond of his prison-themed decor, and Andrews finds himself in a PR pickle. The solution? For James Andrews to somehow morph into something other than a fat white man, which is what he is.

Trailer Trash: 3rd Ward will turn Williamsburg Trailer into Restaurant

photo by jekemp

For years we've strolled by the ramshackled graffiti-covered trailer and longed to restore it to its days of glory when it was an ice cream stand, not a dingy brothel. 3rd Ward has beat us to it.

The guys behind 3rd Ward have been hard at work buffering up an old silver trailer in the lot adjacent to Roberta's. But what for?

As it turns out, 3rd Ward confirmed to us today that they're getting ready to open up a restaurant "in a souped-up vintage trailer" featuring "gourmet American" fare and a "gorgeous yard," sometime in the near future. We heard it'll be somewhere on Metropolitan.

And, conveniently, since that long-abandoned prostitute/ice cream trailer in the lot across from their new location on Metropolitan Ave. was recently boarded up to make way for a restaurant (said the construction guy), we'll speculate that's where the new digs will be.

A la mode your Vermont Gay wedding cake with Gay Marriage Ice Cream

Ben and Jerry's latest flavor

Celebrate your gay friends and family with a delicious scoop of Ben and Jerry's Hubby Hubby. It tastes just like Chubby Hubby, but gayer. We're accepting guesses for what they will name the lesbian new flavor. We had a little trouble finding Ben and Jerry's webpage on the flavor. But sure enough. It was tucked away in a closet.
