Gummies Lighthouses Gone Wild

We're guessing that Mill Farms' intent was for these gummy treats to look more like lighthouses than they actually do. Gummy Lighthouse: the latest and greatest euphemism we've heard in a while.

Food Graffiti

We love graffiti artists with priorities. We spotted this buttered toast graffiti in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

The weather looks good so....

It's alfresco time. Fiorella Valdesolo of the New York Observer has compiled a list of the top 10 outdoor dining spots around the city. It's rare that we agree with a complete list. But this top 10 list is pretty much spot on. The only problem with the #1 is the damn line that wraps around the park. Since it's August and everyone will be fleeing the city for the weekend, why not take advantage? Head to the shack for a little line-free outdoor eating action.

And if this were strictly a list of places to drink, we'd also add:
Bushwick Country club for their miniature golf course
Huckleberry Bar for those yummy gin drinks
Sun Roof bar for that zany view of the Empire State building from the roof La Quinta Hotel in Koreatown

Food Fighting John McCain

waging wedge against McCain

Alright, the truth comes out. The real reason we've stopped eating pie is because we've discovered that there's place more deserving of pies than our belly: John McCain's face. Inspired by our friend Iceberg Wedge, we're staging a food fight. Lettuce meets pies and cakes (bacon bits & blue cheese are optional)

Iceberg Wedge has a regular column ranting and exposing John McCain's false campaign promises and outright lies. It's a hoot and an inspiration. Now load your cannons

Pie in the Sky

Alright, we admit it. We haven't been posting because we've spent the bulk of the summer eating pie. Lots and lots of pie. And when we weren't eating pie we were throwing pie. We promise to be better. No more pie until we do some postings. Promise.
