Service interruption: While y’all slept and we threw down at a couple of Midtown saloons with two very large ladies [*wink*], my server crashed … so apologies there.
That aside, it’s obvious that I’m a slave to internet trends … right? So let me hop on one of the latest trends to get all crazy (The Shit _____ Say series). Today’s episode is “Shit Bartenders Mixologists Say.”
It comes complete with references to Tales of the Cocktail, a super huge drunkfest cocktail conference, and the ever awesome Imbibe Magazine. Watch and laugh:
For some unexplained reason, blindness and food have popped up a couple of times in my life over the past few weeks. It started when I happened upon a couple of blind foodies who romp around New York City. This AM, through a series of unexplained link clicks, I hit upon this little bit of amazing courtesy of Wimpy, a fast food chain in South Africa. I sure hope someone in the states copies this idea.
A fine wine might impart images of palatial estates and smells of aromatic fruits and spices. It might offer a demonstrative mid-palate and a finish of rich chocolates. Then again, it might remind you of wet concrete …
That’s a great sales pitch. Meanwhile, I stop just short of looking for horse shit in my grape juice; however, other’s make more compelling arguments for manure in wine.
America’s hottest new mixologist/bartender/alcohol concocter or whatever you want to call it is actually Andy Samdberg, who’s been spotted working at Mint in Portland. Dude knows how to use the egg shells to get that taste just right.
Thankfully, the awesomeness that is Portlandia (it’s a TV show y’all) decided to feature a bit with Mr. Samberg. It’s a great lesson not only on the art of the cocktail but also on the art of the pickup.
It’s Sunday Funday, so let’s kickback. Here’s an awesome Super Bowl ad from back in the day. It’s a Snickers commercial, so that qualifies with this guy as a food related topic!!!
Here’s a little video from Tommy Edison, a blind guy who shows us once again that blind people really don’t have the limitations many think they do! I know a lot of people that say they can’t cook … tell me that after watching him cook! #Respect
Comedian Nick Swardson was kind enough to document what happens in the event you consume 28 boozerific drinks. Basically, your world will turn into a zombie like movie filled with a bunch of booze hounds. Yeah, a little NSFW – so turn plug in the headphones if you’re worried someone nearby will get offended.
There may be nothing more engaging than a great advertisement. These small and rare acts of brilliance are like little windows into a common understanding. While I don’t drink beer, I sure as hell find humorous things too awesome not to share. So when this Bud Light ad Table Hopped across my twitter feed, I knew I had to post it. Yeah, it’s not the most foodie centric commercial of all-time, but it’s a funny little watchable.
