Your Thanksgiving turkey is already lame and you haven’t even roasted it or set your garage on fire trying to fry it yet. Australia has ruined the fattest of holidays for everyone and they don’t even celebrate it! And here I thought we Americans were the only ones proudly shoving…

Fry Street’s post-lecture-pre-booze-then-post-booze food options are expanding yet again with the addition of a Pie Five Pizza Co., slated to open in the next two weeks or so (according to a guy with a hammer and bucket and painty jeans). Correction: According to an email Pie Five, bucket man was…

Tomorrow is Halloween, just so you know. It’s also Wednesday, which means if you’re at least 23, you’re probably working all day instead of getting daydrunk and flinging fake blood on one of your old undershirts to make a “costume.” But maybe you should swing by Party City on your…

The city of Denton enjoyed a wildly successful turnout at Friday Night Bites this weekend as more than 3,000 hungry people huddled around the Denton Downtown Transit Center (604 E. Hickory St.), celebrating the A-train’s extended Friday service (past midnight!) to and from Dallas. It was bitterly cold (for this…

I do it. You do it. We all utter a short string of colorful words when we miss Happy Hour at Sonic. And it’s always at 4:08 in the afternoon when all you’ve had to drink that day is bottle of room-temperature water and maybe some questionable orange juice. It’s…

National Food Day is a nationwide celebration of and attempt to raise awareness for sustainable, healthy food; and it’s happening tomorrow. The University of North Texas, up there in Canada Denton and proud owner of the first vegan cafeteria in the nation, is celebrating the foodiest of days via their…

SCIENCE IS AWESOME. NBC News (and Saturday Night Live’s Seth Meyers) reported last week that scientists have cured cancer developed a soothing, dissolvable mouth strip to help alleviate the dumbest feeling ever: pizza mouth burn. We repeat offenders simply refer to it PMB. Symptoms of PMB include bleeding sores on…

Ah yes, Flamin’ Hot Cheetos. The snack with its own spicy cult of people with stained fingers and horrible breath is in the cross-hairs of school officials in several states, according to CBS News. The snack, with a reported one gazillion grams of saturated fat and a shit ton of…

This Meatless Monday started off like every other Meatless Monday, with a silent panic growing more powerful as the clock ticks down to 12. Breakfast on Meatless Monday is easy, mostly because it’s Monday, I’m usually running late for work and I haven’t (yet) discovered a meat-based cereal. I’m looking…

The unfaltering advocates of Meatless Monday challenge you to extend your Monday foray into vegetarianism into the entire month of October. The whole month. Four weeks. No meat. That includes fish, you silly pescetarians. Why, you ask? Today is World Vegetarian Day, as well as the ceremonious first day of…

FINALLY! You and your chicken can get trussed and like it. A cookbook, due out November 13, parodies the last book you wanted to see on your mom’s nightstand. With promises of rather tempting recipes for “Bacon Bound Wings,” “Chicken with a Lardon” and “Mustard-Spanked Chicken,” Fifty Shades of Chicken…

McDonald’s purists (yes, they are a people), you may want to sit down. The fast food giant is set to open not one, but two of their first entirely vegetarian concepts in India next year. The first location will be in the holy city of Amritsar, near the Golden Temple…

ABC News was slapped with a $1.2 billion defamation lawsuit this morning from Beef Products Inc. as a result of the networks’ coverage of the great 2012 Pink Slime Shitstorm earlier this year. Oops, I’m sorry, it was the 2012 Lean Finely Textured Beef Shitstorm. The coverage, a result of…

Let’s get hypothetical. You’ve subscribed to Meatless Monday and have been trucking along just fine for a few weeks. Given the somewhat limited culinary scope of vegetarian dining in the mass market, your Mondays have been subject to quite a few sandwiches featuring grilled zucchini. And probably a lot of…

National TV Dinner Day happened. Which is probably as underwhelming as the frozen chunks of processed “food” this day attempts to celebrate. So let’s discuss the horrifying, shameful crap hidden in the back of your freezer, shall we? Specifically, the worst ones to ever exist in the frozen tundra wasteland…

A few awesome friends of mine have a longstanding Labor Day weekend tradition of getting their asses down to Schlitterbahn before we settle in for a, short and mediocre “winter.” No matter the motive, it’s a trip well worth a few hours flying south down Interstate 35 on a Friday…

In celebration (or a painful reminder) of the fall semester starting this week at universities around the Dallas region, let’s talk Meatless Monday in North Texas’ own mini-Austin: Denton. Home to what very well could be millions of bushy beards, Denton is one of my favorite places on the planet…

Oh shit son. Jay-Z is pissed. Apparently, one does not fuck with Hova and his secret chicken wing recipe without receiving a legal shitstorm of “AW HELL NAW.” The precious chicken wings are a staple at the mogul’s famed 40/40 club, an upscale chain of sports bars with locations in…

One of the most challenging ventures of Meatless Monday is not finding meatless dishes, but finding vegetarian renditions of your favorite items. This includes sandwiches, a staple so vital to the average human’s lunch hour routine it seems almost sacrilege to alter it. But there are only so many piping…
