What a time to be alive. No longer will we have to decide between a hamburger or hot dog, or take up valuable real estate on our plate for both. The Hamdog is here.
The hamburger-hot dog bun is the invention of genius and legend of our time, Mark Murray. Once laughed at by the entrepreneurs on Shark Tank Australia, it is Murray who gets the last laugh, as the Hamdog is now patented.
Find out more about getting your hands on one, and licensing, on Hamdog’s Facebook.

Cookies demand to be dipped in something. And, at the time of this writing, there is no more dippable food item than the french fry.
Cookie Fries are the food hybrid that we didn’t know we needed. Offered by State Fair Treats, a Texas-based restaurant filled with state-fair inspired foods, the portable dessert is available in chocolate chip or with sprinkles, and can be dipped in chocolate or strawberry sauce.
Boring round cookies can’t do that. Actually, they can, but fries.

Art critic, Clive Bell, once theorized that art is subjective, and that the combination of lines and colors creates an aesthetic emotion unique to each person. In the case of MEMORIAL by artist David Shrigley, that emotion is apparently the fear of forgetting something at the supermarket.
MEMORIAL is a seventeen-foot tall stone monument that consists of nothing more than a list of grocery items. All the important stuff is there… peanut butter, ketchup, eggs, bread, etc. The monolith was erected by Public Art Fund, and is currently on display in New York City’s Central Park. Monument to self… buy bread.

The McDonald’s McRib will soon rear its ugly sauce-laden head, to remind us of the bad choices that we made as children. Now that we’re adults, we have to wonder why a better and less horrifying version of the McRib hasn’t been created. The Food Lab’s J. Kenji López-Alt is on it.
The Ribby McRibface is the adult version of the McRib that we’ve secretly pined for. López-Alt, fueled by nostalgia and mad culinary skills, creates a gourmet version of the BBQ pork sandwich using actual ribs. Spoiler… the McRib does not.
Then, not content with his sandwich’s “McRibbiness,” López-Alt creates a second version with actual ground pork… something else the McRib probably never did. Recipe and technique here.
