This Espresso Machine Is Also A Mechanical Music Box

January 15, 2016 by Chris Durso

Never brew your espresso shots without the accompaniment of mellifluous music again. The Music Box Espresso Machine, by Hammacher Schlemmer, is the world’s first combination mechanical music box and coffee maker.

The device accepts Illy espresso pods and will make up to 10 short shorts or 5 long shots, from its 10-oz. water tank. Although creating ambience for your coffee-making will not come cheap — the Music Box Espresso Machine clocks in at $4,200. You read that correctly.

Spatulas out, horns up… It’s time to make Shepherd’s Pie at Metal Kitchen. With music provided by The Ghost Inside, our host for this episode, Linzey Rae, offers cooking instructions by yelling at us. Oh, sorry… by singing the instructions metalcore-style.

Subtitles are provided for those who might be more into classical or slow jazz. Either way, there’s a Shepherd’s Pie to comfort you when it’s all over. Check it out here, metalhead.

The Tortilla Chip Guitar Will Guac The House

September 17, 2015 by Chris Durso

To help celebrate Quesopalooza, a day of giving out free cups of cheese, Moe’s Southwest Grill created a Tortilla Chip Guitar.

The fully-functional and mostly edible guitar was made by Atlanta Props, who takes us through the building process, gives us a quick jam, and then promptly smashes it — so there will be no double-dipping. Guac and roll!!!

Quesopalooza is September 17th.

Slayer Pizza, Nuclear Assault Nachos, and the Exodus Pork Belly Blood Feast are just a few of the metal meals that’ll make you hungry and head-bangy.
