Brooklynese Kitchenware

Brooklynese-Kitchenware-1

Before Brooklyn was known as the land of artisanal marmalades and organic rooftop gardens, the other borough’s claim to fame was its unique brand of modified English. Enter Brooklynese Kitchenware by Fishs Eddy, which has a little fun with native Brooklynites’ aversion to the letter R.

Whether you take your “cawffee,” with or without “shuguh,” the vessels spell out their contents phonetically for the R-impaired. The kitchenware is made of high-fired ceramic and available individually or in a gift box set.

And, for more fun kitchenware, check us out at The Foodiggity Shop. We’re located in New Jersey, where we always pronounce everything correctly.

Incredible Miniature Replica of Katz’s Deli in New York City

You are looking at the infamous New York City landmark, Katz’s Deli. But this isn’t your grandaddy’s Katz’s — it’s a miniature replica. Created by sculptor Alan Wolfson, it shows Katz’s in mind-blowing detail. And, take a good look — because unless you work there until after closing time, this is the only way you’ll get to see the deli not filled with hungry Lower-East-siders and tourists.

Sriracha and Strawberry Milkshake

Sriracha is hot — both literally and figuratively. We’ve seen the much loved hot sauce take the form of anything from lollipops and iPhone cases, to makeshift ways of getting it onto your food faster.

Now, it’s being featured in a milkshake by GO Burger in New York City. Officially titled Fiery Berry Crumble, the milkshake combines three scoops of strawberry ice cream, two tablespoons of graham cracker crumbs, four squirts of Sriracha, whipped cream, and a dash of cayenne pepper.

This Is Now The World’s Most Expensive Burger

Well, that didn’t take long. After Foodiggity reported on the world’s most expensive hamburger — mere hours ago — we received an onslaught of emails and comments disputing Serendipity’s claim of being the world’s most expensive hamburger. Enter the $666 Douche Burger.

Created by 666 Burger, a NYC food truck, the Douche Burger is more than double the price of Serendipity’s entry, with a fraction of the pretentiousness. A foie-stuffed, gold-leaf-wrapped Kobe patty is topped with caviar, lobster, truffles, Gruyere melted with Champagne steam, and BBQ sauce made using Kopi Luwak coffee. If you’re wondering why Kopi Luwak coffee is such a luxury item, perhaps it’s best not to know.

And, according to 666 Burger… “[The Douche Burger] may not taste good, but will make you feel rich as f*ck.” I’ll have two.
