Everything is bigger in Texas… especially if there’s going to be a cake shaped like Texas that looks like a giant steak.
The Texas-shaped Steak Cake was created by Sideserf Cake Studios, for Austin-based entertainment guide Do512. No mention what the prize was for eating the whole thing.

Attention, meat-eaters… Cooking steak just got a bit manlier, thanks to the Lava Project.
A few Syracuse students and geologists slowly pour molten lava underneath a few cuts of meat, putting the slow-moving liquid’s 1300 Fahrenheit to good use. The result… perhaps the coolest BBQ ever.
Now, we here at Foodiggity do not recommend that you try this at home — as the people in this video appear experienced and properly-protected. However, if you’re looking to have a BBQ that your friends will remember, I say forgo the boring propane, and find some lava… and a cool apron. Please watch this…

Nothing says “Murica!” quite like freedom, over-the-top advertising, and your right to eat whatever the hell you want at a reasonable price.
This 1991 Sizzler commercial has all of these things, therefore, it is the most American thing to ever America. Overly-sentimental advertising with cringe-inducing voice-over… check. Hordes of hungry Americans huddled around an all-you-can-eat buffet… done and done.
But the greatest part, besides trying to imagine the original pitch meeting for this ad, is how this four-minute spot perfectly sums up an early 90s America. It was a country still recovering from the 80s — shown in the questionable fashion sense, a soundtrack for the tone-deaf, and heavy emphasis on value after the decade of excess. And, the steaks… Oh my, those steaks.
Please watch this…
