It’s the day after Thanksgiving. You’re settling in to catch up on the blogs you missed while “spending quality time” with your family.

Andy George, 28, spent $1,500 and six months making a chicken sandwich totally from scratch as part of his YouTube series How To Make Everything. The video has thus far gotten over 1.2 million views and the stunt, as stunts go, is boring.
We live in a world in which someone else sets the price of things; our only choice in consumption is to buy or not to buy. Nevertheless, it is nonetheless true that when something you buy to eat costs $12, it should come with a side. I’m talking sandwiches, burgers, and even the occasional breakfast tartine. I’m just…

What are the United States' best regional foodstuffs? Its worst? These are the questions that bedevil the mind of man—but no longer! For here, we have ranked them. Rigorously scientific (not), ardently researched (nope), and scrupulously fair (not even a little bit): this is the Great American Menu!
A New York City gossip reporter revealed herself today to be the woman behind 300 Sandwiches, a food blog she started because her boyfriend once told her that if she made him 300 sandwiches, he'd buy her an engagement ring. So why isn't this already a terrible straight-to-Blockbuster movie starring overgrown Disney…
By the time the season finale of 30 Rock aired last night, there had been a lot of changes in Liz Lemon's life—she bought a second apartment, got married, adopted two children—but one thing remained the same through all seven years since the show started: eating. A huge part of the character was her relationship to…
Out of all the foods that could be full of neurotoxins and dolphin ghosts—why does it always have to be tuna? Delicious, delicious tuna. Tuna is a wonder-food that comes either in a can or in a fish. The canned kind is cheap, and is where tuna melts come from, which makes it a national treasure. The fish kind is…
I feel like sleepwalking (along with its no-account brother, narcolepsy) is one of the last medical conditions that people feel totally comfortable making fun of. Nobody at the block party is like, "Hey, did you hear about Ted? He's got impetigo!!!" [Huge laugh.] Because that would be rude. Sleepwalking, though, is…
It's hard to find anyone who doesn't love Tina Fey, but recently she found herself in a spat with The Roots. On an episode of Watch What Happens Live, Questlove called her out, saying, "Tina Fey, you are never nice to the Roots. We're from Philadelphia. Be nice to the Roots." In an appearance on Late Night with Jimmy…
