Seriously who doesn't love a royal wedding?<br />
<br />
We care more about the food than the dress and <a href="http://www.people.com/people/package/article/0,,20395222_20459577,00.html"><span style="font-size: large;">People magazine is on the case.</span></a><br />
<br />
<blockquote>Immediately following the <a href="http://www.people.com/people/package/article/0,,20395222_20455005,00.html">11 a.m. ceremony</a>, guests will be invited back to Buckingham Palace for a wedding breakfast of champagne, canapés and heavy h'ors d'oeuvres, such as smoked salmon, paté and mini sausage rolls which were, "always popular at the Palace – one of the first to go," notes McGrady. <br />
<br />
He also expects a somewhat simpler spread than those featured at royal weddings past, like Charles and Di's. "The royal family will not want to be seen as going backwards and actually having a big, seven-course meal with a soup course and a fish course," he says. "They will want to make it more modern."</blockquote><blockquote>At the evening dinner and dancing reception, a smaller group of family, close friends and visiting heads of state will be treated to a more substantial buffet, McGrady predicts. "They like to showcase British food, so there might be Gaelic steaks with braised rice. But I wouldn't be surprised if cottage pie is somewhere on the menu." <br />
<br />
That dish, made of ground beef in a brown sauce and topped with creamy mashed potatoes and melted cheese, "was William's all-time favorite," he says. </blockquote><br />
What are you going to eat while watching this grand affair? We recommend beet root sandwiches with a dark english ale?<br />

Respect to Bobby Flay, try potato chips on your burger. It’s amazing how many times burgers have been served with a pile of chips on the side and after trying this one wonders why did it take so long to figure this out? The chips stick to the top of your bun with the help of condiments, think of ketchup as glue. The combination of salty crispiness adds a whole new dimension to your burger. Lately we have been using small onion challah buns, a bit bigger than sliders, from the <a href="http://www.yellowpages.ca/bus/Quebec/Montreal/Snowdon-Bakery/1466056.html">Snowdon bakery</a> with delicious results.</span></span></b><br />

Can you even taste the mustard or is it just a color? The onions punch out a bit but are more of a texture. The overall saltiness found within the burger combined with the sugary ketchup and cheese is not totally unpleasant and provides the opiates for masses. The pickles offer a contrasting flavor to the ketchup. The meat seems to act as filler, the best description I can think of is rubbery, but overall it just sits there. It might be the cheese that makes the meat seem more rubbery but the bacon does add some crispiness to the experience. A small burger so if you eat one you are almost left with the feeling that you want another. The McDonald's burger tastes like something mass produced and is never changing. A sugary rubbery experience. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Meat patty, cooked on a flat top grill. Bacon (2 slices), pre-cooked and warmed on the grill. Condiments, a real slice of tomato, mustard, relish, ketchup, onions, coleslaw and a slice of American cheese.

The bun is fluffy, the patty juicy and the bacon has a chewy smokey flavor. The coleslaw and condiments add an oniony, vinegar flavor. The condiments almost overwhelm the thin patty. The burger drips and oozes and is a messy experience when consumed. A satisfying burger experience. You feel like you have eaten meat or even real food. Very close to a homemade burger.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/___2lipH5ISM/TT-jYlQr4SI/AAAAAAAAADE/yTEeA_zzLrs/s1600/DSC06731.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/___2lipH5ISM/TT-jYlQr4SI/AAAAAAAAADE/yTEeA_zzLrs/s320/DSC06731.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="font: 11.0px Times New Roman; line-height: 17.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 10.0px 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />

<div><br />
</div><div>Even more Top Chef news. Rachel Kramer Bussel plays kiss and tell but does not name names.<br />
<br />
According to Bussel, a sex writer that makes cupcakes:<br />
<blockquote>"I still couldn’t quite believe he was so blasé about having his assistant right there. Were they together? Was he trying to engineer a threesome?… It was so surreal, we could’ve been on a sitcom…</blockquote><blockquote>“Just pretend I’m a fly on the wall,” the assistant piped up. I felt like I was in a movie. Who says that? “She’s freaky. She doesn’t mind,” he said as he tried to get me to take my clothes off.</blockquote></div><div>Really? So this guy seemed normal and then suddenly got freaky on your cupcake? Really? Or perhaps another book is in the works?<br />

<br />
Jamie's people maintain that: “This is simply for consistency across our restaurants and is perfectly normal when you have a chain of restaurants serving the same menu.”<br />
<br />
We wonder if striving for consistency means pre cut lettuce or tomatoes that are also found in restaurant chains.<br />

Then meat glue! The seared duck! Then meat glue! And bacon strips! And bacon strips! And bacon strips! And bacon strips!!”</div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"></span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;">Thus spoke the horseman of the apocalypse a.k.a. Epic Meal Time, a Montreal-grown YouTube sensation that is gluttony made manifest. The concept? A group of young jackasses make the kind of food you end up making when you’re blackout drunk. A house made of meat, stuffed with cheese? Check. A pizza topped with hamburgers, covered in cheese? Check. A deep-fried baguette, filled with hot dogs and poutine, and - you guessed it - cheese? Check.</div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"><br />
</div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">The formula is simple: in a series of short YouTube videos, the boys concoct their monstrosities over an ominous soundtrack. All the while, a calorie-counting ticker runs alongside the action, gleefully counting up way into the tens and tens of thousands, just in case you thought this was in any way low-fat. They then sit down with a group of others to consume their vomit-inducing repasts, in extreme close-up. Copious amounts of booze invariably accompany the meal. At the end of the nightmare, one of the jackasses stares defiantly into the camera and says, “Next time, we eat a ____ “(insert whatever word you want here, it’s become increasingly meaningless). </span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><br />

They are featured nationally on CBC radio, profiled glowingly in local Montreal media (The Gazette, The Mirror) and are the subject of seemingly infinite hero worship on various online discussion forums. Epic Meal Time seemingly proves two things: people like to be grossed out, and the “extreme junk food” trend has peaked, and permeated the mainstream consciousness.</span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"></span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">When asked why they do this, EMT invariably answers, “Why not?” In the absence of a better explanation, allow this blog to suggest the reason why this is obvious - these morons are complete fame whores who will do anything for their 15 minutes of fame on the internet. Tragically, their fame whoring ways are proving successful.</span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"></span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">In a world where half of the planet is starving, sign if the apocalypse, and the other half is facing an obesity epidemic, there is something truly obscene about these fools and their revolting cuisine. Sadly for sane foodies everywhere, Epic Meal Time isn’t going away anytime soon.</span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"></span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Perhaps the only possible end to the EMT craze lies within the inherent limitations of their formula. How many different meat/cheese/bread/booze combos can these guys possibly come up with before it gets repetitive and old (some would argue that point has already come and gone)? Surely at some point, EMT will run out of ideas, we are waiting for the Pizza Wallbanger as a sure sign, and their 15 minutes will expire, restoring sanity to the world. Until that blessed day, expect these twits to keep on cranking out videos featuring bacon-juice milkshakes, and try to avert your eyes.</span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Gordon did not have a hair transplant</span></div><br />
<div style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.heraldsun.com.au/ipad/ramsay-blames-horse-for-hair-nightmare/story-fn6bn80a-1225992675908">Gordon Ramsay gives bizarre explanation for his 'hair nightmare'</a></span></div><br />
<blockquote>The swelling was widely thought to be the result of Ramsay's £30,000 hair transplant, appearing soon after he was photographed leaving a Los Angeles surgery with a medical cap over his head.<br />
<br />
Instead the 44-year-old claims the swelling occurred because of an bizarre incident he was involved in with gangsters in Costa Rica, who poured gasoline all over him.<br />
<br />
He said: 'I had petrol doused, gasoline poured all over my hair and I had a horrific infection.<br />
<br />
'It certainly didn't cause my hair to be falling out.'<br />
<br />
Ramsay was in Costa Rica filming Channel 4’s Big Fish Fight series for UK television.<br />
<br />
It saw him investigating the illegal trade in shark fins, which led to the confrontation with the heavily armed gangsters.</blockquote><span style="font-size: large;">Oh Gordon you are so macho.</span><br />
<br />
Try this at home. We have and it works. Beef Wellington. <br />
