On Sunday, I made my way to the Santa Monica Pier to take part in the unvegan bbq fest 3

unvegan bbq fest 10At $10 a plate, this was not a festival to attend alone. Instead, my friends and I divided up the place to get a few plates and sample each other’s. First, we checked out Southside Market and BBQ from Elgin, unvegan bbq fest 2Texas. They were offering sausage and brisket (combined) sandwiches with no side dish. Despite the fact that the plate came with onions, this place was truly built for unvegans. The sausage was incredible, but the brisket was nothing special. It felt as if the brisket was just kind of forced in order to make the plate worth the $10, because there was no way to tackle two of those sausages.

Free Meat Alert: KFC Part 2

It appears that KFC’s free chicken deal has caused quite a commotion around our beloved nation. “People” are up in arms because of Oprah’s promotion of it, while others caused problems when their local KFC ran out of chicken. In response, KFC has nullified their coupons. Now, the coupon gets the person another coupon at another time that is yet undisclosed. They call it a rain check, but I call it a disappointment. Free disappointment, anyone?

Having not yet used my coupon, I’m not going to make a special trip to KFC just to get another coupon. Maybe if they had gotten Jimmy Kimmel to promote it we would all still be able to enjoy a free meal at KFC.

Support Pork Week

Now that we have recovered from the paranoia surrounding the Swine Flu, it’s time to re-embrace those unkosher animals that caused the whole media event in the first place. Enter Support Pork Week, an idea proposed by Indrani Sen of the New York Times. Rather than avoiding one of the great meats of the world, we should make up for lost time and support the other white meat. From bacon to salami to shoulder, let’s all jump back on the pork wagon and celebrate surviving the first pandemic of 2009.
