‘Heroes and Villains’
In every generation, there is an idea that changes the world. Finally, the change for our generation has arrived: Bacon Salt.
Justin and Dave are the geniuses behind this magnificent invention. Not content to eat foods that don’t taste like bacon, they developed a seasoning to make everything taste like it. Not only that, but they added multiple flavors, like hickory, applewood and more!
The kicker?
When I first learned of Padma Lakshmi doing a commercial for Hardee’s, I knew I would have to eat whatever she did. Luckily, her burger of choice was the Western Bacon Thickburger.
Now here is where things get a little confusing. In California, there is no Hardee’s. Instead, there is Carl’s Jr., which is almost exactly the same as Hardee’s. A quick look at their websites reveals only a change in the name. The logo and layouts remain the exact same. There is, however, another twist. At Carl’s Jr., there is no such thing as a Thickburger, rather, it is called the Six-Dollar Burger.

There comes a time in an unvegan man’s life when, despite his morals and convictions, he must give a group of people their due. With the Fifth Third Burger, my time has come. Finally there is a dish with vegetables that I dare write about with admiration.
First, a little background.
As the host of Top Chef and the writer of healthy cookbooks, I originally wrote Padma Lakshmi off as vegetarian health nut. All that changed when I saw the picture to the left. There are few things that make me happier than seeing a beautiful woman taking down such a well-prepared piece of meat.
I also have found out that she will be doing ads for Hardee’s (Carl’s Jr.) Bacon Western Thickburger. It’s enough to make me run out and find the nearest Hardee’s.
While reading the most recent issue of Newsweek, I came across a full-page ad that simply could not be ignored.
Blogworthy. And why not? Oscar Mayer has always made fantastic meat products. Has a child ever grown up in America without having at least one Oscar Mayer meat on a sandwich? If not, they were truly deprived. They have two of the greatest jingles in television history. And the Wienermobile, a motor vehicle dedicated entirely to the advancement of meat. Who else can say that?
Who is Mike Nelson? Well other than working on a website called Rifftrax.com, my research shows that he was the star (alongside a couple robots) of Mystery Science Theater 3000. Despite these successes, Nelson will ultimately be remembered for what he accomplishes in the month of February, 2009. Nelson has recently embarked on a journey that few, if anyone, would ever dare to do.
Al Michaels is truly a man after my own heart. Although I have never met him, I have seen him on hundreds of sports broadcasts. Until recently, I only thought of him as a great broadcaster, but new information has recently come to light. A friend has just alerted me to a story about this man who has now become a legend to me. In a recent interview at “The Big Lead,” the following transpired:
