I discovered the Food Drunk food truck during one of the food truck rallies in New Orleans a couple years ago. Their menu features all the food you want when you’re about to head home from a night at the bar: duck fat fries, a bacon burger, mac and cheese and a few other favorites. During Mardi Gras they feature something that sounds too good to be true: the king cake burger. Continue reading
In 2015 everyone has rage about the concept of manspreading. There are those who think anyone who manspreads is not only a rude jackass who revels in splaying his junk in an apparent display of superiority, but who is also attempting to suggest to you, unexpecting female train rider, that you should not only behold all that is magnificent about male genitalia, but be so threatened by the glory of every man’s significant crotch circus that you should swoon and feel a bit faint just by being in its presence, if not fearful of its magnitude.

Being a horrible lightweight when it comes to drinking, I don’t myself have a long list of hangover remedies. Two drinks (doubles, granted, but still) and I’m out. And will probably feel bad the next day. But nothing that time and a couple of quarts of Gatorade can’t fix.

It’s been over a week into the new year, which means that you’ve likely made some money-related resolutions. Or you recently looked at your bank/student loan/mortgage/credit card statement and spent the rest of the day weeping and gnashing teeth. Or you want something but need to save up for it.
