Modern Outdoor Grills by Fuego
I’m so incredibly sick of the so called “modern” grills on the market today. Why does my grill have to be bright red, and all fuckin curvy? It’s not practical and it looks stupid. For a long time, the market has lacked a semi-affordable, and non-ridiculous modern grill option. But [...]
5 Places to Buy Alcohol Online
There’s nothing more enjoyable for me than a Gin and Tonic in the evening. The crisp taste with citrus undercurrents…the bitter and refreshing tingle of tonic. But wait…there’s a problem. I can’t buy Blue Coat gin in Michigan. I’m sure we’ve all run into this problem before. You travel for [...]
Everything should taste like Bacon?
In the name of all that is holy– I want this! Nevermind that it looks like canned vomit, or that I swore off artificial bacon products a long time ago (Bacon Lube was surprisingly unsexy and disgusting). I was doing research for an upcoming article today, when I stumble across [...]

Lean Mean, Jack Green
Chances are, if you’re a living, breathing human being – you know what Jack Daniel’s is. The famous No. 7 Black Label emblazoned on bottles of Tennessee Whiskey is as American an image as Bill Clinton professing he didn’t have sex with that woman. Or of Tiger Woods professing he [...]
Dew Me
March has arrived. The month of spring, of college basketball madness, and perhaps most importantly – St. Patrick’s Day – is here. Are you ready? There’s much to do this time of year, gentlemen; haven’t you had enough downtime throughout this seemingly perpetual winter? Stop the procrastination and get ready [...]
Tiger– Come Back!
Tiger, Tiger, Tiger – what are we gonna do with you? First, you fly in the face of logic and utterly dominate an elitist, prejudicial country club game for more than a decade as a man of mixed race. Then, you had the nerve to rake in hundreds of millions [...]
Pommery- The Seasonal Champagne
It’s still February, right? Good, because some of us still have Champagne on the brain from the Valentine’s hangover. Of course, the time is always right for a glass of bubbly, no matter what time of year it happens to be. Pommery, the world renowned Champagne house, certainly thinks so. [...]
