Ghostbusters Hi-C Ecto Cooler Recipe

You didn’t have a childhood in the 1990’s if you didn’t drink Hi-C Ecto Cooler, straight up. In a 90’s landscape filled with insane snack game competition, Ecto Cooler E Juice achieved upper echelon status and with good reason: it was green, it was sugary and it was inspired by Ghostbusters. And do I even need to say more about a movie…

Glazed Simpsons Doughnuts Recipe

Do I even need to go on about the legend that is neon pink Simpsons Doughnuts? I don’t, but I do because SEO game strong. If you’ve never made glazed or frosted doughnuts before, making Homer Simpson’s famed D’Oh Nuts is a great start. These donuts use a double rise method to make them nice and fluffy, and are then fried and…

Homemade Crunchwrap Supreme

Let’s taco ’bout this Homemade Crunchwrap Supreme recipe, made with the visionary himself David Roa. But Pâté, why make this at home? Can’t you buy one for like $3? You’re right. But I’m a Taco Bae and want to know how my favorite food is made. You could always buy a pre-made Taco Bell Party Box (I’d never party box-shame you), but I like…

Homemade Pop Tarts

Homemade Pop Tarts

Few things in life are certain, except death and the availability of Pop Tarts in vending machines. Before I describe how to make the perfect homemade pop tarts, it is my duty as a nostalgia connoisseur to outline the pastry’s surprisingly long history. Launched in 1964, Pop Tarts go way back in U.S. junk food history. For context, humans first landed on the moon…

Chick-fil-A Chicken Sandwich

Chick-Fil-A Chicken Sandwich

Chick-fil-A is delicious but until recently has only been available in southern U.S. states. Out of desperation (or lack of self control? primordial urge to fry?), I stole some Chick-fil-A sauce packets and recreated the whole shebang at home. I also talked with a Chick-fil-A HQ employee to get some insider tips on how the chain makes the delicious Chick-fil-A Chicken Sandwich at home….

Originally started as a marketing gimmick in Japan, the Kuro Burger’s black bun was used to hype the fast food chain overseas. The Japanese version used squid ink bread, which is hearty and delicious…

Cereal Milk White Russians

A few months back, I caught up with NYC-based band Milhaus to chat about their EP The Graduate (full interview here). Both their band and EP names are pop culture references (The Simpsons and The Graduate respectively) and so I created a cocktail in their honor: Cereal Milk White Russians (aka the “Milkhaus”). Cereal milk is delicious and sweetens White Russians nicely. Plus I’m on…
