Summer makes us want to drink cocktails adorned with umbrellas, colorful plastic swordfish or the phone number of a hot Nicaraguan bartender. So we thought this was the perfect opportunity to showcase one of our favorite rums ever. Because everybody knows, rum is the secret ingredient to many a tropical frosty beverage. Hell, even the Little Drummer Boy sings about […]
It’s a well-documented fact: We love putting stuff in our mouths. But when the heat is sweltering, our makeup is oozing down our face, and the last polar bear has plunged into the ocean because his piece of ice transportation has melted, we want to wrap our lips around something frigid. And Michele Bachman makes us really queasy. But a […]
It was only a matter of time before our product coverage became so vast that a breakfast cereal, of all things, made our list. We promise you this: if you ever open up our e-mail and there’s a can of peas being praised, it’s either April Fool’s Day or the Gay List mainframe computer at NORAD has been hacked. Cereal, […]
Fresh and local. It’s not just how we like our tricks any more. It’s also how we prefer our summer fare. Because heavy, fried, starchy foods have no place on a plate in June, July or August, especially in Dallas. Antarctica – perhaps. That’s why one of our favorite places for a special-occasion (or expense account) summer dining is Pyramid […]
We admit it. We love those vitamin drinks when we’re working out. We used to think they were healthy because of the word Vitamin on the label, but they’re about the same calories and sugar content as a can of cola. And we would never think of drinking a Coke before a workout. But we think we’ve found a solution […]
If we had our way, today would be a national holiday. Instead of an evergreen tree, we’d decorate a 6-foot tall sprig of rosemary with forks, spoons and tiny serving dishes. We’d gather in groups and sing carols about foie gras and pork belly on our neighbors’ doorsteps. And the fat man who brings us culinary gifts would be Chef […]
When the good folks at Howard Wang’s China Bistro introduced their Chinese Brunch they decided to combine the two words and simply call it Chrunch. Which is good because combining Chinese and Breakfast yields Breaknese. Ouch. Wang’s Breakfast combined would be pronounced Wangfest and that would bring in a group of gays looking for something entirely different. When we wrote […]
We’ve come such a long way from our college days of well drinks and wine coolers. Unfortunately, as we get exposed to higher and higher end liquor, we’re becoming impossible to deal with at the bar. Complicated order! That’s what the bartenders are saying under their breath. But now, we’ve discovered a vodka so lush and complex that our cocktail […]
A wise man once said something that has stuck with us since childhood: “C is for Cookie.” Sure, that man was technically a blue monster with a man’s arm up his butt, but everything we learned about binge eating, we learned from Sesame Street. So you could say we’ve had a lifelong love affair with cookies. They’re less messy than […]
Science is so cool. It has sent men to the moon. Given us pills for four-hour erections. And enabled geneticists to grow human ears on the back of lab mice. So in anticipation of our upcoming trip to the Tales of the Cocktail convention in New Orleans, we contacted Richard Branson’s Virgin Cloning Institute (man, that guy’s got his hands […]
