Bacon Wrapped Tater Tots Fat Pants Party
A few years ago, some coworkers and I started a semi-regular weekend gathering that we referred to as "Fat Pants Party", which grew out of "That's What Fat People Do". The main idea is that everybody wears their fat pants, we drink a lot, and we eat massive amounts of food so that we can take advantage of the elastic waists on our fat pants. For the most part, we come up with a menu and everybody takes responsibility for part of it. In the past we've had Beef Wellington, prosciutto wrapped asparagus, macaroni and cheese with potato chip topping, and donut ice cream. We put heavy emphasis on being unhealthy. Naturally, when I came across Recipe Girl's Bacon and Cheese Wrapped Tater Tot recipe, it had Fat Pants Party written all over it. The main problem was at the time I bookmarked it, there wasn't another Fat Pants Party on the calendar.

I don't read every The Rundown everyday because Thrillist is much better. However, the subject line today caught my attention and the contents were a very pleasant surprise. Apparently there is a new Bar opening up downtown with an extension selection of artisan beers (as well as gourmet food). Surely this is not a new concept, but I think it deserves a trip anyways. Why? Here is an excerpt from the article: "The staff knows their brew and may rightly suggest an earthy Belgian Saison Dupont on tap or a bottle of Germany’s Aecht Schlenkerla Märzen, which smells and tastes, remarkably, like bacon."

Go Burger Hollywood
Los Angeles has hit a burger saturation point. A new premium burger restaurant isn't exactly news or surprising. It seems nearly every restaurant has a take on the burger these days. It's not a complaint, I'm an admitted burger lover. It just makes it more difficult to differentiate between the riff raff and the real deal. So, of course, news that Go Burger opened in Hollywood a few weeks ago wasn't actually news, but it certainly was exciting. Having been to BLT Steak, my mind couldn't help but imagine how wonderful the new burgers might be.

Over the weekend, we had our annual cousins snow trip. The last few years, our trip has featured a cook off. This time, it was grilled cheese. I figured that to win, I'd have to go way over the top. Given the amount of beer consumed over the weekend, I decided that my grilled cheese should pay homage to a great beer drinking snack - bacon wrapped jalapeno poppers. Instead of frying up some poppers and putting them in the sandwich, I used the idea of a popper and put those flavors into sandwich form.

My friend Kat and I often discuss our dinner plans with each other during the day. In fact, we pretty much only discuss food during the day. One night she mentioned she was really into brussels sprouts, specifically brussels sprouts with bacon. There really wasn't a recipe, more of an idea, so I winged it and put it together. So easy! It makes a great side dish and it's guilt free because it's vegetables.

Each month, a group of friends gets together to try a different burger around LA. The gathering began a little over a year ago, when a friend from high school decided to work her way down a top ten list of LA burgers and invited her friends along for the ride. Last month, we went to Five Guys Burgers and Fries, making the trek all the way to Carson.

Read More…Jones Bacon Soda Reaction Montage
Most of Jones limited edition sodas sound like drinkable versions of my favorite sweet treats, but over the years they have introduced a handful of savory flavors. This year, Jones released a limited edition bacon soda for the holidays. I didn't have high expectations and beyond taking a couple of sips I really didn't think it was all that drinkable. Rather than rely solely on my opinion, I filmed the reactions of a bunch of other people. The results were a resounding "yuck". Read more to see the video.
