Marketing Meat

This is a confusing sight… As I walked past the BUTCHER section of my local Whole Foods I spotted a giant ’100% Vegetarian’ sign on the counter and had to see what sort of meat-free option was being sold alongside bloody steaks and raw chicken kabobs. Was there some sort of new meatless cow on […]

Fed Up Food Hotdog Pizza 1

Food Flop

There are times when nasty-sounding food combinations end up becoming your favorite recipes. But then there are those things that sound perfect in principle, but in reality end up being food flops. Hotdogs can be tasty. Pizza is always good. So a ‘hotdog-pizza’ would be awesome…right?! No. A layer of tomato sauce, topped with onions, […]

Drinking Buddies

Beer for dogs. This is a thing?!? I came across this dog ‘beer’ while traveling in Asia… Finally you can treat “man’s best friend,” like a real pal and buy him a drink. I am not sure about the alcohol content of this stuff (or even if there is any liquor in it at all), […]

Whole baby squid served with some salmon roe, made for an interesting appetizer. This was definitely NOT the same type of 'calamari' you find in a typical American neighborhood restaurant.

Japan: Land of Food Perfection

Japan makes me jealous! After working for several days there I quickly became spoiled with by the pristine perfection of every bite I ate. The quality, the presentation and the attention to every miniscule detail was ridiculously amazing.  After returning back home to the FedUp HQ in good-ole-America, I longed for the tasty treats I […]

Going To The Dogs

This is just stupid… So the other day I had just finished picking up my own groceries, when I decided to get some kibble for Dozer, my loyal sidekick who happily cleans up after my kitchen messes. I am always amazed at the vast assortment of dog food offered…I guess canine’s can be picky too. […]

Food Fusion Findings

Fusion foods have a 50% chance at being damn tasty…but often they end up being damn disgusting. A perfect example would be the sushi scene. In Las Vegas I experienced food-nirvana at Sushi Samba; a brilliant restaurant that perfectly pairs Japanese with Peruvian and Brazilian cuisine to make some impressive dishes. But then at San […]

So I am not the only one…

Looks like I am not the only one who has issues with grocery stores. Check out this AWESOME diagram of the layout of pretty much every grocery store and how it screws with you. Every trip to the grocery store is filled with so much potential but almost always leaves you with headaches. http://www.pleated-jeans.com/2012/11/29/a-map-of-your-grocery-store/

Fed Up Food Junk for Food

Junk for Food

Who the hell buys this crap!?! It was Black Friday. I was being a responsible American citizen and dutifully in the midst of my annual holiday shopping spree. Then, while battling my way through hoards of eager shoppers in a local department store, I stumbled upon this nonsense… Now there are PLENTY of stupid kitchen […]

The Fed Up Thanksgiving Leftover Pizza: It may not be as beautiful as a fully loaded Thanksgiving dinner table complete with a whole bird as the centerpiece, but it is arguably just as tasty.

Thanksgiving Leftover Awesomeness: The best use for eveything you wish you could have eaten on Thanksgiving

Leftovers seem to get a bad rap all the time…often times they are exiled to the far corners of the fridge in hopes of being  forgotten about and tossed out once they develop a trash-worthy layer of mold. And I agree, fresh is almost always better, but random bits from previous meals do have their […]

Simple Awesomeness

The Sporkful is truly inspirational and their founder just posted this video he did for the Cooking Channels web series. Seriously…just check out this video of how to make an awesome vegetarian ‘Veggieducken.’ Even if you are not a vegetarian…this is still cool and gets me thinking about all the other crazy combos that are […]
