  • I Made Someone Eat An Eyeball

    |

    I hadn’t realized that people were posting to old questions on The Upper Left Corner. I just skimmed through them now and came across this post from S’kat under “Project Palate Expansion” (in which I urged readers to eat something new and write about it):I know I’m a little late for this one, but what…

  • All You Can Eat Salad and Pizza at The Patio

    |

    &tLet us explore the psychological phenomenon that is “all you can eat.”In many ways, this culinary catchphrase is a challenge. “Ok eater,” says the restaurant, “I dare you.

    |

    If the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, then the hand that feeds the stomach is the hand that rules the world. Since my mother and grandmother don’t cook, one might conclude that they are powerless parties in the Roberts family superstructure. How wrong you would be.What my mother and grandmother lack…
