McDonald’s is shaking up its menu. Except, instead of adding a hundred new items as usual, the Golden Arches is giving the golden axe to some crowd favorites.

Cameron Simcik — Wed, 09 Jan 2013 13:36:36 +0000

KFC has been in the news a lot recently. John Travolta recently tried to make a reservation at the low-rent chicken chain, and would-be jewelry thieves were so tempted that they opted to steal a couple of buckets of extra crispy.

Genius Snack Alert: Beer and Bacon Battered Deep Fried Doritos

Cameron Simcik — Wed, 12 Dec 2012 18:00:53 +0000

Take any food, deep fry it or add some bacon, and you've got us hooked. There's really nothing better than a nasty, greasy mess or extra meat strips to really make our testosterone sing.
