Memorial Day

by Mikey

Hey everyone, we are taking the day off today, to cook up some burgers, drink some beer and toast to the men and women who make it all possible.

Here’s to you, our brave, bad, and bold, honorable fallen men and women of the United States Military.  We at EatMeCalifornia raise our glasses to the freedoms and ideals you have kept safe for us!

Make sure you guys are eating, drinking and being merry.  Just don’t party so much you wake up naked next to a cross eyed llama, with a wedding ring on your finger, covered in scrabble pieces, wondering what the hell happened because you don’t even play scrabble.

Sex, Lies, and Mini Sirloin Burgers

by Mikey

We are starting a new feature here at EatMeCalifornia.  We want to find out if all these fast food superpowers think we are all just food gobbling idiots who don’t pay attention to what their product is supposed to look like.  I’m tired of seeing commercials and pictures of food that does not exist here on Earth.  The videos and photos that they are showing us, which entice us to give their next big meal a try, are misleading.  Now, of course we already know that the man wants us to buy his 6 dollar burgers and will show us sexy burgers all covered with tomato, onion, and cheese.  What the man doesn’t know is that I’m showin’ photos of the real burgers right here.  I’m going to prove that their beauty queen, sexy burgers are really malnourished, meth addicted, second cousins twice removed.

The first meal in my scope is the mini sirloin burger from Jack in the Box.  Jack in the Box is definitely on the front lines of marketing, with pretty great commercials featuring mini cows and cowboys and even including a damn catchy jingle.  But is it all based on a lie? Continue reading →

Yeah so I went to a chain restaurant. Wanna fight about it?

by Mikey

My son, being the brainiac he is, won an award at his school for all-around academics, finally justifying the, “My son will buy and sell your honor student”, bumper sticker I have on my car.  They gave him a nifty certificate and a free dinner at Red Robin in the Pacific View Mall.  Naturally I took this chance to review Red Robin; a place I wouldn’t normally go into, not because I’m fighting the man and his industry but because to me it’s always been an overrated burger joint.  I gotta say I was very pleasantly surprised.

Hells Kitchen and Cherry Dr Pepper

by Mikey

This last week on Hells Kitchen, we got what everyone has been waiting for.  Lacey was removed after failing at the meat station.  My question is, why was she ever on the show?  Shouldn’t they only have people on there who are real chefs?  She works a buffet line at catering gigs.  She was clueless for so many different things and it seemed like the only thing she could do was make origami swans.  She was by far the weakest of all the chefs, so she definitely needed to go. 

At the same time, it’s amazing to me how human nature works.  These other chefs, on both teams, act as if they are trying to help her, but the way they help and the way they act is more in the negative then the positive.  Sure she was a pain in the ass, didn’t know very much and was dramatic.  But you make it worse when you treat her like the fat kid who sucks at kickball.  We all know how well harping, nagging, and berating, work as human reinforcement devices.  Anyway enough human sociology.  By the way, for a fat person she wasn’t very jolly.  We are a very jolly people.

Hells Kitchen and the Chicken Nugget

by Mikey

So on Hells Kitchen we lost another weak chef.  Another 8 weak chefs to go.  Coi goes home in another exchange with Chef Ramsey that leaves the weaker cook on the line.  Coi was a weak chef, but Andrea does more damage to a brigade.  Andrea acts like a leader and attempts to lead.  The problem with being a weak chef and trying to be a leader is that nobody respects you, or follows you, and you just end up looking like an ass.  Andrea is way to weak to lead.  I still argue that the majority of these chefs are weak.  The few good cooks keep quiet, trying to stay off Ramsey’s radar.  Not enough crying and misery in this episode.  Ramsey needs to step it up.

Hells Kitchen and Sexy Enchiladas

by Mikey

It’s time for the weekly buffet of everything EatmeCalifornia.  This week I had a lot going on so I’m not going to be as long winded as usual.  Though typically Brian is the more verbose of this duo, (mostly because he knows more big words then I do). Continue reading →
