14 half-gallons of Fosselman’s Ice Cream!

Just so you don’t think we’re against small businesses in small towns, here’s a shout out to one of the best ice cream establishment’s ever … Fosselman’s Ice Cream Co. in Alhambra, California. This is unquestionably the largest threat to my ever expanding waistline. It’s a battle I look forward to losing everyday. Every. Day. You can get a half-gallon container filled with this nectar goodness of the ice cream gods for only $6.75 a pop. It’s a time-tested and proven taste that’s lasted for over 80 years! With the spare change, you can pick up a single scoop cone or two for the road. Sigh. (Fatass alert!) I hate how this site has turned into nothing more than an over-indulgent food blog.

Sign up folks! You can make a difference! Get your blog on today!

Chemical explosion in your stomach!

Everyone remembers that old science experiment in elementary school. The fake volcano that erupted through a combustible mix of baking soda and vinegar. Well, if you ever wanted to witness what that felt like in your stomach, look no further than the abomination that is… Gourment House in San Gabriel, California. I swear I could crap out a better steak after an all-you-can-eat Indian food buffet than what these idiots call “gourmet.”

Look at the picture above. Would you pay $18 for that? Well we did! $97.20 (BEFORE TIP AND TAX!!) for a 4 oz “filet mignon” that tasted like it was chewed by my sister’s dog before it was cooked; a prime rib so mangled and disgusting, I felt like gargling with Drano just to get the taste out; a New York steak so charred … well my sister actually liked it…; and the lamb chops made me want to puke. At least the Del Monte can of “creamed corn” was only $1.50.
