If I were on death row, I would want my last meal to be: an aged gouda and duck prosciutto crab rangoon sesame-encrusted ahi tuna, rare my Oberyn Martell smashed potatoes chocolate croissant (from France, not the American bullshit) I know it doesn’t all match, but I’m a dead woman, I don’t give a fuck….
This world has a long history of pig-and-cheese sandwiches. The most famous, I’m sure, is the croque monsieur: a French grilled ham and cheese topped with béchamel. England has their toasties. America has their monte cristos… which is basically a dumbed down croque monsieur that uses an egg mixture instead of béchamel. It’s all fucking…
For years now you have been deceived. You’ve spent your whole life without the proper understanding of something that is supposed to be classic and perfect. I’m here to bring you the truth. BLT does not stand for Bacon, Lettuce and Tomato. BLT stands for Bacon, Legs and Tomato. It’s just been sitting there waiting…
I’ve always thought that life was a cruel bitch for making New Years resolutions come around just when it’s getting bitter cold out. All you want to do is hunker down inside and eat something hearty and warm but you’re bombarded with all of this guilt to better yourself. Let me tell ya: as I…

St. Patrick’s Day is upon us, friends. Many of you start drinking and celebrating a month in advance. I don’t get SUPER into the holiday, I’ll admit it. But I do love cooking for it. It’s such a great opportunity to pull out new ingredients and flavors that you don’t usually take the chance to…
I’m from Ohio. When I moved to Philly seven years ago, the words “What the hell is scrapple!?” fell out of my mouth, quickly followed by an “ew, are you kidding me!?” I fancy myself pretty open-minded about food, but a pork leftover mash-up loaf just didn’t sound appealing to me. Over the years, I…
If you’ve looked through Bacon & Legs, you’ll have noticed that one of the things I love doing is making grilled cheese sandwiches. They have a special place in my heart, right there in that one artery, clogging it up. And I never want to stop making them. But you can’t just make the same…
This recipe originally ran on HoboTrashcan.com. Did ya see Thor: The Dark World this weekend? Didja? I figured a good chunk of you would have. Even if you aren’t into The Avengers, Marvel or comic books in general, Chris Hemsworth draws you in. He could be a weapon in world domination if he fell into…
