Deep Fried Butter?

Just when you thought every morsel that could be fried had been tried at the State Fair of Texas – fried Twinkie, fried Coke, fried bacon, oh my – now comes this:

Deep Fried Butter, anyone?

Deep Fried Butter is the creation of Abel Gonzales Jr., who’s received previous Big Tex honors for his Texas Fried Cookie Dough, Fried Coke and Fried Peanut Butter, Jelly and Banana Sandwich. Scoops of pure butter the size of golf balls are frozen and covered with dough and dropped into the deep fryer. Bite into a ball and melted butter pours out.

Gummy Pandas

Bissinger’s confections have developed All natural, gluten free, wheat free gummy panda’s . These treats have great texture and are high in antioxidants and made with organic sweeteners. Each treat has a strong aroma along with a one of a kind flavor. My only objection to this treat is each bag only contains one flavor. Therefor, if ones taste-buds want  more then one taste one needs to purchase a few bags. as of now the available flavors are Goji Guava, Pink Grapefruit, Green Tea, Pomegranate White Tea, and Blueberry Acai. To purchase these gummy pandas visit Bissingers site here. Btw they are real good!!

Flipped out is a new type of ice cream dessert served upside-down. The gimmick starts with fudge melting down  while the ice cream stays in tact. Each bite contains chunks of flavor combonations that have not been avalable yet. Flipped out comes in vannilla fudge brownie,penut butter chocolate, and chocolate chip cookie dough.

Superior Pasta

Last Sunday i was eating lunch in Philadelphia’s italian market. As i left left lunch i strolled into Superior Pasta Co.  

Since 1945, Superior has been making their famous ravioli, over the years the ravioli’s have been stuffed with all different kind of cheeses, vegetables, meats and fish.

After speaking with Joey (The manager/Owner) he said they are willing to make customers special request on ravioli fillings which enticed me. In addition,  to great ravioli they have great sauces, manicotti, fresh cut pasta and home dinners. I highly recommend the pesto ravioli along with the Marinara gravies.

Not Ice cream

I just found this Gelato and sorbet producer that not only has a cool and trendy packaging but claims to have the taste to back it up.  The company imports raw ingredients from around the world to make their  special recipes. More over, they use hormone free milk, sugar (not corn syrup),fresh fruits and nuts strait from the growers, Callebaut chocolate from belgium, vanilla beans from New Guinea, coconuts from the Philippines and dulce de leche from Argentina. After listing all these amazing ingredients i recommend you try it out and let me know what you think.  

you can order it online at  Talenti Gelato e Sorbetto

Scream for Ice Cream

This past July 4^th I went to Columbus Ohio. During my trip I asked around what are the best foods of Columbus Ohio. The most popular answer was Graeters ice cream, specifically the black raspberry chip flavor. Despite for a great black raspberry flavor the chocolate chips were incredible! They had a chewy texture with a rich milky flavor that until that point I had never encountered.

Cooking Tech

Kohler has introduced the Crevasse rinsing sink, which integrates a garbage disposal function at the touch of a button.

According to Kohler, a built-in silicon baffle significantly allows hands-free operation while significantly improves the amount of waste sent down the drain. Besides, watching floating objects drift down the drain might actually have a calming effect.
