Checking In

We just can't stay away!

Tomorrow is the last day to get your entry in for the We Live to Eat Contest. You have chosen three finalists already (Stephen Agans, McLovin, and Seersucker and Sazeracs), a fourth is on the way (looks like it will be Wild Bert), and one grouping left to publish. We still have a spot left for tomorrow's face-off. If you haven't submitted your entry yet, do it today. Remember you can win prizes and make friends.

The Final CountRound is going to be sick. Inspired by the foolishness that has become Top Chef, we are going to throw a wrinkle to the competitors. We have rented a house in Mid City and are going to supply them with booze, a bicycle, and bus fare before sending them off on a Scavenger Hunt around the city. Then Peter is going to stare at one of them for a real long time and utter his catchphrase, "Thank you, that will be all," dismissing the contestant to a lifetime of "Hey aren't you that guy from that blog contest?" Get ready finalists.

Summer heat got you wilting like Brett Favre at the end of a meaningful game? Then we have just the cure for you. Read all about Meltdown Popsicles in this month's collector's edition of offBEAT Magazine. Why is it a collector's edition? Like the ending to the Soprano's, it is all there right in front of your eyes.
