Reviewing the Chains: The Cheeburger Cheeburger Classic

It’s about three hours into a four-hour road trip, so I’m finally hitting the home stretch, but I can’t wait another hour to get home and eat. So I pull off the Florida Turnpike into the Lake Worth Rest Stop (mile marker 94 for those deranged enough to follow along…

Reviewing the Chains: The Bacon Melt at Checkers

It’s a classic example of the bait and switch. During one of my recent late night television binges, I found myself drawn to a commercial that seemed to repeat during every break. It was for some kind of cheesy, bacony, Texas toasty burger at Checkers. Despite seeing the commercial at…

Tonight marks the official final night of the 2009 Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival at Cinema Paradiso.

Yucca Clearly Shouldn’t be Roasted

There’s nothing like buying something that I have no earthly idea what it might be. Normally even if the packaging doesn’t have much English on it, I can deduct from the pictures what I might find inside. Whatever this is, I have no idea. There are literally four English words…

Grace instant Cornmeal Porridge: Like Grits, Only More Confusing

When I think of porridge, only a few things come to mind: Goldilocks, bears, poverty, and prison. Goldilocks and the Bears probably don’t need much of an explanation, as I’m sure many of our first times even hearing the word was in the children’s story. Poverty… well for some reason…

Radio-Active Records Hosting Punk Rock Food Drive

​Punk rock has always been more about the attitude than the music. Unfortunately, that “punk rock attitude” is often portrayed as a hate-everything, outsider-only, anti-social group. While some of those things may be true from time to time, things like this can also really show off what punk rock is…

Dear Mr. Broderick,

I’m writing this letter on behalf of humankind to thank you for defining our lives. You showed us all, via the greatest movie of all time, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, that it’s not only okay to fake sickness and skip school, but it’s only by performing these acts that we…
