To my detriment or not, I follow a lot of random stuff on Twitter and Facebook.  On my Facebook feed a few minutes ago, this article on the “10 Quintessential American Meals” popped up via Skyline Chili’s news feed.  At first I laughed and thought no way, but sure enough, I clicked on the link and there it was at #5 on the list of ten best American meals.  I realize that chili is what they are focusing on and I agree that chili is a quintessential American meal and belongs on the list, but the best example they could come up with was Skyline Chili?!

Now, I like Skyline Chili a lot and have done reviews on their 4-Way Chili and also on their Cheese Coney Dog here on the blog and gave them both positive reviews and said how much I liked them.  That said, not even I am dumb enough to think that what I was eating was one of the ten best meals in America.  Totally absurd and I think most, if not all, people would agree with me that Skyline Chili does not belong on this list as the best example of chili.  I’m not going to sit here and pretend that I’ve actually eaten the best chili in America and name the place that provides it, but what I am going to say is that I know if I did eat the best chili in America, it wouldn’t be at Skyline Chili.

Anyway, just some food for thought (like the pun?) today to hopefully entertain you on a random Tuesday.

Kind of food related, but WTF IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE!!!!????  I first heard about Fire in the Hole on Tosh.0 (btw, probably the funniest show on TV right now).  Comment below…

SeriousEats.com is an interesting website.  It’s mostly useless and boring, but from time to time, they post something that is entertaining and/or funny.  In fact, we’ve actually gotten several “fluff” posts out of material that they post on their site.  I’ll even embarrassingly admit that I’ve taken a recipe or cooking technique off of there in the past.

Anyway, this article is an example of one of those good posts as it gives you an all-inclusive guide on how to attack a buffet.  As someone who has put a hurtin’ on dozens of buffets in my life and as someone who once was so full that he had to be driven home from a Ryan’s Steakhouse buffet while lying in the backseat of his own car, I found the topic to be very close to home.

It’s a long read, but if you stick with the entire thing, you are sure to get some laughs because the article is written mostly in jest.  I laughed hysterically at the Preparation portion of the article because I’ve actually done some of those things in order to make my buffet performance more comfortable and my eating prowess all that much better.

So, if you are looking for a way to fill a few minutes today and are also looking for a laugh or two, give the article a shot.
