  • If you hate Andrew Zimmern and his disgusting habit of talking with his mouth full while making gross, wet mouth noises...you're not alone.

  • Chick teabaggin'. Oh, sorry, Chick-fil-A.

  • Chicago Foodies thinks you'll like tomato bread pudding.

  • Lifehacker (how we love you!) had a great, simple recipe on how to make cold-brewed coffee.

  • Hello, Padma. Rrrawr. Gives 'Top Chef' new meaning. (NOTE: SHE IS NAKED. Nothing showing but NSFW, nonetheless.)

  • We won't say what a dried persimmon looks like. No matter how those taste, we have RNC Tea-Bagging flashbacks just from looking.

  • Borsch! Learn how to make it and more about the history of the mighty beet, courtesy of Hungrymag.
