Yuck! Chinese Restaurant Caught Tenderizing Meat On The Sidewalk Outside

(PCM) A stomach turning discovery was recently made at a San Francisco Chinese restaurant called Lucky River. An employee of the restaurant was caught tenderizing frozen meat outside on a dirty sidewalk.

The question in everyone’s mind after thinking about how disgusting this was, is also just why anyone would be slamming the sidewalk with pounds of frozen meat. The San Francisco health inspector paid a visit to the restaurant and when asked about the incident was told that the employee was only trying to defrost the meat.

The owner of the restaurant urges diners not to worry as the meat has been thrown away and the cook has since been fired.… Full Story

Anyone Else Offended By The New Weight Watchers Commercial?

(PCM) Last night during my viewing of The Walking Dead’s mid-season finale, I caught a new commercial from Weight Watchers that left me a bit baffled. In fact, it wasn’t even until the end of the commercial that I realized that I was even viewing a commercial for Weight Watchers.

It was always my opinion that Weight Watchers was anti fat shaming, however the advertisement that I viewed truly seemed to promote the direct opposite. Playing on the popular kid’s tune “Happy And You Know It”, the commercial featured people who were both happy and sad chowing down on a variety of snack food items such as cake, ice cream, corn dogs and more.… Full Story

Turkey Recall Circulating Social Media Turns Out To Be A Hoax

(PCM) We all know just how fast false information can spread, especially in the day and age of social media. Many people who are gearing up to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday received quite a scare when a “new report” began circulating online claiming that millions of frozen turkeys were being recalled.

The report claimed that the turkeys were being recalled because they contained a dangerous illness that could be transferred to humans and was not destroyed by cooking the bird. The fake report even quoted the CDC (Centers For Disease Control) claiming “The CDC has confirmed that millions of turkeys have been recalled due to safety concerns over an avian virus that the birds may be harboring.”

Here’s the issue: No one at the CDC has made such a statement and the supposed “new report” is from a very well-known fictitious site called The National Report.… Full Story

Teens Sarcastically Use Hash Tag #ThanksMichelleObama To Vent About Gross School Lunches

(PCM) Teens across the nation have sarcastically began using the hash tag #ThanksMichelleObama to vent their frustrations and utter disgust with the very gross and unappetizing “healthy” lunch options being offered in their schools.

Would you want this for school lunch? Why some are students saying #ThanksMichelleObama http://t.co/7QAzr5vS0r pic.twitter.com/XdBS7X2TQP

— Emanuella Grinberg (@grinsli) November 22, 2014

Seriously, a lot of the food pictured in the images posted by the teens on social media looks like some kind of animal slop, certainly not an appetizing and healthy lunch that we would expect our school children to be receiving. School lunches have to comply with the USDA food regulations which are highly supported by First Lady Michelle Obama who continues her fight against childhood obesity.… Full Story

Have You Heard About The ‘Ramnut’?

(PCM) Don’t worry neither had we until we discovered this odd ball culinary creation by UCLA college student Joshua Scherer. Scherer took Instant Ramen, the poor college student’s meal of choice and crafted it into the “Ramnut”.

Yes, the “Ramnut” is a doughnut created by mixing Instant Ramen noodles with various other ingredients. Scherer says creating the “Ramnut” took six packs of ramen and about twelve hours to complete.

The ‘Ramnut’s’ are boiled in horchata (cinnamon-spiced milk), molded and stuffed with custard or jam, then fried in oil, frosted and sprinkled. Scherer told ABC News, that they taste exceptional and have a flavor profile that is really similar to rice pudding and a texture like kugel.… Full Story
