Back in the good ol’ days when color t.v. was new and the world had yet to go 3D, Kellogs released this nifty little ad. Their secret weapon for flavor superiority? Sugar. Baked in sugar.

What happens to food when it goes bad? Well, it rots. The enzymes and sugars in food continue to do their thing and take food past the point of being ripe and ready and begin to cause decay. Here are a collection of clips that demonstrate the process of decay.
Food Fail: Candwich
07.12.10
Life is a busy rat race. Between cubical decorating, water cooler gossip, football, hair appointments, drinking with boys, huffing glue, mani-pedis, shopping and reality shows, its a wonder anyone has time to eat. Lets face it, finding time to make those pesky meals is just too much sometimes. Eating is not about enjoying the ingredients and preparation of the meal, but simply about ensuring that you put something in your belly so you don’t feel that bothersome thing called hunger. For those who thought canned cheese was a wonderful invention…. Introducing canned sandwiches or, candwiches…

Gus and Guidos is quote “A Greek Italian Experience.”
An experience is definately what you get when you walk through the doors and sit down to have dinner at this establishment. My experience has left me wanting to drive into Toronto and get the taste of this terrible meal from my palette by eating at a actual Italian or Greek restaurant. Brantford has a long long way to go before it’ll have a Italian or Greek restaurant. It begs the question of why would you fused this two cuisines? Greek and Italian are in my opinion, two of the great cuisines in this world. So I can see the appeal of trying to fuse both under one roof but from this “experience” I now know that it should never happen, or be left in better, more capable hands. I’m really lost on where to begin, but i suppose that I should just got back to the beginning.

Yellow Griffin Pub
04.21.10
Finding ourselves in Bloor West and really craving a quality homemade burger, we decided to try out the Yellow Griffin Pub (Bloor and Runnymede) and wow, were we ever disappointed. Maybe our perception of a phenomenal restaurant involves too many ideals for it to be truly possible, but this place really didn’t even make the mediocre list. Let’s start with the decor; which, of course, reflected the classic pub style with dark wood table tops, benched booths and dim lighting. The waitress greeting us was very friendly but was completely over her head with the six or seven tables she was responsible for. I believe it took us almost as long to get our bill as it did to get our food. Found it very funny that they could afford to turn people down due to the lack of tables, while we sat waiting at an empty one ready to pay and leave.

Who wouldn’t like to eat a sanwich where the cold cuts looked like a lauging clown? Hahaha scary clown, I eat you. Vengeance is mine. Then I feel kinda gross in a cannibalistic way for eating a) mystery meat b) anthropomorphic meat.
New Generation Grill Fusion in the Annex

Just like any other korean grill house, you’re cooking your own meal in the little hot plates located in the center of each table. It’s a very neat idea for an interactive meal but really puts the pressure on the kitchen in order to produce phenomenal food without being able to cook it until the end.
