We were amused that someone found containseggs today by searching the term “cocaine travel guide.” We were equally amused that we’re only the sixth link in a Google search for “cocaine travel guide.” Perhaps this travel trend is more popular than we realized. Life and satire seem to stick pretty closely together.
This pic is from concourse A at Hartsfield Airport in Atlanta. No food says “grab and go” for a crowded flight quite like muffuletta. (For those of you who aren’t familiar, a muffuletta is a giant, messy sandwich with multiple meats topped with a sloppy, oily olive salad spread. The picture sums it up.)
Also my favorite post-Beatles Paul McCartney album

Why must every sandwich, soup or entree I order now contain roasted red peppers? What inspires a chef to say, “This roast beef sandwich tastes almost perfect . . . now all it needs is a charred wad of wet slime that will overpower every other flavor with a combination of mushy, sweet bitterness and a strong potting soil aftertaste.”?
And suddenly they have infiltrated every single dish. “Tonight’s dessert special is a strawberry cheesecake made with roasted red peppers instead of strawberries. And also instead of cheesecake.”
Just how powerful is the roasted red pepper lobby (Big Pepper?) to have promoted such total saturation of our culinary culture? It all became clearer last week:
