Two Toots Railroad Restaurant

While in the 'burbs of Chicago we visited a neat little train-themed restaurant called 2 Toots. The restaurant has model trains running through the dining area to bring food out from the kitchen, which would be reason enough to visit again. But what I really love about this restaurant are the burgers (pressed thin so that the edges get crisp) and the milkshakes (thick, creamy, served in metal mixing cup). Delicious!

Gluttonfest V: The Empire Snack Packs

This is the fifth Gluttonfest competitive eating contest Vincent and I have held. The playing field this time is a ten pack of White Castle hamburgers each. The first to finish their ten pack, without any food intake reversal, wins.

We were tied before this match - Vincent won the first two matches (meatball subs and breadsticks) while I won the second two matches (ben & jerry's ice cream and girl scout thin mints).

Po-tay-toes!

This spring we had some rotten potatoes beginning to sprout in our kitchen, so I planted them. I just dug up a few of them last week and they look pretty tasty:

Two have already been eaten - I made a small batch of homemade potato chips; they were delicious.

Strange Bubbling Watermelon

I've documented some weird food issues before (e.g. the Dr. Pepper incident and the black bean incident). Turns out our watermelons are strange too:

This particular melon was purchased 4 days before the video was shot, and we ate it's brother melon (they come in two packs) the previous day with no incident (other than that alien thingy jumping out of my stomach). Any ideas on whats going on here?
