Mealtime! #18 – How much should a turkey wrap cost?
What: Turkey Wrap Where: Cafe Azafran (3700 San Martin Dr, Johns Hopkins Homewood) How Much: $8.50 Synopsis: It’s not often that I would use Mealtime! to disparage something I’m eating, but this turkey wrap – despite its decent flavor – was small and exceedingly expensive considering you could just as easily get the same thing one block away at a place like Hopkins Deli. I mean, daaaaayamn it’s expensive. Anybody else out there have an opinion on the matter? How much should a turkey wrap cost? View the Mealtime! Map … Read entire article »

Mealtime! #16
What: Flag Pizza (large, 16″) Where: Joe Squared (133 W North Ave., Charles North) How Much: $23 (yikes!) Synopsis: Posting anything about Joe Squared is kind of an afterthought since practically everyone knows it’s a superior place to get a ‘gourmet’ pizza. And this pizza, split into three different pizzas (standard cheese, four cheese, pesto and mozzarella) is living …er, pizza proof of that. Each section has a distinct flavor, and the 16″ pie was large enough to split between 3 people. Which for $23 comes out to be around 8 bucks a head, which is pretty reasonable. I did note, however, that the “flag” aspect of the pizza is supposed to be Italy (right?) but the cheddar adorning the middle portion makes it yellow, which apparently is the flag for Mali. Eh, whichever … Read entire article »

5 totally horrifying movies for Halloween Week
Being that it’s now officially the five days leading up to Halloween, I thought I’d share with you folks what I feel are five of the most horrifying feature flicks out there. I can safely say that watching these films in order once a day until Halloween will probably make you insane in some way shape or form. And a word of caution: these videos are pretty effing scary. And without further ado… 5. The Thing John Carpenter’s 1982 flick about a team of researchers in Antarctica that encounter a …Thing. I personally cannot believe that this movie is 27 years old and the special effects really and truly hold up. It’s an awesome, scary, aweseome movie. 4. Dawn of the Dead (2004) Purists love the original, but 2004′s DotD (Zack Snyder) is like 1978′s … Read entire article »

Secret Girlfriend – not so secretly horrible
It’s not often that I feel strongly enough about a television product to elicit a comment by my mouth and fingers in typing form, but Comedy Central’s new show “Secret Girlfriend” has truly gotten my hackles up. See that banner? You already know this show sucks, right? Well. Wait, let me backtrack a bit. If you’ve never heard of Secret Girlfriend – and you’re lucky that you haven’t, the premise is this: It’s a zany, horny, beer soaked romp through the main character’s life as he tries to escape the clutches of his psycho ex-girlfriend (or is he ?), all while trying to secure the affections of the sporty, beer-loving, cute, understanding, and essentially perfect (aka essentially fictional) other girl, ALL WHILE HIS BROSEPHS COMMIT TOTALLY CRAZY ANTICS!!! A totally original … Read entire article »

Mealtime! #13
Continuing the “I’m a big dumb tourist who likes to follow Anthony BOREdain’s travels” Mealtime! series… What: Cold Seafood Platter, Calamari Appetizer Where: Mo’s Crab and Pasta Factory How Much: $15.99 for the platter, $8.99 for the calamari Synopsis: I have heard ten billion horror stories and ten billion happy stories about the service and quality of food at Mo’s over the years, and by the time I got there after not having been there since the age of about six, I was ready for pretty much anything. I can say pretty safely now that Mo’s is a place for locals, and the people who get pissed off about the service are tourists or transplants. It’s as simple as that. I won’t go into why for the sake of wall of text syndrome, just trust … Read entire article »
