The Ultimate Hamburger?
A hundred bucks might buy you more than six dozen burgers from McDonald's, but the swanky Old Homestead Steakhouse will sell you one brawny beef sandwich for the same price.
Boca Raton Mayor Steven Abrams could barely speak between bites as he devoured the 20-ounce, $100 hamburger billed as the "beluga caviar of sandwiches."(More)

"Ugachaka" must be german for "Upchuck"
Just when you thought there wasn't anything more hideous and grotesque than Nacho Choda...
A new day has dawned, and evil has a face*...

A most wonderful time of the year
We are coming to the end of a time that takes place only once a year. It starts each year in late March or early April and runs to about the beginning of July. That's right, its road kill season. Each year thousands, perhaps millions of animals learn the maxim; "look both ways before crossing the street," the hard way. As most animals are born in the spring there are many little creatures whose first trembling steps take them right into the path of a speeding truck. This is the best test for evolution I've ever heard of. Theoretically, species all over the world should be gearing up their beneficial mutations to conquer the road. Some should be getting faster than cars, some should be developing armor capable of withstanding a hit, and some, the really cool animals, will be developing the instinct to not cross the road. It's an exciting time to be alive.

Choda
A token of my misspent time in college, Choda is a blend of the words cheese and soda. Choda is in fact a carbonated cheese beverage. Yes, it’s every bit as nasty as it sounds. Choda came in three unholy flavors, Cheddar, Swiss, and the original flavor, Nacho. Choda is the creation of Joe Howard, a friend of mine from college. One of Joe's primary features was that he was always drunk, or broke, one or the other. In a state such as that Mad Science, and thus Choda, seems a natural choice. Joe's uncle owned some sort of cannery and Joe, just for kicks, would can nacho cheese. Not a bad idea in itself. The revolutionary step was to add carbonation. Little in this world can describe the horror of carbonated Nacho cheese. Having taken and imbibed this ghastly concoction Joe looked upon his work and opined, "It’s good." He was wrong.
That didn't stop him from creating more of the abomination. He added some sort of fey chemical to melted cheddar cheese so it would stay liquid and then he carbonated and canned it. The madness continued and engulfed Swiss cheese. To my knowledge only 9 cans of this eldritch beverage, Choda, were ever produced. The initial can of creeping horror, Nacho Choda, then on the first 'product run' four more cans of Nacho Choda, two madness inducing cans of Cheddar Choda, and two evil cans of Swiss Choda. To my knowledge 7 of them still exist unopened. Thank God there are no pictures. The remaining cans are crouched somewhere out in the Nevada desert, waiting to harm thirsty passersby, like grotesque monsters in some low budget vampire movie.
