PYT Makes Saturday Night Live, SNL Makes a Joke at Philly’s Expense

Posted by Foobooz on January 28th, 2013

PYT’s bacon taco shell made The Weekend Update on Saturday Night Live this week. Host Seth Meyers also took a shot at Philadelphia in the piece, but then we wouldn’t expect anything more from the hacks on Saturday Night Live.

Six Pack: Bacon Bacon Bacon

Posted by Maegan Cadet on October 12th, 2012

Editor’s Note: This week, we’re going to be introducing our new army of interns to you, the Foobooz readership. And it occurred to us that what better way for you to get to know them a little then for them to tell you all about something they loved to eat? Thus, we set them each to assembling their own Foobooz Six Pack, focusing on something they craved.

For our final Six Pack this week, we’d like to introduce Maegan Cadet–a sophomore at the University of Pennsylvania pursuing a Bachelor’s Degree in English and Fine Arts. She’ll eat anything saturated with carbs and will drink anything with caffeine. While she is a self-professed “pretend foodie,” she prides herself in knowing a good croissant when she tastes one. 

Here’s her introductory Six Pack: Three courses of bacon-wrapped, bacon-spiked and bacon-infused goodness, proving that one can never have enough bacon (that is, until it runs out).

Aporkalypse Not

September 27th, 2012

“But is the shortage real? And does it even have anything to do with bacon in particular? Are we headed for a dystopian future of food lines and bacon rationing?

Not really.”

Slate sets the record straight on all this “Bacon Shortage” bullshit
