Who knew that lunch could be this awesome? After the jump, more incredibly nerdy bento boxes.

Happy May Day. Go out and celebrate the workers of the world (if you’re really into Propaghandi) or Walpurgisnacht (if you prefer Sabbath). Either way, drink a Maibock.
Think of Maibock as sort of the traditional German equivalent of malt liquor. It’s light in color and body, sweet and dangerously high in alcohol. Unlike malt liquor, […]

Every week, Young, Dumb and Full of Beer will highlight a different beer. Sometimes it will highlight a couple of beers. Usually they will be local, since Philly has some of the best breweries in the country, but sometimes I will throw in a beer from elsewhere. It will be nerdy, but hopefully approachable, even […]

I didn’t even know the Phils were playing a home exhibition game on friday but my boy Ed asked me to tag along to the game so of course i went! First things first i went to section 128 to make sure they had veggie dogs. Bingo! They did and I snatched up two immediately […]

Have you ever wondered to yourself “What do you think The Cult’s Ian Astbury has been up to lately? Do you think he likes cupcakes??”
 Sometimes I wonder about things like that…

Here is a special treat for you all: taco and enchilada themed tattoos. You didn’t think they existed, did you?
I can’t even think of anything witty to say about them. They’re just too much. Hit the jump for a cornucopia of the best of the worst.

We were pleasantly surprised to find out our hostel gives us free
breakfast. It consisted of all different kinds of bread, butter,
cheese, jams, and some weird canned meat. Praise Allah this bread is good. Now I’d only the American broads staying next […]

The Philadelphia Inquirer, in an article that could have been ripped from a punk rock fanzine circa 1992, asks: Can meat-eaters and vegetarians get along?
“This is the time of year we place a cooked brown carcass on the table, then reach inside its body cavity and scoop out powerfully odoriferous items that people are expected […]

I first read about this in the Sept 2007 issue of Smithsonian Magazine. The article was about a device called a molinillo, which is basically a fancy stick used to stir chocolate drinks. Anyways, the article talks a little bit about the history of chocolate and how the world’s changing and people buy chocolate in […]

Yo, you know how like every band or artists or whoever is always like “Anytime people are writing or talking about you it is good publicity!”  Okaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!
Check it, Philly writer moves to NYC and then has nothing to write about New York-wise for the New York Times so she writes about Philly being the 6th Borough (and […]

This weekend pretty much has something for everyone. You’ve got your indie-rock nerd shows, your dance-til-you-puke DJ events, your Mexican wrestling, your eternal salvation and enlightenment…you get the idea.

mmmmmmm…….Laser Cut meats! Now if they would have only spelled out mooooo!!! Check out how it is done after the jump!

So last week I was discussing a particular Anthony Bourdain episode of No Reservations with a friend. It was the one where he visits the Pacific Northwest and discovers food-inspired tattoos, geoducks and…maple-bacon doughnuts. Yes, maple-bacon doughnuts, but this is not what I want to share with you my friends. I introduce to you nature’s […]

This past Sunday I attended Mass with my parents for the first time in a few years. Not much has changed. Actually, nothing has. Still saying the same prayers, still singing the same songs I couldn’t beleive I still remembered the words. Catholic music being bad is kind of a cultural cliche’. Other religions have […]

Being the Pizza Nazi that I am, a trip to the Jersey Shore is never complete with out a stop at Ocean City’s “World Famous” Mack and Manco Pizza. After a full day of frying my skin and being pummeled by Dirty Jerz’s righteous waves nothing quite caps a trip to the shore better than […]

I have found my true calling at last. Candy and Coffee reviewer.When my friend brought to my attention the fact that Hershey’s was about to unleash upon us a new variety of Reeses Peanut Butter Cup. I was at once excited, hungry, and oddly horny.

Here at the FV Cult Compound we love us some candy. Today we were stoked to see this new little camo coated kiss by Hershey. It’s pretty weird though really and i have conflicting feelings about it (USA USA USA). The kisses themselves are wrapped in an almost traditional woodland camo foil as seen above. […]

Yeah, I know that it’s old news that this place has actually been re-opened for business with new management and a fancypants new menu for about a week now.  I’m not writing this to celebrate the opening.  I’m writing this to say goodbye.
Look, I’m sure that the new Silk City is kinda sorta like the […]

you know that your movement is either on the brink of being co-opted or just being torn down as a total joke (that it was trying not to ever slip into) when the NEW YORK TIMES starts covering you.
goodbye freeganism. now you’ll just be known as some stupid thing for ugly chicks (check all […]

I forgot to add this but it might as well be it’s own post. Tonight and tomorrow is the St. Maron’s Lebanese Festival in South Philly. I love going to this every year. In the church hall you have all kinds of amazing food at decent prices, plus lot’s of booze. Plenty of Lebanese chicks, […]
