There really isn’t much in this world more loved and cherished than food. This is why nearly every type of food has a festival or two celebrating people’s love of putting it inside their bodies. Many are unaware that today, January 12th, is the Feast of Fabulous Wild Men. This holiday simply celebrates pigging out like a wild man. We here at COED want to pay homag… Click to read more

You might have heard the phrase “Cheddar Makes It Better,” but cheese ain’t got nothin’ when it comes to beggin bacon. That’s right, there’s a host of stuff made instantly better with bacon: mayonnaise, cupcakes, ice cream and even Skyrim helmets. It goes without saying that the pig is going to make anything it touches better, so we’re only limited by our imagination. Here are 120 ground-breaking inventors and philosophers who have tried to bring the diet-staple into every aspect of our lives. Check out their ideas after the jump!

YouTube sensations Epic Meal Time are generally considered extreme because of their unrelenting use of booze and bacon in every meal. They eat off of various items typically used to harm others (wooden paddles, chainsaws, swords) slug Jack Daniels like water, and spit in the face of every Whole Foods-shopping, organic, free range-only, diet-conscious American who’d rather starve to death than eat a Chicken McNugget. So, in honor of Cook Something Bold Day, we decided to run down the list of extreme chefs that could give EMT a run for their dough. Check it out after the jump.

November 3rd is National Sandwich Day, which celebrates the birthday of John Montagu, the fourth Earl of Sandwich. Dude wanted to eat his meal with one hand during a 24-hour gambling event, so he instructed his servants to serve him his lunchmeat between two slices of bread. Few foods have done as much culturally as the sandwich has, so we’re featuring some of the most outrageous and unique ones. Just be warned that once you’re done reading this, you might never be satisfied with eating anything “normal” ever again. Check ‘em out after the jump.

October 5th is Ray Kroc’s birthday. Who the f*** is Ray Kroc? He was the genius that bought out some local burger joint called McDonald’s back in 1954 and turned it into the juggernaut that it is today. Although Kroc died back in 1984 of heart failure (I’m thinking too many Big Macs or an intense lap dance or possibly both, the dude was 81) he will always be remembered for changing the way the world eats, but there are many things about the iconic Golden Arches you might not know. Check ‘em out along with our gallery of funny, WTF McDonald’s photos and some kick-ass Kroc-isms after the jump…

Maybe it’s because I always see Top Chefs do it, maybe it’s become I’m a borderline alcoholic; but to me, cooking with alcohol has always been the height of sophistication. Of course, the same cannot be said for the contents of my liquor cabinet, so I had to settle for these recipes. They’re all pretty good, especially if you drink the booze while you mix it in. Check out the greatest recipes to use with a college-level liquor selection after the jump.

I’m going to tell you a secret. Most of the delicious and impressive meals your friends have cooked you, they didn’t cook. The trick to making a meal seem totally home made is great boxed side dishes. After all, why do you think there is a Trader Joe’s in almost every college town? Here are some of the best boxed side dishes for every type of meal. Check ‘em out after the jump.

Broke ass college dudes can live off protein shakes and power bars in lieu of meals, especially in the post-spring break “Damn I’m fat” gym-heading season. But can these cheap ass meals-in-a-bar actually replace real food? Some say yes, as the lack of moisture can keep packed goods from decaying and the powdered form is more easily broken down. Others say you miss the grit from the real source. We have Registered Dietitian Rachel Tobin, M.S., R.D. whey in on the matter. Check out the good, the bad, and the ugly after the jump.
Munchies are the unavoidable consequence of smokin’ the reefer. Many would say the experience satisfying one’s case of the munchies is almost like having sex. So, what is it about Mary Jane that makes us want to eat so much (and enjoy it more than usual)? While our tokin’ broseph breaks down the science behind weed’s effect on our bodies, we give YOU the munchies with this mega gallery of straight up stoner food porn. Try not to eat the screen.

Some countries enjoy bratwurst, others sausages, but we in ‘Merica loves us some hot dogs. As a country, we show our love by devoting today, National Hot Dog Day, to the delicious treat. As a website, we show our love by posting 92 chicks putting weiners in their mouths. Aren’t we patriotic? Yes, you can show your support by throwing some on the grill later. For now, though, check out these 92 ‘not-dogs’ enjoying some hot dogs.

Humans evolved to like fatty, fatty foods. The more calories packed into the smaller package, the better. Why? Because before refrigerators, we were afraid we wouldn’t come across food for a while. This could be one reason why I looooove peanut butter so much (at least I’m telling myself that). I can pick up on the tiniest hint of it in anything. Those are my ancestral fat-feelers going off. Anyways, if you feel the same way about the creamy stuff, or if you’re just drunk and finally have the guts to eat this often guilt-ridden food, you might like these alternative ways to use it. Check out our rad recipes after the jump.

July 21st is National Junk Food Day, which should be pretty self-explanatory. Just last week, news broke that Frito-Lay would put Cheesy Poofs into production, with plans to manufacture 1.5 million 2 3⁄8 ounce bags sold at the somewhat ridiculous price of $2.99 each. To honor these 2 momentous occasions we decided to take a look at some other fictional foods we hope make it to the marketplace (at a lower cost) in real life. Is this real life? We hope not. Check it out and let us know if we missed any in the comments after the jump.
In today’s world, there’s an app for pretty much anything. And within these ‘anything’ categories, there are hundreds of individual apps to choose from. What should you buy? What should you try out? COED sorts out the best from the rest in our Apps of the Week feature. This week, we focus on things that will help you become a culinary wonder. Considering that you drop your phone in the toilet when using the bathroom, I’d consider keeping your phone away from any and all pots.
