Man Food: Bourbon Bleu Burgers

Last time here on Man Food, we discussed preparing and cooking with charcoal, and it's high-time we put some food onto those beautiful briquettes. If you lack grilling capacity, this recipe is versatile enough that it can be cooked in a skillet or on a griddle as well. The very first step, and this step is mandatory, is to take a look around and make sure nobody is watching. This recipe is top-secret. I'm sharing it with you, the esteemed members of BC, and you alone. If done well (and it's easy to do this well) these burgers will be requested of you at every cookout you attend. What You'll Need: 2lbs ground beef – Get the 80/20 kind (80% lean, 20%... Read More

As you may (or may not) have heard, Glamour Magazine published a now infamous article in 1997 titled 30 Things Every Woman Should Have and Know By the Time She’s 30. Back then, it became so popular that women shared it (the old fashioned way, you know, before Facebook had a “share” button) and credited the article to all sorts of famous people. Glamour actually had a book written based solely on the article. The same article, and a few derivative spin-offs with titles like “The REAL list of Things Women Should Know” and “The Feminist’s List of 30 Things Women Should Know” have been making their way around...

Today in our Essentials series we’re going to take a look at something that's beginning to take off for adults in what was once a child dominated field: electric scooters. If you walk through the streets of cities like Austin, Paris, St. Louis, or (especially) San Francisco you'll inevitably see rechargeable electric scooters wherever you go. Scooters have become a unique and relatively inexpensive way to quickly explore a city. For clarification, we're not talking about the large electric Vespa-like scooters, we're talking about simple two wheeled kick scooters (like the Razor brand scooters) with an electric motor. It's pretty easy to get started... Read More

This one goes out to all of the Cube Heads out there - that's right, I said Cube Heads. No longer am I going to let us be condescended upon by that awful term Cube "Monkeys". It is such a blatant derivative of an animal that loves routine and lacks thought, we're more than that. No, no, no, from here on out we are to be referred to as "Cube Heads" an obvious relation to our Rock star brother, the Metal Head. Today we tackle the personalities of the people you will encounter in your typical office setting. Notice I said typical office setting. I'm talking about your classic, men and women of all ages and races office... Read More

Editor's Note: We want to help our readers understand the mind of a woman. In our continuing series, Laura Brautigam-Anderson tells us guys about books that women enjoy. Enjoy...and learn. Before Bridget Jones had a diary…before walks were remembered…before sex was in the city…there were good stories about women. Let’s face it - if your girl has never heard of Elizabeth Bennett, Jo March, or Laura Ingalls, you’re probably dating Snooki. Most of the girls I know (and all of the girls worth dating) have at least one classic chick lit book on their list of favorites. I’ve taken the opportunity to de-code some of the most... Read More

Five Unexpected Pregnancy Expenses Yeah, babies cost a lot of money. A LOT of money. But pregnancy isn't so cheap either. Here are a few expenses that you never saw coming. 1. Clothes Okay, so maybe you saw this one coming. After all, your wife is going to be going up more than a few sizes. But she not only needs new pants and shirts - she needs new everything from shoes to underwear. Everything's growing! Helpful Hint: Maternity clothes are forever being passed around, from sister to sister-in-law to best friend. Because they're only worn for about six months they're pretty gently used. If you want to buy... Read More

Did you know there was a handbook for guys? We crack open the old pages of this book and post it here in a column called (get ready for it) BC Rules. This time, we're taking a look at men's shower etiquette. Enjoy! Zone 1 - Hair - This should always be washed first. There are two purposes here: 1) Washing your hair of course, and 2) after you wash your hair you'll be able to wash your face with no concern for dirt being transferred into your mouth or eyes. Your hair conveniently works as a loofah, and your hair tends not to be as dirty as an area like "Zone 5." Zone 2 - Face - It's important to wash your face. Mainly to keep your... Read More
