Breakfast is the hardest meal to do right. A few wrong turns and you end up on a fatty trip to Sweetsville where heart attacks hide down every alley way. A successful breakfast provider is one that is able to create a special meal in a way that the consumer enjoys it but doesn't feel deathly afterwards. Of course, they also have to be able to offer the fatty and sugary stuff for those who want it. Not too healthy but not a Wafflehouse impersonator either. This is not easy to do. Pinky's Diner is [...]

Hopefully you've been keeping up with the exploits of Patron-loving Houston MC Marcus Manchild as he winds his way toward Warehouse Live with Method Man, Big K.R.I.T. and a bunch of others on th... Continue reading "Houston Rappers Freak Out Indiana KFC Diners" >
In an effort to attract younger audiences to the theater, producers of Broadway musicals have looked at past Hollywood movies to stage a number of new shows over the last decade or so to various degrees of success. The latest film to be mined for The Great White Way, is one near and dear to my heart, as yesterday it was announced that Sheryl Crow will be teaming up with Barry Levinson to turn his 1982 coming of age movie Diner into a musical that is set to debut in the fall of 2012. According to a [...]
By Davis McGraw In addition to unskilled labor, songwriting and looking for pre-1979 Fleetwood Mac records at yard sales, my human experience has been defined, for better or worse, by days and nights spent in cheap diners. This column is about all those times, tracks, faces, plates and places. While growing up in Vermont, a hallmark of the summertime was the after-dinner walk my family took once or twice a week. We’d leave with the sun still peeking over the treetops, casting long shadows on the warm pavement as we strolled down the hill from our quiet neighborhood cluster into [...]
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas. In more ways than one, as the ongoing inclement weather indicates. Consider yourself lucky if you haven’t been affected by snow. Regardless of this, however, we’re rolling on into December, and MFM’s thoughts are turning to the year that was. 2010, all things considered, had some very good albums, and a few exceptional ones. After a debate, countless revisions and some last-minute additions (quite literally in certain cases), Jamie and Gareth are proud to present their favourite albums of the year: one for each day in the run-up [...]
If you live around the Grand or Graham L train stops than there's a good chance you're quite familiar with Grand Morelos. It's a 24 hour diner and bakery on Grand and Graham that specializes in authentic Mexican fare. It's pretty roomy and if you can't get a table you can always pull up a stool and sit at the rather long counter. The food at Grand Morelos can be broken up into three
Here’s the latest batch of mini movie reviews as I check my way through movie lists by watching a lot of “classic” films. This week’s films deal with teenage to young adult men dealing with no longer being children and trying to get the girl. Gregory’s Girl. In this Scottish film, written and directed by Bill Forsyth, John Gordon Sinclair is Gregory, a gawky teenager on a losing football team. His coach moves Gregory to goalkeeper and searches for new players. The newest addition to the team, Dorothy, quickly becomes a star player and garners the attention of most of [...]
I forgot to post one other video yesterday. Here's drunk Katie smacking herself in the face with a full glass of whiskey and Coke. A few minutes later, I smacked myself in the teeth with the same glass. If you needed any more evidence of how plastered we were, look no further than this video . My last day at home was mostly boring, then largely entertaining, then a little depressing. I will now recount the events of the day for your in the manner with which I am most comfortable: another stupid blog post. By the [...]

I might of skipped the part where I've been constantly purchasing eurostar tickets on my previous post, but yeah, I've been constantly purchasing eurostar tickets. I guess London just made me realize how great Paris really is. Not convinced? Paris is holding a porn festival . What is London holding? Sure, I'm not aware of half of the things that are being held here, but I rather be stubborn (mostly because for some reason, London doesn't want it's population to eat decent food). So in that state of mind, I decided to outdo TimeOut, and have my own take [...]
