This recipe for French toast from Top Chef's Richard Blais uses buttery brioche for an extra-rich brunch experience. Use long cinnamon sticks to skewer them and infuse with extra cinnamon flavor. Following the food on a stick theory, these are better than any kind of regular French toast we can think of. Mmm. The recipe, after the jump.

Our 15 Favorite Lobster Stories Ever

Lobster tips, videos... cologne and motocycles?!
May 18, 2013 2:31 pm

Warm weather never fails to incite a lobster craving. Soft, buttery lobster rolls are a given, but catching, storing and cooking them ourselves never gets old, either. There's a recipe in there for lobster steak, an actual steak made from actual lobster, reasons why and why not to buy and spritz on lobster cologne and maybe most importantly, a pretty awesome motorcycle made from a whole lobster shell. We may not know art, but we know what we want to eat.

I'm particularly proud of the Smashed Potato Bomb, as I am with Quesadillas Benedict, because I made it up on the spot and it took exactly 10 minutes to cook. Well, that's not entirely true, I had a leftover baked potato from the night before, so that shaved off about half an hour. After you bake the potato (or if you use leftovers), it takes 10 minutes.

Just In Time For Cookout Season: Oscar Meyer Bacon Dogs

Hmm. Avoid altogether...or wrap in more bacon?
May 17, 2013 3:01 pm

I imagine a fight to the death between a chicken, a turkey and a pig...and an animated slab of bacon, I guess, resulting in Oscar Meyer's brand-new bacon dog. Is the media going hog-wild? You bet your chicken-ham. More after the jump.
