Today's Snacktime: It's One Banana, Michael. What Could It Cost, $10?

AD's Bluth's Original Banana Stand comes to NYC

May 13, 2013 1:02 pm

Now you don't have to call it the OC, cause Bluth's Original Frozen Banana Stand has left the Orange for the Apple. Wow, that's too many fruits. Yes, tipped off by a friend who's just as unabashedly obsessed with Arrested Development as I am, I'll be getting a GOB (GOB!) on my snack break today — a crane dropped them off right over by Rockefeller Center.

I may be all caught up on the books (yup, I know what happens, now who wants to touch me?) but that didn't preclude me from counting down the minutes to last night's Game Of Thrones premiere. Hang onto your nipples and check out this video from MTV Geek, with Natalie Dormer/Lady Margaery and the MTV geek himself, Steve Smith. Ready for some awkward pear peeling?

Restaurant Wars are heading to Southeast Asia

Mar 29, 2013 2:01 pm

The next most exciting incarnation of Top Chef may not be in Portland or at the Jersey Shore after all. NBC Universal announced yesterday that they've sealed deals to expand the Top Chef franchise to Spain and Indonesia (NBC's first deal in Southeast Asia).

Bob's Burger Of The Day Tumblr Makes Us Want To Spend $5.95

One admirable soul rounded up all of Bob's Burgers

Jan 23, 2013 12:02 pm

I get really into the Bob's Burgers specials. I even tried to make up my own once: The Good, The Bad and the Chutney. But the nice folks in the writer's room (who penned this awesome list for Food Republic) put me to shame.

We're Already Planning Our 'Arrested Development' Screening Party. The Menu?

Poisoned muffins, mayonneggs, frozen bananas (obvs)

Dec 20, 2012 12:32 pm

In honor of the fake Arrested Development episodes on Netflix, I thought I'd share the menu for the epic AD party I've been dreaming of for so long. We all decided you have to come in costume and stay in character. I'm being fake pregnant Maggie Lizer. Paul's being Gene Parmesean. Hathanh's being Anyong. We already found some washable blue paint. And how hard could it really be to locate a hand hook?
