Bikini Burger

If you are part of the west coast readership contingency, a Hills watcher or enjoy the image of hot girls eating hot meat, you may have seen the Carl's Junior add campaign featuring Audrina Patridge scarfing down delectable looking burgers. While truly saucy I've seen too many episodes of the biggest loser (I swear it's addictive) to know that drive through will not land you a hills caliber bod... Sucks, right? So in an effort to feed your fast food cravings in a delicious but healthful way here ya go...




Turkey burgers and Yam “fries” (serves 2)

Ingredients
Lean ground turkey breast- 2 burgers worth
BBQ sauce (I like Stubbs)
Garlic powder or minced garlic
2 English muffins
1 red onion - chopped into slices
2 medium sized yams - peeled and cut into fry size pieces
Paprika
PAM (cooking spray)

“Fries”
-Coat baking sheet in aluminum foil and spray foil with PAM.
-Put chopped yams on foil covered pan.
-Drizzle 2 spoonfuls of olive oil on yam pieces and shake on lots of salt and pepper
-Toss yams to coat all.
-Sprinkle paprika on yams.
-Chop onion into round slices and thrown on the same pan with the yams
-Put in oven and bake at 450 degrees for about 20-25 minutes - shaking around every 10 mins so side fries don't burn

Burgers
-Add salt pepper, a tsp of garlic pepper and 2 spoonfuls of BBQ sauce to the meat. Mix up and form two patties
-Imprint your thumb into the center of the burger so the center cooks evenly.
-Spray frying pan with Pam and cook burger till cooked through (no longer pink in the center)
-Serve on toasted English muffin with baked onions and a side of yam fries.

I swear, you'll be toooootaally obsessed!

Maestro Knows

Maestro Knows - Episode 2 (Anthony Hamilton) from Maestro Knows on Vimeo.

In the running vignette of average guys who somehow live the dream*, behold Levi Maestro. By all accounts, Levi Maestro is an ordinary dude that seems to kind of just bum around LA. He might work at clothing store ALife, but I'm not really sure.

Anyways, he seems to be starting a video channel called Maestro Knows. The style is kind of like the Jeannie Tate interview-while-driving-a-minivan style, but less awkward and more awesome (see what I did there?).

So catch Levi doing everything I want to do, including some pretty normal dude stuff, like try to dunk a basketball and eat In-N-Out (above). The key difference is that he does it while wearing $1,800 shoes or hanging out with Grammy Award winners. Dick.
