Now that the food truck thing is in full swing, it’s time to get out! Why bother spending 10s of thousands of dollars on a food truck when you can spend just thousands on a food cart? And set up couldn’t be easier. In fact, you don’t even have to leave the house. (Well, to get started at least; unless you have a very interesting living room, you’ll probably have to venture out sooner or later to sell some crepes.) Just a click away, waiting for you on Amazon is the Krampouz Semi-Circular Chocolate Crepe Cart For Gas Griddle. That’s right, for $3500 you can be rolling your way to starting a new business, and if you’re looking for an angle, try Korean-style crepes. I don’t think that’s been done. Yet.

Jars may be pretty convenient for food storage and transportation, but when it comes time to actually get into a jar, they can be pretty darn inconvenient! While the clear glass may help one to see what’s oh-so-close on the inside, it does little good when the lid is screwed on too tight. Luckily, physics has the answer: give the lid a handle to increase the leverage.

Now, instead of rushing off to go look for duct tape and a butter knife, consider a more elegant solution: The Rosle Jar Opener. The pickles will still taste just as good. Maybe even better since there won’t covered in glass from when the jar got smashed on the counter in frustration.

Nobody likes spam, but as for Spam, the food product, well let’s just say it’s more enjoyable. Maybe. But, regardless of how you use it the first step is to cut it up. (Or just grab the hunk and start chewing if you feel daring.) The MIU France Lunch Meat Slicer is a canned meat-sized slicing tool designed especially for creating consistently-sized slices from the popular meat-in-a-can treat product. While it may not rival sliced bread for the title of Greatest Thing, perhaps by association it will at least help a little bit with reputation of the edible type of Spam.

Product Description:
The canned meat slicer from MIU makes stacks of perfectly sliced meat for everything from sandwiches to sushi. Place the canned meat onto the base of the unit and close the handle firmly to slice the meat. The handle comes off for easy cleaning. Constructed of durable ABS and stainless steel; the MIU lunch meat slicer has ten stainless steel cutting wires. Dishwasher safe. Item #90111.

Meatloaf may be delicious, but that deliciousness comes at a price. While baking in the oven, meatloaf spends a good amount of time stewing in it’s own juices. While fat certainly adds flavor, it is not wanted in quantity. Like a burger on the grill dripping fat down away from the food, the Xtraordinary Home Products Nonstick Meatloaf Pan gives grease an escape–other than the bottom of the oven. And hey, if you miss all that flavor, you can always make gravy out of the drippings.

I have no problem if somebody wants to shell out $69 for a hot dog. (Even in New York, where hot dogs are plentiful.) Serendipity 3, the New York eatery, lets diners do just that. What I do take issue with however, is that the thing is clearly served with ketchup. Now that I just can’t take seriously.
