Bottomless Grub: BBQ & Fette Sau

(I Googled, "Hipster BBQ" and got this. )

($26.00 total)

In the midst of pretentious breakfast spots and coffee shops in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, a BBQ joint emerges from the ordinary.

Fette Sau, located on Metropolitan, has the hipster charm in its decor. You must walk through the outdoor picnic table seating and join the line to the "lunch counter." You order your meats by the pound, and they're piled onto a cafeteria tray lined with parchment.

Show up past 8:00p on a weekend and you'll wait for 30 minutes. You can admire the purposely dingy decor with hints of an old meatpacking warehouse. You can also order a mason jar of beer or a whiskey or bourbon with a nice, fat ice cube for the people like me who aren't 45 yet and need it watered down. This makes the wait go by faster, of course.

Anyway, the choices vary daily but the staples are the pork shoulder, brisket, pork belly, St. Louis-style ribs, Berkshire sausage and pastrami. I've been three times now and have been told that the cuts vary due to their meat purveyor. This kind of sucks as the pork belly has been noticeably different each time.

Bottomless DVR: Bacon! Pleasecanihavebacon

How many people watched J&K+8 tonight? Is it possible that more than 16,000,000 watched---which was the average Idol household audience?

It's not everyday you get to see the home video that will result in eight children wanting to rebel against their parents in their teenage years.

I think the winner here has to be Jon. He's got the earrings, the Ed Hardy, the Bluetooth head set...he's ready to drink some Jager and lure ladies to his west side apartment.

How Many Did You Own?

As a twentysomething, this is right up my alley: '80s and '90s toys!

I was the first child in my family and was 'spoiled' as the oldest child usually is. So sadly, I owned a lot of this junk and was the reason some poor Taiwanese factory worker has fibers of plastic embedded in their lungs.

I owned:

• The TMNT Pizza Launcher
• Bop It
• Creepy Crawlers
• Hot Wheels Track With Loops
• Crossfire
• Battleship (and its different iterations)
• Gak
• Connect Four
• Another Hot Wheels Track
• Hungry Hungry Hippos
• Kinex
• Lite Brite
• A Magic Works set
• The male Polly Pocket thing that I forget the name of
• Mouse Trap
• Nerf Hoop (c'mon who didn't have one?)
• TMNT van
• Nerf football
• Pogs
• Megazord (and prompted flipped out when I got it)
• Shark Attack
• Simon (and a travel Simon)
• Water Game
• Super Soaker 200
• Teddy Rupxin (my parents said it was $300 at the time; again, I was spoiled)
• TMNT figures
• Transformers
• Trolls
• Yak Bak
• Yomega Yo-Yos
