Better late than never, right?  With all the changes happening both to the site (redesign might be coming soon!) and to our lives (apparently you need money to do this stuff on a consistent basis without sponsors), things have been rather chaotic in the last few months.  Our posts have become more sparse and so when we ARE able to attend an event like this beer fest, we have to be choosy because money doesn’t grow in my backyard after … →

Giant Chicken Man preps for his new movie deal with Marvel   On March 30th, restaurants from all around the valley will gather to compete in this year’s annual Wingstock Festival.  We wrote all about last year’s event, and how much fun we had there. Games and attractions for the kids will be present (I think there’s a jumping castle.  I also think you might find one of us sleeping in there, drunkenly).  Live music will be played all day, … →

I have a confession to make.  It’s not an easy one and I’ve wrestled with it for the entirety of this website’s existence, but I feel like if I’m ever going to be able to move on with my life I just have to face it head-on.  Here goes:   I can only eat the super-hot wings if I douse them in enough ranch to fill up a kiddie-sized (or Danny DeVito-sized) swimming pool.   It’s an earth-shattering revelation for someone … →

We’re beer snobs…err…reviewers now, right?  And as beer house reviewers, if there’s a festival that has 61 breweries participating in an outdoor event on a warm and sunny December day in downtown Phoenix, well I suppose it’s just our awful and terrible duty to find a way to cover it, right?  Right.  Right as shit. The Phoenix Invitational Brewers Festival (PHX BrewFest) took place on December 7th and 8th in Heritage Square in Phoenix.  Organized by Greg Fretz of the … →

  We’re finally back from hiatus!  Oh, PS, we were on hiatus.  Did we forget to tell you?  Did you care?  You know you didn’t care. Anyway, it’s December, we’re two family-oriented jerks, so things get hectic.  But we’re back and ready to put up some new reviews.  This week we’ll be touching on the Phoenix Brewer’s Invitational, an event that happened in Heritage Square a couple of weekends ago, and then we’ll be turning back to a wing review … →

  The city of Phoenix (and its surrounding metro area) is a puzzling one to categorize.  Few cities can claim such a massive influx of transplants from all over the country and it adds to the experience of Phoenix as a whole, for both good and bad.  The benefit of such a transient population is that we’re a true melting pot of food, music, art and culture. The biggest downside is the dearth of loyalty anywhere in this city. In … →

The times, they are a-changin’!   We started WhyDidIEatThis.com to find good spots for wings, but now we see that eating hot wings every week just isn’t a sustainable lifestyle.  We’ve decided to start covering organic products and sustainable farms and we’re going to do our best to visit vegetarian and even vegan restaurants that support these ideals.  We want our food to come from healthy places where we can gather under trees and have picnics. We’ve started eating flax … →
