Buns of the Day: Capri Anderson

Buns of the Day- Capri AndersonStopthehype.com- Capri Anderson, identified as the petrified porn star found cowering inside Charlie Sheen’s suite at The Plaza during his drug-induced meltdown wants the bad boy star to pay up in court for destroying her new designer handbag and unpaid escort fee.

Anderson intends to file a lawsuit against Sheen, claiming she felt her life was in danger during the alleged cocaine induced rampage, TMZ reported on Saturday.

After a night of heavy drinking and cocaine, Sheen allegedly went on a rampage Tuesday looking for his wallet and cell phone inside the posh hotel suite.

Anderson, 22, cowered in the suite’s bathroom as the naked actor reportedly ranted incoherently while destroying hotel furniture.

Across America DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA: Good Stuff Eatery

goodstuffH-7b4c37e7-8683-4255-8185-81ada3c1998dWashingtonpost.com- How long is too long to stand in line for a burger and fries? Would you wait 20 minutes outside in 90-degree heat? Then 27 minutes more once the crowd-controlling doorman lets you in? What if “Top Chef” contestant Spike Mendelsohn was jamming behind the counter? Then would it be worth it?

Across America DELAWARE: Jake’s Burger

Jake's Wayback Burgers

Franchsiegator.com-The little burger shop called Jake’s is now 21 locations strong and poised to undergo a massive East Coast expansion, along with a major rebranding.

Like its rival — Five Guys Burgers and Fries — and fellow Delaware-born Capriotti’s subs, Jake’s Hamburgers is aiming to transform its humble beginnings into a national name, purely on the strength of a simple idea and uncompromising standards.

“I built the entire business on the concept that if you do something exceptionally well, you can carve out a niche for yourself and expand,” said Carter, 50, who has partnered with two franchising veterans to help propagate his vision from the chain’s headquarters, relocated in July 2009 from Delaware to Connecticut.

Across America CONNECTICUT: Shady Glen

Shady Glen Burger 2

Courant.com-July 21, 2010|By MARYELLEN FILLO, The Hartford Courant

It may not be earth-shattering news but for the past several weeks the controversy east of the river is that Shady Glen has changed the cheese on its iconic fried cheeseburger.

For those of you familiar with this landmark restaurant in Manchester, the award-winning cheeseburger, with its three-corner “hat ” of cheese, is practically celebrity, and to dare change it, well, it is safe to say it has practically become front page news. Some are even threatening to boycott the Manchester dining gem until something is done about that cheese.

As a fan of the place (both locations), I can understand from a dining point of view, you don’t mess with decades of success. Not without some backlash anyway.


Is it the weekend yet?

HELP!

HELP!

Burger Bowl Week 9: The Hooneymoon is Over

hot-USC-cheerleaderspcc3

BurgerBets is back!  OK so I took a 3 week hiatus.  OK so I am not doing so hot this year.  That just means I am due.  Plus the only reason I was stinking up the joint is because I was too excited for the Burger Boy’s wedding.  Just to update those of you that missed it, the Burger Boy is married and LobstersClaw not only attended, but he didn’t piss or shit himself this time.  I was told that he received a legitimately gracious “Thank You” from Mrs. Burger Boy after the wedding.  I am not lying about any of this.  So just remember, whether you are in the betting slump from hell or are just sitting at work on a Monday with weekend anxiety, at least you aren’t getting congratulated left and right for not shitting yourself at a formal event.   Because that is truly the bottom. 

NCAA Picks:

MICHIGAN STATE (-25) vs. Minnesota.  Michigan State got their asses kicked last week plain and simple.  Maybe they were a little overrated going into that game, but they are a very good team regardless.  They are going to be looking for payback this week at home against the itty bitty wittle feeble golden gophers from minnesota.   Notice I didn’t capitalize anything in their name.  That is because they suck.  It’s going to be a Sparty Party in East Lansing on Saturday!  BLOW OUT CITY BABY!

ALABAMA (-6.5) vs LSU.  Love this game a 6.5, not so much if it goes to 7 and beyond.  I am nearly certain that Bama controls the game and wins steadily, but I could see them winning by 7 at the worst.  Buy the half point if it goes to 7 (if you’re a puss) and cash in. 

USC (-5.5) vs. Arizona State.  What a disastrous season for the Trojans, huh?  I have bet against them all year, but eventually, you get to a nut up.  Gut check time for USC, and ASU in Troy is a pretty good place to start.

NFL Picks:

ATLANTA (-8.5) vs Tampa Bay.  BurgerBets is alllll over this one.  I actually am a Tampa Bay believer.  I think they are on their way to being a good team and I love Freeman and Mike Williams.  But this is a CLASSIC reality check game.  Atlanta is coming off the bye with Michael Turner at full strength against TB’s porous run defense.  Meanwhile, the Bucs have been sneaking by teams left and right.  Atlanta is going to roll in this game guaranteed.  Iron Fist.  34-13 Falcons. 

SEATTLE (+7) vs NY Giants.   Is there a more Jekyl and Hyde team in the history of sports than Seattle when it comes to the playing at home versus playing on the road?  They can beat anyone at home, or at least make it a tight game.  And they get their butts kicked on the road by the Little Sisters of the Poor.  Well, lucky for us, this game is in Seattle and it’s a big one.  I think Giants will probably win, but it’s going to be a close one. 

PHILADELPHIA (-3) vs Indianapolis.  At first glance, this line stinks like a Vegas special.  All the money on this game will be on the Colts, that is for sure.  You know what that means… bet the Birds.  Why are the Eagles favored?  Is Vegas dumb?  Probably not.  They are favored because Andy Reid is 11-0 after the bye week in his career.  There is something to be said for that.  He is a fat turd that cannot make an in game adjustment to save his life.  But give him 2 weeks of preparation time and he can scheme an entire game plan.  Plus he probably LOVES burgers. 

As always, bet with me and your burgers are FREE!!!!!

(303) 779-0093

Burgerbytes.com- As for burgers, they offer the 1/3 lb. Larkburger and the Truffle Burger, as well as non-burger “burgers” made of tuna, turkey, or mushrooms. Anytime I see menu items adorned with truffles, I am reminded of some bad Iron Chef America episode where some wanna-be chef shaves a pound of truffles over his dish to make it “exotic”. We went with the Larkburgers cooked medium and and an order of their hand-cut russet potato french fries. I added a slice of Tillamook sharp cheddar cheese (my favorite!), but was a little surprised that bacon wasn’t even an option. Wuuut? Mayo and mustard are non-options as well. All Larkburgers are served with their homemade sauce, which is a blend of mayonnaise, honey mustard and seasonings.

Burger Bowl Week 5: LC Sucks

Burger Bet's wears the same size...NOT!!!

Burger Bet's wears the same size...NOT!!!

Ahhhhhhhhhh!  I feel like LobstersClaw right now.  I am stinking up the joint.  OK, head on straight BurgerBets, you got this.  You are not LobstersClaw.  You are not LobstersClaw.  You are not LobstersClaw.  You have never #2ed yourself!  You are not LobstersClaw.  You are not LobstersClaw.  You are not LobstersClaw.  You do not #1 yourself on the reg!  Whew, that’s better.  OK I am ready to win again.  Need to reel off a couple of straight winning weeks to get my followers back in the black.  That’s no big deal.  As always, HOME team in CAPS.

NCAA Picks:

Arkansas (-5) vs. Texas A&M. HOGSSSSSSS!  HOGSSSSSSS!  HOGSSSSSSSSS!  This game is at Cowboys Stadium (s#^&hole) so it is neutral.  Ryan Mallett lit up that dump last year and torched A&M.  I like A&M but they just don’t have enough to stave off the relentless Hogs passing attack.  I LOVE the Hogs like they’re my own.  HOGS!

MICHIGAN (-4.5) vs. Michigan State. I am very excited to watch this game.  I think these two squad are very evenly matched.  Both are undefeated.  But the Spartans don’t have anyone named Shoelaces on their team.  And the game is in the Big House.  28-20 Wolverines.

STANFORD (-10) vs. USC. I am still pretty upset that my Cardinal got beat last week.  I mean, I think I had already started to spend my winnings at the bar when it was 21-3 Cardinal and then Oregon just exploded.  Stanford will not let that happen again and to be honest USC just hasn’t impressed me at all this year.  I am starting to think that Lane Kiffin is the coaching version of LobstersClaw.  We will see.  Go Cardinal.

NFL Picks:

DETROIT (-3) vs St. Louis. I have bet on St. Louis nearly every game this year and they have been cover city at home.  But so has Detroit and they really deserve another win or two.  It is the most deceiving 0-4 I have seen in a while.  I think Lions win this game easily.  I love, love, love the Lions.  Big games for Megatron and Jahvid Best.  Sam Bradford, you’re good, but rookies don’t win on the road in the NFL.

Kansas City (+7.5) @ INDIANAPOLIS. Is anyone else sick of betting on the Colts to cover 6 to 9 point spreads and then never having them do so?  BurgerBets is.  Screw the Colts.  Screw Peyton Manning.  I am taking my Chiefs.  The Colts cannot stop the run, and the Chiefs are absolutely loaded at RB.  Get ready for a megadose of Jamaal Charles, Thomas Jones and my boy Dexter McCluster.

New Orleans (-7) @ ARIZONA. See last week.  The Cardinals stink.  They’re putrid.  Oh, and now they’re starting a rookie QB against a defense that prides itself on intercepting the football.  There are two options in this game.  Either Ken Whisenhunt keeps the playbook super simple and the Cardinals lose 24-13, or he lets Max Hall loose and the Cardinals lose 38-10.  Cover city either way.

As always, bet with me and your burgers are FREE!!!!!
