Riff Raff, Fairy Bread, ISIS, and All the Other Edible News You Missed This Week

Did you miss our gut-busting feast with Riff Raff or our foray into the world of ISIS-approved recipes? Grab the leftovers here.

How do you go from svelte rapper to 240 pounds of pure muscle in a matter of months? Dozens of oysters, massive white chocolate mochas, and buttermilk ranch over ice certainly helps.

This week, we followed Riff Raff on his quest to turn extra-beefy by adding a serious workout regimen to his not-so-serious diet. Soon after we filmed, he announced that he's training with Hulk Hogan to become a WWE Wrestler.

We also checked in on ISIS and its attempt to turn women into happily cooking wives of mujahideen. If you ever wondered how the Islamic State makes pancakes and chicken fajitas, we've got the scoop right here.

On Monday, our friends Down Under celebrated Australia Day with one of the strangest desserts imaginable: Fairy Bread. All you need is some shitty white bread, butter, and hundreds and thousands. (Just don't call them "sprinkles.")

New York and its environs flipped the fuck out over the prospect of a Roland Emmerich-sized blizzard, but all it got was a fairly annoying dusting—and we called it early. Nyah nyah.

We also ate MREs in Colombia (and saw what else of the world's armies eat), talked seeds with a former electronics smuggler, gave Deadheads their culinary due, ate a crapload of delicious dumplings in Shanghai, and interrogated Jonathan Gold about … Jonathan Gold.

And to top it all off, we made the Super Bowl a helluva lot more interesting by reinterpreting game day snacks through the ages—plus recipes.

Enjoy the buffet.
