Following Amber's impassioned defense of Guy Fieri, it seems like there might be some dissension in the ranks of the Daily Fork staff. It's not like the host of "Triple D" isn't an easy target, and although I've directed my fair share of pot shots his way, I'll be the first to admit that many of them were simply because he makes it so incredibly easy. When your entire persona is built around being so xtreme you don't even need an "E," you're setting yourself up for being mocked. Regardless of whether it's authentic, the ridiculous poses, outdated catch phrases (sorry, calling something "money" was acceptable for about a 2-week window back in 1996) and obnoxious food descriptions make him a hard guy to like.

Fear not fierious readers, a response post will be forthcoming. However, in the interim, those of you who enjoy the over the top caricature that is Guy Fieri can bask in this beautiful desktop background.

​I've got nothing against vegetarians (well, most of them anyway), but on an episode of the most recent season of Top Chef, Natalie Portman guest-judged and went out of her way to talk about how she was a big foodie, loved food and was an adventurous eater. There was, of course, one catch: she's a vegetarian. That episode inspired me to write this, which I tried turning into a list, but it only would have turned out something like this:

Top One Reasons Why Vegetarians Aren't "Foodies"

1. Because they're vegetarians

French toast and omelets are for suckers. Who needs actual food when you've got the words of W. C. Fields as inspiration? Clearly this sign knows what's best for you...

​In the haze that was our drunken weekend, there may have been discussions on the merits of chicken nuggets. This, of course, turned to delusions of grandeur in which we envisioned how a chicken nugget (preferably from McDonald's) would possibly translate into the perfect pizza topping. While we never fulfilled our chicken nugget pizza fantasy, we were slightly surprised to find an array of chicken nugget pizza experiments peppered throughout the web. Here's our favorite: Chicken Nugget Macizza Recipe. You're welcome.

In the wake of a recent chicken wing theft in Columbus, Ga., where a pizza delivery man was held up at gunpoint, we were curious to know if this was the only known incident. Much to our chagrin, we found this YouTube clip that proves chicken wing theft is turning into a larger problem than once suspected.

For ages, man has struggled with the question, "What's in a Hot Pocket?" Anyone who's enjoyed one of these microwavable calzone-like snacks already knows they're nowhere near natural. And, although you could always look to the nutrition label for a few clues as to what chemical substances you're about to ingest, this artistic rendition makes the myriad of ingredients considerably more palatable.

​Today has been deemed National Margarita Day by, well, someone... So, to celebrate this possibly cold, blustery day (depending on your location of course), grab a blender, some tequila and a few other ingredients and shiver outside on the patio in honor of the occasion.

Since most of the country is a bit chilly today, we're providing you with a recipe for a margarita that will actually heat things up. Cheers! Recipe after the jump.

The "be patient" part seems like good advice, but after that things get a little bit muddled. After all, wasn't it Rome that didn't "got build" in a day?

​Are you tired of those pesky jackets and coats getting in the way of your beer drinking festivities? Too lazy to change from couch potato garb to going out clothes? Worry no more. The Snuggie pub crawl has made its way into American culture and shows no signs of backing down. Here are just a few spots to find out where you can don this sleeved blanket and get your drink on.

I'm not sure how we missed this when it originally aired, but thanks again to the magic of YouTube, everyone can benefit from culinary Myth Smashing with Alton Brown. Want to know whether searing a piece of meat prior to putting it in the oven actually seals in the juices? Of course, you do. And, even if you don't, who wouldn't want to find our whether non-stick pans have the ability to kill birds?
