Fontina has an Ohio heart and Philly spunk. She loves giving you recipes for hearty food, pop-culture puns and a hell of a lot of craft beer. You can find her in the kitchen, at the bar, on Twitter or marathoning episodes of Shin Chan or Bob's Burgers online.
I think everyone my age has a story about when they watched Jurassic Park. It came out in 1993. That means I was approximately nine years old when I watched it. My mom took me and my brother to the drive-in. (That makes me seem even older.) A nine-year-old watching a movie about giant dinosaurs…
When I started Bacon & Legs, I was more of a pun fan than a bacon fan. Sure, I loved it. Who doesn’t? ESPECIALLY recovering vegetarians. It was a remarkable treat. But the blog was more or less about fun comfort food with some wit. A few years later and bacon has woven itself into…
There’s this up-and-coming actor… he’s hardly done a thing. Totally untalented. He’s a little homely. He has no charm, what-so-ever. He has this terrible British accent. People have a really hard time rooting for him. You probably haven’t even heard his name. It’s Beneduck Cucumberpatch. Or… something like that. Regardless, I see something in him…
I am somewhere exactly in the middle of stereotypically girly and not girly. A lot like I’m somewhere in the middle of Leslie Knope and April Ludgate. While I can probably out-belch you and I will never complain about an action movie, I also love dresses and glitter and pink. I have a whole collection…
Get ready to Chang your point of view. Do you watch Community? I’m sure you do. Everyone I know watches it, yet it had shitty ratings. That tends to be how it is for a lot of my shows. The poorly written, cliche-filled laugh track comedies get to live on for years and years while…
I was contacted this month by the very sweet and funny Anthony from flavorfulworld.com. He asked if he could interview me as their featured blogger this month. I am obviously not going to say no to that! The questions were well thought out and insightful and I was really honored he knew so much about…
Ingredient-specific beers get me going. Especially when the brewers take such care in selecting their ingredients. When I tried Bison Beer’s Organic Honey Basil Ale, I knew I had to cook with it. I’ve been hammering out the recipe for a couple months, but I have it fine-tuned for you guys. Crispy salted flatbread with…
I am an unbalanced, quirky kind of girl. The more I learn about people, the less bad I feel about my eccentricities. I suffer from depression and many, many anxieties. I always kind of felt alone in this situation. But it turns out, a lot of you are just as fucked up as I am….
I have been trying to fatten up my friends and family since I was 2 years old. For the past few years, I have been trying to fatten up strangers with BaconandLegs.com. But I want to be better at fattening you all up. Please take a minute (seriously, a minute) and fill out this super…
This world has a long history of pig-and-cheese sandwiches. The most famous, I’m sure, is the croque monsieur: a French grilled ham and cheese topped with béchamel. England has their toasties. America has their monte cristos… which is basically a dumbed down croque monsieur that uses an egg mixture instead of béchamel. It’s all fucking…
