Ten Predictions for 2013 That are Almost as Exciting as a Kardashian-West Baby

Pizza Hut

7. Pizza Hut stops dilly-dallying around about it and stuffs an entire pig into a pizza. "Pig-stuffed pan crust."

8. A pickling food trend? Really? Pickling was created to preserve food that's out of season and, mostly, as a matter of survival. Pickling has its place in the world, but not as an entire trend. The coup will be if there's a pickling food truck.

9. On that note, some predict food trucks will begin to fade this year. I hope not. They definitely serve a purpose in many situations. And, like anything else, if the truck is run well (that implies good food), then they'll be successful. I just pity the operators. Seems like an exhausting job.

10. Anthony Bourdain continues to be Anthony Bourdain. I'm way behind the curve here as I don't watch a lot of the tele, but he did a live chat on Gawker recently where he rapid-fired off-the-cuff responses and dodged no bullets, including this:

I'm averse to clean, well organized and functioning societies. Just the way I am. I tend towards hot, messy, dysfunctional ones that barely hold together -- with spicy food, palm trees, (and) passion.

I'm still laughing at the "jizz" comment on the Cracker Barrel story-kudos!  And genius on this post; sometimes I hit a MEH story, and it psychically ails me to hit a page 2 or 3!

Taco Bell is for the teen and the 20 something stoner; I don't care iff'n they put gold flakes in them taco's......go to Del Taco or Taco Bueno for cheap eats; then atleast you can pile on yer own sauce, pico, etc. Sauce in a packet in nasty!  It conveys a sense of industrialism and sterility.

@kergo1spaceship Taco Casa makes a burger with taco meat. It's awesome in a very, very sad kind of way.

Nothing wrong with "1 big pile of heart attack"-on occasion, something so dreadfully sinful, you have to act like you are someone else. We had this place back in the day, in Plano, called Islands, where you could get a whole plate of fries, replete with bacon, shredded cheese, ranch and nacho cheese-it was deadly, and I am STILL in a coma to this day, because of them!

Kanye and Kim are having a baby?


That baby will have a big head to match its big ass.

Kim Chee deserves its 15 minutes of fame. Bourdain used to be cutting edge; he's grown tiresome.  True, baby piggies are adorable.  I hope Pizza Hut goes bankrupt.  And, the Kartrashians are a pop culture phenomenon I'll never understand.

Some New Year's thoughts from Myrna.

Pizza Hut going bankrupt is more of a delision than a thought. Sorry.

Farm to table just irked, everything we eat is pretty much farm to table.  It was just a nice way to jack up the cost of food to patrons

@ScottsMerkin I'd be happier if it was farm to kitchen to table. Raw, unprepared food I can buy at Tom Thumb.
