Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
I just received this glamour shot from my meat-and-fire-loving alter ego Joey Deckle. He had the privilege of cooking with Big Island Bar-B-Que at the Best of the Best cookoff a couple of weeks ago in Douglas, Ga. He's only just now emerging from a fat-and-protein-induced hibernation.
But back to that decadent cake. What exactly does it have to do with barbeque? Glad y'all asked. They say there's no hospitality like Southern hospitality. This luscious wedge was served at the hospitality suite that the contest's organizers kindly provided. It had been baked that morning and was still warm.
I'm told that the caramel layers had an intense toffee flavor and oozed into the delicate cake with each forkfull, instantly creating cavities, but in a good way. The killer cake also proved to be a top-notch hangover tonic. As for the cookoff results, let's just say that Robbie Richter and the boys from New York City brought some skills and made some jaws drop.

For what I consider to be the cream of the crop in Glam Shots, check out Creampuffs in Venice. I think she really sets a high bar for glam shots, as does Bron Marshall.
See, and be humbled, 10 Layer Caramel Cake.
