"dude food" news and stories

We don't know. We're asking. At least our sibling site Asylum.com is.

Intrepid food bloggers and writers, here's your chance to help them out by nominating the restaurant you think is the manliest, most dude-friendly, or just an excellent joint to which you'd take a visiting Viking or poet-lumberjack if he were visiting from out of town.

Asylum.com needs your expertise. They're not just looking for steakhouses that serve 3-pound T-bones, but also those joints guys love -- like JUJU Cereal Bar in LA and Texas Wieners in Philadelphia, where they'll drop feta on your tube steak, just for the asking.

If they use your nomination, they'll bestow greatness upon your blog from the hallowed pages of Asylum.com. Readers will be voting on your nominations, and much like Miss America, there will be one winner, but many awards along the way.

E-mail your blog and nomination to johndevore@asylum.com.

Slashfood thanks you, and Asylum thanks you.

Dude Food: Recipes for the Modern Guy is by the same people who brought us Patio Daddy-o earlier this week. The short book is only 96 pages long, but, like its approach to food, gives you maximum results for minimum effort. It provides recipes and tips for most cooking occasions, to prepare the owner of the book for everything BBQs to intimate dinners, though it is directed at single guys. It is not, however, directed at single guys who don't want to exert any more effort than it takes to open a jar of peanut butter. The recipes in this book will allow the chef to eat well - without getting to a Martha Stewart level of fussiness - and even impress anyone who is lucky enough to show up for dinner.

Like their previous books, the dishes have great names, such as "Electric Love Lounge Chocolate Chip Cookies" and "Lord of the Fries." You can check out a sneak peek of the recipe for "Love Me Tenderloin" on the Amazon page for the book, but I would buy the book for the name of those cookies alone.
