"mister cutlets" news and stories

I hate to be known as the food blogger who cried weird, but this has got to be one of the stranger ethnic junk foods I've come across. You read that headline right folks. Just look at that packaging, a porcine Gene Kelly hoofing away in top hat and tails accompanied by his own musical score. Sarah, my fellow blogger and West Coast connection to all things Korean, tells me those yellow characters translate to dae bah, or pork bar. For some reason, I'm more comfortable referring to this frozen treat as crunch ice.

There are two types of people when it comes to Crunch Ice, those who are disappointed to learn that it's not a frozen treat composed of cracklin, lardo and boudin noir and those who are relieved. I fall into the latter category, I enjoyed Crunch Ice for what is, a vanilla ice cream pop encased in chocolate crunchies with a strawberry center. I'm pretty sure my dear friend Mr. Cutlets was disappointed to learn that Crunch Ice was not a pork-based frozen confection when I gave him a package for his 40th birthday last week. Ah well, pearls before swine; maybe swine before pearls is more apt in this instance.

You might recognize his name, Josh Ozersky, as one of our feature writers here at Slashfood who focuses on all things meaty. Or perhaps you know him by his superhero name, Mr. Cutlets. Or maybe you have no idea who the heck he is.

Well, that can change, because New York City food blog A Hamburger Today has done an in-depth interview with Josh, a second in their new series, Grilled. Josh talks all things burg-errific, reveals that he eats burgers four to five times a week, shares his burger favorites around the city, and who knew he was the new online food editor at New York magazine?
