Beat The Heat Contest At Hypnotic
by Steven Doyle
You must give the folks at Hypnotic some props. They know how to promote their product well and they make a mean donut. Today we are sent word that they are hosting a donut eating contest, but with a kick.
To win this contest you need to eat the most donuts in 10 minutes, but there is a catch. As each donut is presented to the contestant it gets spicier and spicier – to the point of extreme.

A Spoon Foreshadowing Dinner
by Steven Doyle
Chef John Tesar has had a busy summer vacation. While off on a project that is being treated like Harry Potter’s nemesis, something that which cannot be spoken, he has also sprinkled in a few wonderful underground dinners.
The term underground dinner has been bandied about so much that it has lost its charm, but whatever you wish to call these intimate dinners Tesar’s was a grand slam and reminiscent of Tesar from around the way.
