Ready to Drool? Koreanized Burgers at bopNgrill

via Glut with Guts

Commence drooling now. The kimchi fries were a perfectly indulgent snack. Even with the large and hearty portions, I still wanted more! Read more about the kimchi fries and deliciously reinvented burgers at the Chicagoist.

Braille Burgers

Ok, while I might not be the biggest fan of fast food, or chain restaurants, this marketing campaign wow-ed me. Wimpy Burgers, a South African chain, offers a braille menu at every one of their locations. To promote this unique feature, they baked sesame buns with braille messages for their test audience to try.

If anything, watch for the happy expressions of the readers :D

Two Weeks Later...

Who out there is still sticking to their resolutions? Since I didn't exactly make year-long resolutions, I'd say I'm doing pretty well.
