Long John Silver's is giving away 1 free Baja Fish Taco tomorrow from open to 2:30pm. I'm a huge fish taco fan, but not too sure about this one...if anyone tries it (and you live to tell about it) let us know!

Still think something smells a little fishy.

Nat Geo Magazine Wants Your Corn Dogs!

Posted by Burgers For Brunch | Posted in ,


National Geographic magazine is calling their readers to submit pictures of the famous state fair food the Corn Dog. This cousin of the much more popular hot dog, is a hot dog coated in cornbread batter and deep fried in hot oils. It's a favorite among the B4B crew.

This unique concoction of meat on a stick can be referenced at times by any of the following names:corn dog, pogo, dagwood dog, pluto pup or corny dog.

There is some debate as to the exact origins of the corn dog. According to Wikipedia, "A number of current corn dog vendors lay claim that credit for the invention and/or popularization of the corn dog goes towards Carl and Neil Fletcher for when they introduced their "Corny Dogs" at the Texas State Fair sometime between 1938 and 1942. The Pronto Pup vendors at the Minnesota State Fair claim to have invented the corn dog in 1941. Cozy Dog Drive-in, in Springfield, IL, claims to have been the first to serve corn dogs on sticks, in 1946. Also in 1946, Dave Barham opened the first location of Hot Dog on a Stick at Muscle Beach, Califorina.

If you're as much of a fan of the corn dog as we are, mark your calendars the first Saturday of March as National Corn Dog Day. This day is not only a celebration for corn dogs, but an overall holiday for basketball, beer and tator tots.

Should you have an interesting picture of your favorite corn dog click here for more information on how to submit your photo to Nat Geo.

Looks like we're not the only ones that love corn dogs...apparently someone in Orange County likes to take a bite.

Pizza Hut slices the Pizza off

Posted by Burgers For Brunch | Posted in ,

Last week Yum Brands announced a new direction on their image and marketing future. Probably triggered by the existing economic downturn the company part of the Pepsico group has decided to upgrade their services from simple delivery huts now into now full meal huts.

This Goliath, that contributed to develop and shape the fast food industry during the last 5 decades will be reinvented to "The Hut."


It will be interesting to see how this company will perform when leaving its existing comfort zone (the company launched its first IPO as PIZ) and adventuring into new blue oceans.

Hopefully this risky change (it is important to remember that Pizza Hut is a global iconic brand) can help to boost sales, relaunch its image and keep America's growing FF business flourishing.

Let's see if Jessica minds dropping the pizza...

Say Cheese!

The Big Cheese! It is very difficult to locate a good pizza parlor with a college town feel in Miami but look no further.



Serving great pizza and garlic rolls since 1984, The Big Cheese is a great place for a quick bite or a long meal. The staff is friendly (most have been working there for years) and the prices are great. You can order an entire pie or order by the slice. The walls are covered in University of Miami memorabilia (they are official sponsors of UM sports) and you can often see famous athletes eating alongside students and families.


Look out for their most famous patron who can often be seen eating here.
