Tune in next time…

March 29, 2009

No update today as I was out gathering material for the site. Tune in next week for Pandora’s Lunchbox/Craves, Caves, and Graves co-blogging adventure to Hermann, MO for Wurstfest!

In the meantime, here’s a video of cows getting a carwash massage. Happy cows = better milk apparently.

Professor Flavor’s Cafeteria of Mysterious Edibles

March 22, 2009

By Rob Hoffmann

I received an email from my friend Professor Flavor the other day asking if I would be interested and willing to assist him with some experiments that he simply doesn’t have time to run himself. During his research, Professor Flavor comes across a lot of strange recipes and websites making outrageous claims, and it’s my job to verify if these things are true.

Free Stuff! – Smile. Biden-style.

March 18, 2009

Thankfully Bazooka Joe Biden is hocking chewing gum or this entry would have been boring.

I should have given him an eye patch... dang.

Anyway! Who wants some free stuff? I cannot guarantee that all of these offers are valid, but I do try to filter through them to find the ones that involve the least amount of hoop jumping to receive your goodies. In spite of that, a lot of these require registering or signing up for something, so I recommend setting up a second email address unless you want your inbox spammed. If you know of any free food or kitchen gadget finds, sound off in the comments or by sending me an email at pandoraslunchboxblog@gmail.com. Goodies await after the jump.

St. Louis Hot Dog Tour; Part 1

March 15, 2009

By Rob Hoffmann

The idea of doing a St. Louis Hot Dog Tour started out because I was complaining that you couldn’t get a good hot dog in St. Louis. Chicago has Portillo’s, Los Angeles has Pink’s, and New York has Nathan’s, but what do we in St. Louis have?

Apparently more than I thought. Read the rest of this entry ?

Hello!

March 13, 2009

By Rob Hoffmann

Welcome to the first of what will hopefully be many entries to Pandora’s Lunchbox! I’ve been sitting here trying to come up with what you can expect from this blog, but honestly, I’m not really sure myself. My goal is to highlight unique, novel, and bizarre foods, restaurants, and festivals while also trying to present the normal everyday foods we enjoy in a new (and hopefully entertaining) light. Basically, if its food and its interesting, its fair game.

So, enjoy yourselves! And if you have any suggestions, questions, comments, stories, concerns, tips, tricks, recipes, or anything food related you would like to share, you can write me at pandoraslunchboxblog@gmail.com. This kind of blog thrives off of reader suggestions, so fire away!

Expect the first real post to go up on Sunday, 3/15/09, detailing the first three stops in the St. Louis Hot Dog Tour 2009.
