People have been writing in telling us how much they’ve enjoyed the Spread Head videos… so I wanted to share some pics of upcoming Spread Heads! Stay tuned to NonToxicReviews.com for reviews on these items when they come out, and in the mean time head on over to The Spread Heads for news and online ordering.
This Cow Head comes with a corn cob plug that’ll keep milk fresh, so you can leave it on your milk jug.
These four different Toothpaste Heads have a built in cap so you can leave it on the toothpaste tube.
In this video, MillionairePlayboy.com‘s Lando da Pimp and I hung out last weekend and cooked up some Cuban Style Burgers. Check out our video. Our friends at HollywoodHeroes.com sent us some Japanese BBQ kits to try out, so, we did. Then TheSpreadHeads.com sent us Mustard Marvin, and Ketchup Charlie. These are perfect for sprucing up any BBQ you’re having, so we included them in the video too.
If you’re ever near Harper’s Ferry, you’ve probably at least heard of Cindy Dee’s and their infamous milkshakes. They’re super thick, super awesome, so we had to let the kid try it out. He’s pretty good with a straw, but I don’t think he actually gets any shake until the 1 minute mark.
Simple concept, screw this plastic head onto the mouth of a mustard bottle, and it looks like he’s puking. Nice and easy. For some reason, my wife does not find this amusing. There is also a face that has ketchup coming out of its nose.
I want a relish brains head next!
Check out TheSpreadHeads.com for ordering info. I found this in the grocery store.
My wife was slightly horrified at this video, so she made an instructional on how to Make Baby Food at Home (for real) to be a counter-point to this video. Om Nom Nom bib now available! This is a classic from 08 that I resurrected for April Fool’s Day
Mr. Stinkhead wraps up his 2009 Toy Fair coverage with all the cool stuff we saw, including Playmobil, Play Visions, cool games like Monopoly City, and Uncle Milton’s Force Trainer that you control with your mind! There is some immature humor in this video that would certainly not go over well on your typical mommy blog. Be advised

As I mentioned earlier, when you’re alone with the kid, you can’t always run out and grab Buffalo wings for dinner. You need someone who will deliver. I wanted to determine who had the best wings and delivers… the only way to find out was to do a side by side blind taste test. We ordered wings from Pizza Hut (Wing Street), Papa John’s, Dominos, and a local place called Armands’. I invited a handful of friends over and ordered Hot and Medium wings from each place. We placed each delivery on a plate with a table tent. See below to read our findings, and you’ll be as surprised as we were.
When you have a baby and the two of you are on your own, your dinner options are limited to begin with –and every now and then you need buffalo wings. It doesn’t help that my wife isn’t a big wing fanatic to begin with, so most of the opportunities to have wings are when I am flying solo. (That was a terrible wing pun) As you know, it’s tough packing the little one in the car to go get food, and then come right back home (much less feeding and tending to a baby when you’re up to your elbows in that sweet, sweet BBQ sauce).
Two of my favorite wing places are Wing Stop and B-dubs, and they don’t deliver. (and don’t get me started about how the DC area is in sore need of their own B-Dubs)
So I started exploring these places that deliver wings. I know what you’re thinking, but there is good news and bad news.
I’ve had some success and some failure, but now I’m on a real mission. Here’s what I’m going to do: I’m going to invite some guys over and order wings from a few places and get a consensus to see who delivers the best. Some may be local, so I’d love to hear from you, which are the best in your neck of the woods (and who to avoid)
This isn’t part of my official trials but here are two findings so far: Armands Chicago Style Pizzeria (with locations in DC-MD-VA and one in DE) has great deep-dish style pizza, but their wings are the best I’ve had delivered so far. The trick is that they arrive hot. Really hot. The first time I ordered their wings, I had to wait a minute or two to dig in. This is not the experience with other places. The wings are also huge… they don’t skimp ya. I’ve ordered their wings a few times now, and other guests of mine have said they were top notch as well.
Wing Street (a division of Pizza Hut) was not too good. To be fair, I ordered their boneless wings, and they were pretty crummy, I should try traditional style wings from each place to see, but these were just like chicken nuggets from McDonalds. On top of that they didn’t include any ranch or bleu cheese or anything. That’s a crime. The ordering process was difficult too… the minimum order for delivery is $10, but 10 wings is $8. (20 wings is $15, but too many wings for one guy) so I ordered some bread sticks. Those were also sub-par.
This is my second lousy experience with Wing Street… the first was when I originally tried to order from them, but because there was a Pizza Hut in closer vicinity to my house, they would not deliver to me. However that Pizza Hut didn’t have the Wing Street menu… so that’s when I went to Armands…
So anyway, let’s be scientific… I’ll order Medium and Hot wings from several locations (I might have to throw in a carry-out from Wing Stop just for control group purposes) but I’ll stick to traditional style bone wings, to be fair.
Then I’ll report on the findings.
But please chime in with your own experiences and local favorites… help another dad out there who’s looking to fulfill a wing fix when his arms are full.
