In Standing Room Only, the author visits Chicago's best seatless eateries. Have at it, Nick. Calumet Fisheries 3259 E 95th St, Chicago IL 60617 (map); 773-933-9855 The Short Order: Intoxicating smoked shrimp and freshly fried seafood. Want Fries with That? They're available, but opt for more fried shimp. Want Ketchup? Go for the mild and hot sauces. I must have taken the wrong exit, because after a few odd turns off the I-90, I found myself in industrial Northern Indiana, the landscape spiked by massive smokestacks and decaying metal bridges. I figured I was somewhere between Hammond and Gary, not exactly two places I visit often. I was on the lookout for a simple seafood shack, and all I had...

"A single bite of the homemade KFC is enough. It's like biting into a dew-fresh ripe peach after eating a canned one. It's obviously the same thing but an order of magnitude better." Earlier in the week, the news splashed that a Long Island, New York, man claimed he had reverse-engineered the KFC's 11 herbs and spices. The secret recipe that Ron Douglas unlocked depends heavily on Accent, a commercial MSG-based flavoring. Everyone blogged about the discovery, but did anyone try it? At least one blog we read did. In England, Tim Hayward (above) of the Guardian's Word of Mouth went for it. But he went one better, asking Word of Mouth readers to help him come up with a...

A couple weeks ago, we alerted you about Paula Deen's deep-fried mac and cheese bacon bites. How could you one-up that big chunk of crispy awesomeness? Brad and Lily have figured it out. But since they were created through an insta-movie program, the conversation is all in robotic computer voice. Lily's "YES YES YES," in reaction to the buffalo sauce and Ranch suggestion, sounds more like a math teacher lecturing on cosine. She even throws her hands in the air like only a computerized, unfeeling woman can. Watch the video, after the jump....

If you didn't get enough gefilte fish over Passover, which ends today, here's a new one: deep-fried gefilte fish. Following the golden rule of everything's more palatable deep-fried, the fish patty moves from a jar of jiggly broth to a vat of bubbling fat juices. Phyllis of me hungry! was inspired after her husband took a whiff of the stuff plain: He’s never been a fan of processed food, and he likes his food served warm. So he offered up a novel suggestion, 'Could you maybe deep fry it for me?' Funny that he should ask—I just finished reading an article about deep fried gefilte fish, which is apparently quite popular in the UK. Deep frying makes everything delicious but...

Mac and cheese wrapped in bacon, breaded, and then deep-fried makes perfect sense if you first stop and ask yourself, "What would Paula Deen do?" And she has done it. The video evidence, after the jump....

Only a (withering) review on Taquitos.net convinces me that this wasn't some Twilight Zone snack encounter. Has anyone else tried, or liked, these?

Is your Thanksgiving menu low on hardcore, gut-busting, gluttonous dishes? Let Paula Deen be your guide! While searching the recipes on her website, we came across some eye-opening gems. You know, dishes that are probably delicious but we're hesitant to make because they might immediately block major arteries upon contact with our lips. Here are some of our favorites that reinforce our love for Paula: Deep-Fried Stuffing on a Stick: Because everything is better deep-fried on a stick. Deep-Fried Cranberry Sauce Fritters: You know, this sounds like it could be good. Semi-molten cranberry sauce in a crispy crust, anyone? Mrs. Hoggle’s Stuffed Cranberry Sauce: Mayonnaise, cranberry sauce, cream cheese, and pecans. Beware. Roasted Turkey with Fried Pecan-Bourbon Glaze: This is...

Only five more days of the Texas State Fair (it ends October 19), which means only five more days of Jelly Bellys rolled in funnel cake batter, then deep-fried. The menu also includes: fried grilled cheese, fried s'mores, fried Pop Rocks, a fried dinner roll, and fried cantaloupe pie....

When I first saw the above photo taken by Charlie Fu of Clayfood, I thought they were some variety of donuts. They're definitely fried, but far from a sweet bread: those plump ring-shaped monsters are the "World Famous Beer Battered Onion Rings" from Stone Brewery in Escondido, CA. At least, I think there's some onion in there. Charlie said, "These were really thin onions that were so oily I felt the pimples growing on my face as I cut into it. I don't think the four of us had more than 1 each." Thumbs down for the onion ring of doom. [via TasteSpotting]...

Yes, you read correctly. More than 300 people paid $5 for all-you-can-eat goat, lamb and bull testicles Saturday at the ninth annual Testicle Festival at Mama's Place Bar and Grill in Elderon in central Wisconsin. They fried up about 100 pounds of testicles, so that works out to roughly 1/3 pound of testicles per person or the equivalent of one not-so-small hamburger....
