The Late Night Foodie: Milkshakes, Sexy Hamburgers and Beer

From the delicious to just plain weird,  Late Night Foodie brings us the round up of what’s going on in the world of food.

Food Dare

Just when you thought the bacon fad was over, the big wigs over at Jack in the Box decided to try their hand at bacon milkshakes. There have already been a few fast food chains that attempted (unsuccessfully) to perfect the recipe of liquefying the heavenly slices of pork and mixing it with milk and ice in the past, so why not try again. But in all honesty, why does this keep happening? If you’re interested in trying the newest attempt at the Bacon Shake, head on down to your participating Jack in the Box as they’re only serving these drinks up for a limited time.

VIP Dinners

Food Network lifer and all around nice guy Jamie Oliver will be heading to Sydney in early March to visit his restaurant, Jamie’s Italian. It’s not usually newsworthy when a celebrity chef makes his rounds to his own restaurant, but what caught our eye about this particular Jamie Oliver owned chain was the fact that they do not cater to reservations like other celebrity chef eateries. Oliver makes it easy for guys who are notoriously known for forgetting it's date night. Oliver will be visiting his restaurant in Sydney on March 4^th and 5^th.

Burger Radar

Kate Upton, aka the woman of your dreams, aka the 2011 Sports Illustrated rookie of the year, has been cast as the latest fast food bombshell for the latest Carl’s Jr. /Hardee’s commercial for the new Southwest Patty Melt that will air later this month. What a perfect time to reflect on all of the other women who have  chomped down on Hardee’s burgers in the past like Paris Hilton, Audrina Partridge, Padma Lakshmi and Kim Kardashian…. The new burger will be available at all Hardee’s restaurants on February 20 and at Carl’s Jr. restaurants starting February 22. Be sure to check out @KateUpton for BTS candid shots as well as her doing what she does best: being hot in a bikini. Thanks to The Smoking Jacket for the pic!

Suds ‘n Grub

We’ve heard of people standing in line for gadgets, but this is the first time we’ve ever heard of people waiting in the cold to get their hands on an alcoholic beverage. Foothills Brewery released their wildly popular seasonal stout beer, Sexual Chocolate, late last week to hundreds of diehard fans who waited for the bar to open in Winston-Salem. Celebrities also took to Twitter to find the closest place to secure their own pint of the cocoa, espresso and coffee infused stout. Community’s Joel McHale and Danny Pudi joked about jumping on a Vespa to drive the 788 miles to the pub in Salem. We're not sure if you will be able to find your own bottle of Sexual Chocolate, but if you see it around, grab one.
