We're talkin' about the McRib, ya'll. That's right. We said "McRib." Say it loud, say it proud: we heart the McRib. Let us preface this post by saying that we rarely ever find ourselves at the MickeyD's, especially in a town that offers us so many quick, good fast food of the non-world-domination variety. However, being a sucker for processed-meat (sausage, hot dogs, spam...), we have a special place in our heart for the McRib....

Luckily, even with all the things we have to do, we still managed to get together to let you know what we've all been up to. After cooling down from a hot weekend of many badass Sunset Junction Street Fair photo dispatches, LAist asked...
Movies Houstonians Love: Richard Linklater presents Some Came Running
With the sun out, the temperatures high, one can only think of one thing-- what's going on in the World of the -ists? Bostonist dug deep to uncover Barack Obama's unpaid parking tickets, their Governor's latest ethical lapse, and a plagarizing sports writer. Chicagoist had everything in twos: two views on having the Olympics, losing two members of their Super Bowl team, and two music festivals. DCist put their noses in legal books as...
Austinist gets arty with an interactive guide to SXSW, loved some local art galleries and a new art exhibit and lamented the possible loss of "Friday Night Lights" production to New Mexico. Bostonist was happy they finally found an Anna Nicole Smith connection to their fair city and that an Apple Store was opening up. They were less happy that new rules have been established limiting underage shows and that their Governor is spending...
If you haven't already made lunch plans, why not go ahead and have that triple cheeseburger, large order of fries and milkshake? And why not wash it down with a giant dessert? A celebration is in order, you see: Houston has slipped to No. 6 in the Men's Fitness annual ranking of America's fattest cities. Looks like Mayor White's Jazzercise really paid off. In this year's MF rankings, Las Vegas takes the coveted title of...
Sonic, America’s Favorite Drive-In, goes Dine-In or Out in a first of it’s kind restaurant located in the parking garage at the University of Houston (located at Calhoun and University).

Even though we are way way past school age, we still get a little melancholy at the close of summer. Fortunately, our friends across the -ist network know that the shenanigans don't need to end just because the big yellow buses are back on the roads. So, grab your sunscreen and your favorite hangover cure, as we take a tour of end of summer fun from -ist cities all over the damn place. SFist Tourist...
Another star is born in Houston: this time, it’s a frozen food prep-er. Over the weekend, The Food Network taped an episode of “The Secret Life Of..." at A Freezable Feast, a local business that allows customers to prepare multiple meals, then package and freeze them to cook at a later date.
SFist commeters pose for before and aftershocks when the mayor commemorates a 1906 earthquake...at 4:30 in the morning.

Houstonist announces their new Cops spinoff "World's Funniest Taser Videos" and the possible cancellation of their pervs' "World's Grossest Bathroom Videos" and PBS trains cams on cows at, uhg, MooTube. Also,...
Houstonist's friends in Miami are always talking about how much they love Chicken Kitchen, a South Florida-based fast-casual restaurant that specializes in — yes, you guessed it — chicken. So we were excited to find out that Chicken Kitchen has expanded to Houston, thanks to a class project in the Rice MBA program. The first Houston CK opened earlier this month in the Rice Village, a strategic location close to students, shops and health-conscious Inner Loopers. Here's what you can expect:
After dropping to No. 5 on the “Fattest City” list in January, we thought that Houston had escaped all of the nagging around the world. Not so. Now Canada is taking a swipe at us: In the metro Houston region, more than 65% of the population is overweight [...] By comparison, a Statistics Canada survey released two years ago shows 48% of Canadians are overweight and 14.9% of us are classified obese. Canada's "Fat City"...
A car crash in northwest Harris County this morning sent a van flying through the front of a KFC restaurant. The excitement began just after 7 a.m. at Bammel North Houston Road and Highway 249 when a car collided with a van:
Houston has another statistic to be proud of. According to Men’s Fitness magazine, we have dropped to number five on their annual “Fattest Cities” list this year. Last year, we moved back into the top spot after being dethroned by Detroit for a year. Houstonist thinks it’s time to celebrate by chow-ing down on the best, greasiest cheeseburger in town.
