It's been awhile since I've blogged about ketchup - so I'm going to hit you with the 1 - 2 - 3 -4 punch. (Is there such a thing? I guess we're about to find out...)
1. My sister snapped the pic at left at a drive-thru in California. As she so eloquently put, "What kind of lame ass McDonald's pulls this shit?" Times must be tougher than I thought.
2. My friend Katie sent me this video from CNN's CGM news site iReport. It features some shocking footage from the 20th Annual Hamburger Festival in Seymour, WI. All I'm going to say is it involves ketchup. And a Slip n Slide. And it's not me in the video.
3. Speaking of drive-thrus, shout out to my friend Ian from Flagged For Follow Up. On my last post about ketchup issues at drive-thrus he commented about fights he's had with drive-thru people about the amount of ketchup they'll hand out. I thought he was giving me crap, until I confronted him about the perceived slight and discovered that he was a fellow ketchup commrade. Here we are at a Nat's game with beer cups fill of ketchup, only God and Teddy know what we did with them.
4. Thanks to reader Joe Ammond for emailing me this picture of some truly delightful couture. The piece was spotted in a mall in St. Charles, MO. Should you ever find yourself in St. Charles, the food court in the mall "serves the closest to a Detroit Coney dog I've found
outside of SE Michigan." Amen brother!
Great to see you get back to your roots ;)
Would you be upset if I started a more overarching condiment blog? Something like, "Where the Long Tail Meets Aisle 3"

You could do it if you linked to me every six months in the body of a post so I could keep my Technorati ranking up.

On my vacation I saw the " I put ketchup on my ketchup shirt" and went out of my way to snap a photo of it for you. Too bad I dropped the ball on e-mailing it to you. Glad someone beat me to it.
