The NYT has a positively porntastic article about ... Slovenian food!
[V]isitors take away vivid memories of its food: Karst prsut (pronounced per-SHOOT), prosciutto that is air dried for 14 days in the sharp burja winds; chewy wheat bread smothered with fresh horseradish or zaseka (a spread of cold smoked ground bacon and lard); risotto with just-picked asparagus and nettles; homemade gnocchi with fried pancetta; fish caught off Slovenia's short but idyllic Adriatic coastline.
Not to mention the linden honey ice cream, Austrian swirl cake with walnut paste, raisins, and cottage cheese, handmade sausages, thick polenta, buckwheat dumplings, oh and the rows and rows of fruit trees and pastoral scenes. Where do we sign up? Can any of you Hot Dishers vouch for this incomprehensible wonderland?

Ew, barf, and vomitosis maximus, but we gotta give BK credit for keeping us on our toes (or, on our knees? Sorry --). If the burger chain's not busy offending Hmong people with its ignorance, it's releasing a meat-scented perfume, and lately, it's apparently had time to outdo itself once again, this time to the tune of fellatio. Huh!

Italian coffee manufacturer Lavazza commissioned super photog Annie Leibovitz to take weird pictures of scantily clad and/or nipped out grouchy looking people amid various Italian ruins, architecture and landscape for a 2009 calendar. We don't get it. There's something very Anne Geddes about at least a couple of them, namely the January-February photo which includes actual babies, but also the September-October shot that features a woman draped atop a bed of noodles. Um, ew. The coffee plays an awkward role at best. By the way, are high-legged swimsuits back in? Please God no.

Perhaps you have been wondering quietly to yourself, "Just how long is the world's longest hot dog?" We are here to tell you:

In case you missed Chino Latino's recent "Munch tuna without blowing a wad" special, starting Wednesday, the no-holds-barred restaurant will begin exploiting the connotations of tuna to a slightly different end.
Through the end of the month, the restaurant will be offering "pink tacos for pink slips," aimed at those who have recently lost their jobs. Flash a termination notice and you will receive a "freshly assembled mini-taco consisting of a crispy wonton shell filled with spicy tuna tartare and citrus aioli," the restaurant says.

Sub chain Quizno's, in an effort to hawk what AdFreak calls their "foot-long meat tubes," has a new weird, overtly sexual TV ad in which an oven, in a total porn voice, tries to coax a Quizno's employee to "put it in me."
"I want you to do something," the oven (in a male voice) starts out. When "Scott" haltingly refuses, referencing an earlier encounter, the oven continues, "We both enjoyed that." The acting is hilariously spot on. "Scott" actually seems a little turned on by the whole prospect.

Um, I'm sorry, but ew. I just can't even deal.

The Hot Dish reader Lanny Hoff sent us this salacious photo and lowdown a recent dinner he prepared:
