The Food Court Musical

GiggleSugar — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 14:00:00 PDT

Improv Everywhere is known for busting out comedic performances in unlikely locations, so they staged a musical - in a shopping mall food court. It all started with the Hot Dog on a Stick girl crying over spilled lemonade and ended with the whole food court triumphantly singing about napkin shortage. Hungry patrons, clueless that the joke was on them, didn't know whether to laugh or cry. If you ask me, all they had to do was buy a corn dog from the crying chick and tell her to shove it. But that would have made this a lot less funny.

Food Court Survival: Part I

FitSugar — Sat, 17 Nov 2007 03:00:00 PST

The mall is almost unavoidable during the holidays, and something about all that running around and waiting in lines makes me hungry. What's worse: Not only am I hungry, but I also know there is a place where food is easily accessible. That place, like the fast food holy land, is the Food Court.

Don't worry, we can get through this.

My first idea is to stick to places where you can actually eat healthy. Deli-type places (Au Bon Pain, Subway, etc.) that don't even have a deep fryer are good options - in other words, places where you can't get french fries and onion rings. Places such as Cinnabon, where it's gooey cinnamon roles or nothing, are out.

Au Bon Pain is a favorite of mine but watch out for cheeses, mayonnaise, and any other special sauces they throw on a sandwich and opt for mustard instead. A great option is the Tuna Nicoise Salad, with 270 calories and 12 grams of fat; get the dressing on the side to lower those numbers even more. People tend to think Chinese food is healthy, but that is not always the case - go steamed or not at all. A good option at Panda Express is the Mushroom Chicken with a side of mixed veggies, all for about 220 calories and 15 grams of fat.

Favorite Excuse for Not Working Out: It's TOO Hot!

FitSugar — Fri, 29 Jun 2007 13:30:00 PDT

Summer is here and man is it hot out! The heat can dehydrate your body and drain your energy. This combined with feeling uncomfortably sticky and sweaty can make you want to skip the workout and head for your air-conditioned living room.

There are plenty of things you can do to work your body without overheating. Here are some ideas:

Swim! If you hit the pool for 30 minutes, you can burn up to 270 calories.
Take up a water sport like kayaking or water skiing. It works your upper body and if you get hot, you can just jump in.
Take a bike ride. When the wind's blowing through your hair and over your body, it feels cooler than if you were going for a run.
Don't do as much. If you are used to playing tennis for an hour, cut it down to 30 minutes or less.
Workout in an air-conditioned gym.
Keep ice water close by while you work out and drink as often as you feel you need to. If you are doing high intensity cardio, try to sip small amounts - drinking too much could give you a bellyache.
Walk the mall. That's right. It's not hot in there so you can walk back and forth staying cool and totally entertained (don't you just love people watching and window shopping?).

The Shopping Mall Is the Next Great Food Frontier

YumSugar — Thu, 10 Mar 2011 05:17:51 PST

Considering the rapid growth of farmers markets over the last decade, it's no surprise that mall operators want a piece of the gourmet provisions pie, too.

Mall operators like Macerich Co. and Westfield Group are beginning to open markets inside their properties, where vendors can sell, among other items, gourmet prepared foods and groceries such as heirloom coffee, small-batch vinegars, artisan meats, and wine. One market in Santa Monica will even boast a cooking school, as well as a soufflé bar.

Curious about the logic behind the new trend? Head over to Slashfood to catch all the details and weigh in on your thoughts.

Forget Hunger Games, Josh Hutcherson's Got Mario on the Brain

Kelly Schwarze — Fri, 30 Mar 2012 12:33:03 PDT

Blame it on the afterhomework marathon sessions playing Super Mario Bros. during our formative years, but walking down the street we find ourselves singing the distinct doo do doo of the theme music almost daily. So does Hunger Games star Josh Hutcherson, who confessed the wordless 8-bit sounds have been something of an obsession amid all the publicity chaos for the film. Stars - they're just like us!

We like to think that playing these songs in our head while walking through a crowded mall or while navigating public transit helps us to harness the powers of Mario. Watch Peeta himself interpret the songs of your childhood in the video below.
