Here's our first installment of Nadvice. In this quickie, Nadia G will be showing you how to de-germ garlic.

You don’t hear much about Brad Pitt reminiscing over his laborious days at El Pollo Loco in downtown L.A. or how Johnny Depp used to work as an over-the-phone salesman before landing a role in Nightmare on Elm Street. The trials and tribulations of a struggling actor are quickly forgotten when they finally get their big break. Until that break does come, life isn’t always a sack of rainbows.

The road to success can be long and tedious, and yes, pretty rewarding once you make it. But the unfortunate truth is – no one really cares if Joe Actor had to sleep in a van while he tried to make his dreams come true. It’s a reality of the business that almost everyone in acting has to deal with at some point. So for all of them, here’s a story from the road.

Let me make one thing clear right off the bat: I don’t eat spicy foods. Or more accurately – can’t eat spicy foods. I was once told that when it came to hot foods, temperature-wise and spice-wise, I didn’t have a chef’s mouth but rather a taster’s mouth. Read: my mouth is a wuss.

Some people love hot foods; put pepper-flakes on their eggs, mix Tabasco into their chocolate milk, whatever. They eat these nuclear meals and through the beads of sweat, look up at you, tears streaming from their eyes and say, “Man, this is great! Not that hot though…” Well, this is for all those people. I don’t understand you, but I do occasionally respect you. So, if whatever you’ve been eating lately just isn’t spicy enough, here are three of the hottest foods on planet earth to shake things up a bit.

Nadia G schools us on how to use modern Italian slang. Today's Word of the Day: Rimbambite.

If you’re a fan of food and comedy – and since you’re visiting our site we’ll go ahead and assume you are – get ready to become a fan of one of the best new series to hit the Net: Amuse Bouche.

Amuse Bouche is the brainchild of actor/comedian Jonathan Blitt, a veteran of MTV’s popular reality prank show Boiling Points, who’s also appeared on episodes of Weeds and MadTV.

The webseries invites viewers to tag along in the life of obnoxious, bumbling, but mostly well-intentioned French chef Andre Charboneaux (Blitt) as he attempts to forge a career for himself in America. Think a gastronomic Curb Your Enthusiasm or The Office – comedy crafted to tickle your taste buds as well as your funny bone.
