Cliff-Diving Waitresses, Pizza-Scented Condoms, and the Other Edible News You Missed This Week

This week, we slurped down various weed-infused shakes and smoothies, egg-rolled with Chef E-Dubble, and enjoyed the sweet scent of pizza-imbued condoms.

There's a lot to celebrate this weekend: the return of glorious, glorious sunshine to our hitherto ice-encrusted Earth; the annual kickoff of March Madness, for those of you who are interested in sports (we hear it has something to do with a basketball … right?); and, for all the music, tech, and film lovers out there, the yearly craziness that is SXSW descends upon Austin today (the festival's "Interactive" programming starts this weekend, but if you'll be there next week, be sure to check out Fuck, That's Delicious host Action Bronson's rhymes and foods starting on Wednesday).

It's going to be a busy weekend, but here at MUNCHIES, we've been turned up to 11 all week long, too.

We were feeling pretty keyed up after watching our most recent episode of FUEL, in which Olympic snowboarder Ross Rebagliati shares his recipe for a delectable—and buzz-inducing—cannabis honey-infused smoothie. And after reading through this story about bhang lassi, the Indian milkshake that's subtly perfumed with cardamom, rosewater, and weed. And speaking of the ganj, we got a real kick out of watching this video of everyone's favorite chicken pot-cciatore-cooking grandma, Nonna Marijuana, being equal parts feisty and adorable as she addressed the YouTube comments you all left on her inaugural episode of Bong Appetit.

Elsewhere in the world of video this week, we learned how to make dope cabbage, bacon and shrimp egg rolls with Chef E-Dubble, caterer-to-the-stars for the likes of Drake, The Game, and T-Pain (scope the recipe here). We also dove—literally—into the wild, wild world that is Casa Bonita, the insane Mexican restaurant in Denver that was forever immortalized by South Park in 2003. We also got to speak with one of the restaurante's cliff-diving waitresses, who shared her secret to becoming a top-notch diver: "Honestly, I just learned to dive by hurling myself off a cliff." Touché.

It was a big week for pizza chez MUNCHIES. Probably you've never, ever wanted your lover to don a pizza-printed, pizza-scented prophylactic as he sweetly seduces you into the bedroom? Well, just in case, the pizza condom actually exists, and we spoke with its designer, who's experiencing some Victor Frankenstein-style creators' regret. We longingly envied the career choices of the proprietors of Pizza Pi, a pizza delivery boat that operates in the waters of the US Virgin Islands. And we investigated the phenomenon that is Breaking Bad fans recreating the show's infamous Season Three pizza-tossing scene (hint: show creator Vince Gilligan wants you to stop fucking doing that, assholes).

It's Friday, and as such, we are going to urge you to get out into the world and drink a shitty TGIF cocktail. This will be easier for Bay Area residents than it will be for the rest of us: luckily, y'all have black market "Summer Coolers," extravagant candy-topped, booze-filled mason jars sold out of a private Oakland home. Suck one down for us, Californians, while the rest of us console ourselves with the fact that as ladies, we're less likely to get cut off at the bar then our male counterparts (sorry, dudes). Cheers to the gender divide!
