(Dutch) Pancakes

In Calgary, we had the pleasure of going to The Pfanntastic Pannenkoek House with Smalltown Pete, his wife Dawn and some friends of theirs. Dutch pancakes are great. They bake a whole bunch of crap into them and are delicious. We had to wait almost an hour to get in, but it was totally worth it.

I had a bacon & egg pancake. Sour cream is so crucial.


Dawn didn't want to take a break from eating to pose.


We're pretty fired up.


In honour of this Pfanntastic experience, I put together a little party break about pancakes. I tried to get it done in time for Shrove Tuesday, but life got in the way. Whatever. Get off my case. Here it is, a bunch of beats and lyrics all about pancakes. Enjoy.

Got Hot Dogs in your Area?

As some of you probably guessed from our recent all-you-can-eat Hip Hop Halloweenie Roast, Co-op and I are big fans of hot dogs. Nothing beats a hot frankfurter on the street corner after a long, hard gig.

Anyway, we wanna know – are there any dope hot dog spots in your area? Places we just have to hit up while we're in your town? Does your city have a local style of hot dog? Like, if I go up to the lady behind the counter and say, "I'll have my hot dog 'Kelowna style,'" is she gonna dip it in maple syrup or something? Because I'd eat that.

So please, post you hot dog spot suggestions below, and we'll go out of our way to try them out. In the meantime, I'm so fired up about wieners, I just had to express myself through this party break I made - enjoy!

Damn I Like Jam

Special Ed and friends break down the best spread of all time - OF ALL TIME!

Cook up a Loaf of Bread

When Co-op and I decided to make party breaks based on our favourite food-related raps, one line by the legendary Large Professor instantly jumped to mind.

This particular line, the foundation of today's musical offering, is vintage Extra P: Nonsensical, preposterous, and hard-as-f**k.

Anyway, we hope you like it. And if you prefer your bread with fresh preserves spread on top, well Co-op's got something for you coming up next.

I Like The Whopper

It's time to hit you off with the first of our exclusive food party breaks! It's very fitting that this one is first, as it's a meal very dear to my heart: The Big Mac. Rob Base had it twisted, but don't worry it's all good now. Enjoy!

Welcome to Diners, Dancers & Douchebags!

DJ Co-op and DJ Hunnicutt are back with their 4th annual Western Canadian tour - DINERS, DANCERS & DOUCHEBAGS. Inspired by a similarly-titled Food Network program, Winnipeg's favourite DJs are traveling to the coast, looking for the west's finest Diners, Dancers and Douchebags!

DINERS:
Everyone knows a road trip runs on food, and a tour is no different. Co-op and Hunnicutt will be looking for the best places to stop for grub - both on the road, and at each tour stop. Whether it's milkshakes in Moosomin, BBQ in Burnaby or fillet-o-sole in Fernie, it will all be documented and reviewed on the tour blog: dinersdancersanddouchebags.blogspot.com. Know a joint the boys absolutely must hit up? Let them know by leaving a comment or email via the blog!

DANCERS:
Of course, Co-op and Hunnicutt are DJs before food critics and they're looking for the best booty-shakers the west has to offer! Think you've got what it takes to make the blog? Send in video of you and your friends dancing and you could win VIP passes to the party in your city! To help you get prepared, Co-op and Hunnicutt have made a series of funky food-related party breaks and will be releasing them as FREE downloads on the blog in the weeks leading up to the tour. Once again, they'll be up on the blog!

DOUCHEBAGS:
Sadly, no dance party would be complete without the requisite number of douchebags at the venue - they make the cool people seem that much cooler! Rather than ignore their existence, Co-op and Hunnicutt are choosing to celebrate the douchebag. They'll be photographing, interviewing and rating every gnarly dude they come across – comparing them to the alpha-douchebag himself: Guy Fieri, host of an unnamed Food Network show. Do you or someone you know fit the bill as Western Canada's biggest douchebag? Let Co-op and Hunnicutt know, and we'll feature them on – you guessed it – the tour blog.

DATES:
Friday, February 12 • Lake Louise – Explorers Lounge
Saturday, February 13 • Calgary – Hi Fi Club
Tuesday, February 16 • Fernie – Bulldogs
Thursday, February 18 • Golden – Rockwater Bar & Grill
Friday, February 19 • Vancouver – Shine
