The offbeat journal of food, drink, travel, and fun returns with a potluck of supermarket nostalgia, culinary chaos, and pop culture deep dives. Whether you're a coupon-clipping cost-cutter, a roast beef romantic, or a congealed salad connoisseur, this issue has something for every flavor of foodie and retro renegade.
- Supermarket Report Card: THG calls it like he sees it with an honest grading of grocery giants like ALDI, Lidl, Wegmans, and more.
- Origins of THG: How childhood grocery runs turned one man into a cost-conscious gorehound with a love for fig bars and film tie-in novels.
- Sci-Fi Potluck: Kevin M. Flanagan serves up a genre-bending buffet of interstellar eats.
- Roy Rogers Returns: A nostalgic pilgrimage to the home of the Double R Bar Burger.
- Can I Get an Amen?: Louis Fowler contemplates the healing power of frybread.
- The Grocery Store of My Youth: Douglas Waltz waxes poetic about Skedgell’s IGA, comic spinner racks, and wild cherry cough drops.
- Aspic "Appreciation": Leigh Anne Moriarty celebrates her dear mother-in-law, and ponders her devotion to congealed salads and food suspended in aspic.
Plus:
- An interview with the man behind PANMAN
- Pouring one out for our dearly departed beer fridge
- Retro ads, comics, and meat department memories
Whether you're hungover, hungry, or just hunting for a good read, THG #13 is your ticket to a world where food meets fandom and nostalgia never expires. Grab your thimble of tomato juice and dig in!
