A.1. Classic Burger Candle — A1 Meat Scents

Just as the KFC Colonel Sanders-shaped floatie is a real thing (and if you haven’t entered to win it yet, what are you waiting for?), meat scented candles are a real thing and you can really buy them for your father or any other-meat loving person in your life.

This year, A.1., the steak sauce that has been sold since 1831 (yeah, it’s that old), has unveiled a new product just in time for Father’s Day: meat scented candles. Does your father love meat? Does he get antsy when it’s time to grill and the storm clouds won’t move on? Is your first memory of him one where he’s holding a set of tongs or a spatula? Then these may be for him.

Coming in three scents—Original Meat, Backyard BBQ, and Classic Burger, each candle is 9-ounces and retails for $14.99. They are hand-poured in the USA (a selling point if pops is super patriotic), and are said to burn for between fifty and seventy hours (though the website says between forty and sixty).

The candles are for sale exclusively at www.A1MeatScents.com until supplies run dry.

Don’t think dad is a candle man but still loves his steak sauce? You could always buy him a

gallon of the stuff

, a

six-pack of bottles

, or even this vintage A.1. ad for Cowpunchers (dude style). Cowpunchers (made in the dude style), seem to be burgers. With onions and A.1. sauce. That’s it. (And while we learned through research that a “cowpuncher” is a term for a cowboy or a ranch hand that works with cattle, it still seems like an odd choice for a recipe title when the phrase “Cowboy Burger” would’ve been just as easy.)

Because we couldn’t resist the rabbit hole that was A.1. branded goods on Ebay, we also found these vintage “Meat doneness picks” that were produced by A.1., if you need a little something extra for ol’ Daddy-o.

Alternatively—for candle lovers and candle haters alike—you could always buy dad a portable grill, pick up a nice cut of beef he’s probably not heard of, and cooking it together, which is probably just as fun as a meat-scented candle.)

What is steak frites? Your new favorite comfort food

How to master the French classic of steak and fries

Steak frites

I've lived in Italy before, which afforded me a quick 2-hour plane ride to Paris in the summers. I'm from the United States, and I don't speak French, so I wasn't exactly familiar with the menu the first time I went to a restaurant in the City of Love. I picked something that looked familiar ... steak frites. I got perfectly seared steak next to a golden mound of crispy fries; it felt familiar and comforting.

So, what is steak frites? It’s one of the simplest, most iconic dishes in French cuisine. A bistro classic, it's exactly what it sounds like: steak and fries. But don't let its simplicity fool you — when done right, it delivers big flavor with minimal fuss.

A new clean coffee blend designed specific for cold brewing

Purity Coffee Cold Brew

Health-focused coffee company, Purity Coffee, has just released its latest innovation: Cold Brew. The new Cold Brew is a single-origin Brazilian coffee, specially crafted for cold brewing at home. Purity Coffee is known for its high-end, mold-free coffee—this blend, which uses beans rich in antioxidants and prebiotic compounds. The latest cold brew blend is designed explicitly with gut health in mind, setting a new standard in health-conscious coffee. Available in whole bean or ground coffee, the new Purity Coffee Cold Brew blend is a medium-roast coffee with tasting notes of cocoa nibs and peanut butter.

The Purity Coffee Cold Brew, now available online, can be easily used with any of your favorite at-home cold brew methods. Just steep for at least 6 to 7 hours to ensure maximum flavor extraction, as well as the extraction of caffeine and antioxidants. This coffee blend, along with all products by Purity Coffee, undergoes rigorous third-party testing for mycotoxins, impurities, and other contaminants, leading to the best-tasting cup of coffee. As health-conscious coffee consumption continues to rise, coffee drinkers are increasingly paying attention to potential toxins and mold that can be present in their coffee. As a regular cold brew drinker, I'm especially excited about this new release by Purity Coffee.
