The Funny Lying Day, we do have to give some begrudging admiration to Adult Swim’s annual efforts. If nothing else, the network’s yearly pranks show a hell of a lot of effort, even some risk, whether that means debuting a highly anticipated episode of Rick And Morty months early, or running The Room three years running. Or taking an episode of Rick And Morty, re-naming it “Rick And Morty Babies,” and having kids re-record all the dialogue. ...

That first bite, and the initial discovery of a beautiful flavor that resides just beneath the surface of an unassuming brown exterior. A beauty that reveals itself, bite after bite, as a torrent of aromatic compounds seamlessly woven together by time and love. The warmth of a mouth provides just enough heat to melt the tender, gravy-coated beef on the palate. Even the rice is given new life by bathing it...
