The Eric Andre Show, our eponymous host's LSD-soaked nightmare talkshow, has created some of the most maddeningly subversive comedy of the decade. None have captured the imagination of the internet, however, quite like the pizza ball. A gnarled sphere of everyone's favorite cheesy flatbread, the pizza ball (not unlike the show itself) is probably best enjoyed under the influence of something.

Prepared Pizza Dough (homemade or store bought)

Start by rolling out your pizza dough on a liberally floured work surface. Cut into 1 inch squares.

Add some pepperoni and one cube of mozzarella cheese to the square of dough. Wrap each corner up and around the mozzarella clockwise, being sure to pinch all gaps closed.

In a cast iron skillet, heat 1 inch of vegetable oil to 350°F and add your pizza balls. Flip and fry for about 5 minutes until they are deeply golden brown.

Parmesan Cheese (the powdered kind the jar)

In a separate bowl combine: parmesan cheese, a few healthy dashes of oregano, and red pepper flakes.

Remove pizza balls from the cast iron and toss them in the parmesan mixture.

Serve with a side of warm marinara sauce and enjoy!

We all get that late night urge for a little something sweet. Instead of reaching in the pantry for any old chocolate bar, try making it yourself! All you’ll need is about 1 kilo of fermented and dried cacao beans, a fan, food processor, conching machine, cocoa butter, sugar, one poly carbonate chocolate bar mold, and about 24-30 hours. It’s really that simple!

This week, Springfieldian culinary giant Marge Simpson innovates once again with another playful twist on a familiar favorite: wasabi buffalo wings. In a rare cartoon food mash-up that actually sounds pretty awesome, a wasabi hot sauce must be merged with half its weight in butter to qualify for a Buffalo moniker. Will this Eastern twist on a Western New York favorite win any wing-off's?

This week, we're taking a look at Bobby Hill's brilliant (and age-appropriate) idea of doubling the butter in a factory-standard chocolate chips cookie. How can we prevent paper-thin, floppy, ineffectual cookies as a result of all the added richness? We need only listen to the wisdom of Lama Sanglug: let the wind take the world away, and make sure the butter stays emulsified.
