SnackManiac was lucky enough to be back in Minneapolis last weekend and we hit the snacks pretty hard in honor of my brother's graduation. We went to a hip place called the 112 Eatery which was excellent. Upon our arrival, we were greeted with these snacks, they were already waiting for us!!! (There are always perks to making your reservation under "SnackManiac...") The olives were in some delicious fennel related brine and those nuts, you wouldn't believe them, they were spicy, sweet and sticky, all AT THE SAME TIME!!!Those almonds were so delicious that I dumped the uneaten ones into a Ziploc in my purse for snacking at a later date. Unfortunately the baggie already had 6 Pepto and about a dozen Advil tablets in it, so I wound up with what I am now calling "GRADUATION SNACK MIX." I was quite lucky to have this on hand during the ceremony itself which lasted 3 hours (WITH NO SNACK BREAKS!!) Anyhow, I think that celebrity chefs should start incorporating "Pepto dust" into some of that conceptual haute cusine that is all the rage. Bobby Flay, you can have that idea, I'll just give it to you, no ThrowDown necessary.

Maybe [NAME REDACTED: "The Local At-Work Eatery"] should consider using "Pepto Dust" to counteract their liberal use of Ex-Lax in the szechuan chicken.
What if they gave you a little baggie of Graduation Trail Mix (tm) with each styro box of the $5.95 lunch SPECIAL?
This is now officially the most disgusting SnackManiac post ever.
