Cooking with Jack Black

Monday, February 21st, 2005

I saw some show on cable on one of the entertainment networks, a day in the life of-type thing. The subject was Jack Black of Tenacious D fame.

I’m a fan of his work, so I watched it. Between appointments he would go to a McDonald’s drive-thru for nourishment. At one point he assembled what he called the ‘McSurf ‘n’ Turf’–he put the contents of a Filet O’ Fish inside a Big Mac and added some fries. I was impressed, enough to reproduce the burger for myself. It was kind of bland: there really isn’t a great difference in the flavour of anything that comes out of a McDonald’s drive-thru.

Anyhow, I mention this because Jack Black has been spending more time in the kitchen. His latest: the Dorito Burrito, with video.

As a public service to the boombox collecting community, I’ve scanned a copy of the manual that came with my glorious Diamond-brand disco box.
