Editor’s note: This post was a collaboration between AoM and Sam Gambino, a manly artist in his own right.

The food famously got its name from John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich, who, in order to keep his hands from getting greasy while munching on [...]

Man Knowledge: A History of Man-Eaters

by A Manly Guest Contributor

Editor’s Note: This is a guest post from Ty Karnitz. What separates man from beast? It is a question I’ve heard answered a dozen ways: religion, tool-making, empathy, agriculture, self-awareness.

A Chef’s Guide to Losing Weight

by Matt Moore

Last week, I was enjoying a successful post-fishing lunch at Puckett’s Grocery in Leipers Fork, TN. Perhaps I should clarify…I was indulging in Southern comfort food: fried catfish, mac n’ cheese, mashed potatoes, turnip greens, drop biscuits, and an ice cold Yazoo Pale Ale. Delicious – yes. Healthy – no way. Sure, maybe I went [...]

The Surprisingly Manly History of Hot Cocoa

by Brett & Kate McKay

‘Tis the season for hot cocoa. At least it is for red-cheeked children who are looking to warm up after coming in from a well-spent snow day. And for lady folk curled up in a blanket watching The Shop Around the Corner. But a man, he’s sitting by the fire in his leather chair, drinking [...]
