Insert double entendre here.

When our friend at Hi-Time posted a bottle of rum with a label bearing the name and portrait of a certain porn star, we couldn't decide whether it merited a LOL or OMFG comment. We've since blocked out the thought.

Whether you love or loathe Ron Jeremy, mark your calendar for July 9, for that is the fated date of his arrival in Costa Mesa to promote a  7-year-old, Ron de Jeremy "Adult Rum".

​One-third of the founding brothers behind Orange County's quick-casual eatery simply known as Wahoo's is not just On The Line, but on the go. We accompany Wing in the carpool lane one afternoon as he reflects on his education and passion for cooking to the masses. Buckle up!

What are six words to describe your food?
Clean fun food for the soul.

​Texas, what the hell happened to you? You used to be, you know, Texas: a proud stretch of state, a country unto its own that didn't need the rest of us to tell you how to live. Where Tejanos, African-Americans, Czechs, Germans, Poles, and a hella lot other people created one of the great regional cultures of America. Sure, you guys gave us Dubya (kind of) and LBJ, but you also rewarded the world with Nolan Ryan, Roger Staubach, and your cuisine: Tex-Mex, barbecue, chili, seafood from the Gulf of Mexico and Two Pesos v. Taco Cabana, the influential Supreme Court decision that ensured restaurants could never rip off their competitors' look ever again.

But now, your just a shadow of yourself. The Cowboys tanked last year, Tex-Mex's decline is so precipitous that Texas Monthly last year announced the rise of Mex-Tex, a cute term that only means Texan culture is on the skids, and poor Whataburger never could parlay constant shout-outs on King of the Hill into a national following.

And the worst part of it all? Y'all are going crazy over In-n-Out. In-n-Out--a California institution. California: your eternal opposite. By golly, if Sam Houston and his slave-loving ways were still around, he'd vamoose to Oklahoma.

Dallas and its people are in a hubbub over In-N-Out, scheduled to make its debut in Texas there soon. The March issue of D Magazine (that city's version of Orange Coast) even commissioned a lengthy piece by a certain local food writer who thinks they're God's gift to fast food that extolled the Irvine-based chain's virtues (for a far-better piece, read this rebuttal in the same issue).

But the only voice that matters right now in Dallas is that of the Mavericks, and the team's star player just issued the ultimate verdict.

Who's Alex Pettyfer? That's the same question I'm asking, but the E! side of the celebrity universe is pumping him up as the next It Boy--good for him.

For our purposes, though, we only care that the Brit ate at In-N-Out.

I am not a Canadian, so I do not know what chains they inordinately idolize, so who knows how teeny-bopper Justin Bieber got to In-N-Out before departing on a flight from LAX on Valentine's Day--but order some he did.

Pop chanteuse Katy Perry has never hidden her love for In-N-Out--she's tweeted about it, told reporters about it, and more. We get it--she loves the burgers.

But she can't say it enough.

​I like the Lakers, but despise Kobe Bryant. Ron Artest? Total weirdo, which makes him a class act in my book. And now another reason to like him: another In-N-Out nut.
