We are from Upstate New York (in other words we live in the state of New York, not the city) and my grandmother first had this when she was visiting a friend in the 1000 Islands. I’m not really sure if it is really called “1000 Island Steak” or if that is just what my grandmother called it, but it has stuck with the family ever since. In fact, it has become a staple for whenever the boys come over for a big game or some good fights on PPV. They always request the “1000 Island”.

So without further ado, here we go.

No this really isn’t all that complicated to make. It’s only a few ingredients. But it is something that you have to watch as you cook very carefully. When I was in college I used to try to do this on the mini propane grill that we had at our lacrosse house and I would end up completely burning the entire thing. So you have to be careful!

The ingredients:

• 1.5-2 lbs hamburger meat. I go with the 80/20 because this sandwich is not where you want to start thinking about your waste.
• 2 packages of bacon. Regular slice is fine here.
• 1/2 brick of cheese. This depends on your taste. I like pepper jack. But I have used cheddar, mozzarella, and provolone.
• Pepper
• Onion Powder

And that’s it.

Now the other key ingredient that is absolutely essential to making this is the grilling basket. You really can’t do it without it. You can buy them at Home Depot or anywhere that sells grilling supplies or equipment.

First thing you do is spray the basket with grilling Pam. This will help in the end! Then what you do is lay down a layer of bacon. You want all of the pieces to be connected and overlapping. You want to cover the bottom of the basket with bacon.

Once you have done that, take out half of the ground beef and make a giant patty as thin as you can. It is important that you connect the beef together and it is on big patty. You can’t have any holes!  You lay that on top of the bacon, leaving about an inch or two of bacon on all sides.

You then grate the cheese and lay it on top of the ground beef, again, leaving about an inch of ground beef on the sides. Sprinkle a little onion powder on top of that.

Then you take the rest of the beef and make another patty. Again, you have to make sure there are no holes. You lay this patty on top of the cheese and connect the been on the sides. This makes one giant “Juice Lucy” hamburger.

Once you have it all connected and no holes, you fold the excess bacon from the bottom layer over the top. Then you take the rest of your bacon and you layer the top just like you did before. Each piece is connected and overlapping. You cover the entire burger.

Once there is no more burger showing you put the top of the grilling basket on, making sure it is tight. Sprinkle the outside with pepper.

Now go to the grill and cook it on low for about 10-15 minutes per side. Your grill will flame up from the fat so you have to be extremely careful. Keep an eye on the grill at all times. This is very easy to go up in flames and become a big piece of charcoal.

Once you’re done, take it off and slice it into individual burgers.

You will be the king of the tailgate with this one!

So with that here are the “21 Manly Things to Own”

Grill

Every guy needs to own a grill. You need to have some form of cooking a steak on your own if you are a man. If you live in the city where proper space for an outside grill cannot be afforded to you, I know of a portly former boxing champion who has an inside grill that can come in handy in a pinch. But you really should own a grill if you have a pair. And owning is half the battle. You are the only one who knows how to use your grill and you guard that privilege with your life, if necessary.

Tool Kit

Ok, so I have to come clean a little bit. I’m about as handy as a back pocket on a shirt, but I do have a tool kit. I may not be able to accurately identify every piece of equipment in said tool kit, but I sure as hell have it. And you should to. You never know when those plyer thingy’s are going to be necessary.

Decent Pair of Sunglasses

It gets sunny outside. You need to protect your eyes. Sunglasses are a necessity. But there are a few rules here. Do not buy a pair from the local pharmacy or grocery store for $5. They look as cheap as they are. “Grow up Peter Pan…Count Chocula!” The other rule is that if I see you wearing sunglasses at night I am going to assume that you are covering up a shiner because there is absolutely no sensible reason for you to don sunglasses in the dark unless you’re in the UFC and you’re hiding your black eye at the post fight press conference. Again, sunglasses are a necessity but don’t abuse them.

Watch

Now a lot of guys love watches. I do too. But I also have really gotten into the fitness trackers lately. So I am going to lump them into this category as well. You need something on your wrist that tells time. This is also an excellent opportunity to show off your taste and sophistication so let’s leave the Garfield watch in the drawer. It’s not funny. It’s not cute.

Grooming Kit

Ok, so there has been a big resurgence in facial hair recently and frankly I’m all about it. I despise shaving and would love to be able to get away with not ever doing it. But there are limits. Trim that thing up. I know if I let myself go for more than a few days without grooming my facial hair I end up looking something like Michael J Fox in Teen Wolf. The cheek bone facial hair is not a good look. Trim it up. And while we’re at it, the grooming kit can also be used elsewhere. I’m not going to get too graphic here, but think logically. What you like on her, she probably likes on you. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, then you may not need to read on as you are probably not old enough to be worrying about what a man should own anyway.

Bottle Opener (Church Key)

There is nothing worse than offering a cold one to a friend and then having them have to use their keys in some MacGyver-esque move to take off the cap. A bottle opener is something that every guy should have at the ready. You never know when you will need one.

Cards/Poker Table and Chips

If you are a guy, you should enjoy poker with your buddies. It’s only natural. But don’t be the guy that plays with old soggy cards and pennies and nickels. You need a decent set in order to host, so pony up and get a few decks of good playing cards and enough chips to cover the boys.

Gym Membership

Do not become the prototypical slouch of a man with a beer gut hanging out and not enough wind to make it past second base (take that however you want it). If you have a beer gut, do something about it! Every man should fit exercise into their daily routine.

Booze

It’s funny how I fit this right after the gym membership, but every guy should have some booze in the house. Even if you don’t drink, that doesn’t mean your company doesn’t as well. Even if you don’t want to have bottles of booze at the house, you could at least have a couple of cold ones on hand at all times for when your buddies come over.

Cigars

Every guy should have a few nice cigars on hand. There is no better way to celebrate a win in life than smoking a nice cigar with your feet up, relishing in victory. It’s also a very cool thing to offer your buddies. A cold one and a cigar and you’re good to go!

Sports Equipment/Balls

You should have a football, basketball, soccer ball in your possession and be able to find it. It should also be able to be inflated and used. You’re a guy. You are expected to have these things. There is nothing worse than your boys wanting to toss around the pigskin and you having to sheepishly admit that you don’t have one. Immediate review of your Man Card.

Wallet

You should own a nice leather wallet. Even if you carry your money in a money clip. You need a place to store your other pertinent information. I’m not saying you have to be George Costanza and have a wallet that resembles a Big Mac. But you should have something!

Chef’s Knife

There is nothing worse than seeing a man try to cut something up with a simple steak knife. Get yourself a decent Chef’s knife and you’ll be amazed at the things it can do! You’ll be like Bobby Flay in no time!

Computer/Laptop

Let’s face it…you need a way to get to your favorite site…ThingsMenBuy.com!

Duct Tape

Essential. This is beyond a must have. It is perhaps the most important item in this list. You should also know where the duct tape is at all times as well. There is nothing worse than knowing that you can finally solve a problem that has the rest of the room stumped but not being able to find the one ingredient that you know will do the trick. The duct tape!

Power Tools

Again, I’m no Bob Villa, but I do have a few power tools. How emasculating is it when a buddy is over helping you fix something and asks for your drill and you have to look him in the eye and tell him you don’t have one. Again….Man Card review.

Protein Bars

Nothing says man more than a good protein bar after a hard workout. You should have some on hand for those days when you bust your ass in the gym and you just don’t feel like making a solid meal afterwards.

Good Headphones

Every guy needs to be able to get away. Noise cancelling headphones are essential. I could not perform without them. I have a lot of noise going on around me. Pretty much my whole life. I would not be able to function if I didn’t have my noise cancelling headphones.

Movie Collection

Every guy should have a respectable collection of movies. Essentials in comedy, action, and horror. Don’t rely on Netflix. You should own your favorites…and be able to recite them word for word!

Books

Yes…books. You should have books that you have read and intend to read. You should read a book a week. That’s my goal at least. Expand your mind. Exercise your brain.

Recipes

Every guy should have their own recipes. Your own specials that you will never allow any other guy to know because it’s just that damn good and you don’t want them getting credit for your creation. Those recipes! If you don’t have at least one dish that you’re known for, even if it’s in your own mind, then you need to get to the kitchen and get to work! Every guy needs their own secret recipes!

Probably not.

The fact is that most guys don’t even know what a rare steak truly is supposed to be. When you order a rare steak, do you know what you are telling the cook? Or do you just know that you like your meat with a little red in the middle? This is not your backyard grill where you get to make the rules. There are really specifications to the degree of doneness when you order a steak. Especially at a steakhouse. I made this mistake myself when I was in my rookie season. So I decided to put this little guide together for all you rookies out there.

How to Order a Steak

These are the various ways you can order a steak.  Read each and figure out which way you like it.

Blue

I bet you didn’t even know this was an option, did you? I definitely didn’t when I first saw it. This is more rare than rare (if that makes any sense). A blue steak is just warmed on the outside and the inside is still cool. The center is bright red and the steak almost feels raw. It’s only cooked for a minute or two on each side.

Rare

This is cooked slightly more than a blue steak. It is seared on the outside for a couple of minutes per site but it is still cool on the inside. Up to 120 degrees. It is still soft to the touch and almost feels raw on the inside.

Medium Rare

This is the most popular way to order a steak. You get the best of both worlds. You don’t feel like you’re necessarily eating a raw piece of meat, but you still get that red middle. The outside is seared a little bit longer giving it a thicker crust and locking in those succulent juices. The middle is cooked from 130 to 145 degrees.

Medium

This is just what it says, right in the middle. If you don’t want too much pink in your steak, but you don’t want to be chewing on leather, this is what you order. This is cooked to about 160 degrees.

Medium Well

These steaks are for those who want absolutely no pink in their meat. This steak has a very thick crust and is cooked all the way through.

Well Done

This is shoe leather. This steak looks like it’s been left on and forgotten about for half the night. I don’t know of anyone that prefers their meat this way, but I am thinking about doing a post on beef jerky and that may be right up your alley if you like your steak well done!

So there you have it, rookies. Now you know that when you go to a steakhouse, this is what you’re asking for. So what you thought was a perfect medium rare on your grill in your backyard is most likely at least a medium. And probably creeps up to a medium well once it sits for 5 minutes.

Now normally a pair of cufflinks are about as interesting to me as an old piece of gum, but these definitely have something else to them. They are made from real game balls that have been used in Major League baseball games. The cufflinks are actually the stitches of the baseball that have been cut out. The stitches are set in sterling silver, giving them a perfect balance of game worn elegance.

Each pair comes with a hologram number verifying their authenticity and your team engraved in the sterling silver. You can even go online and search the number and find out everything there is to know about the game the balls came from that were used to make your set of cufflinks.

Talk about a conversation starter! I remember the episode of Seinfeld where Jerry had an old pair of Jerry Lewis’ old cufflinks that he was going to use to start up a conversation. Now imagine having a pair of game used baseball cufflinks from a game that had a no-hitter. Or the game the Yankees clinch the pennant!

When I was looking these cufflinks up I saw even more goodies that I have to get my hands on. There are the hockey stick and baseball bat bottle openers. Game used base stools where the seat is actually a base that was used in a real game. Imagine having a man cave and at your bar, there are stools where the seats are real bases from actual Major League games. On top of your bar, you have a bottle opener made out of a real game used bat from your favorite team. These are touches that not many people can have to their man cave.

But first things first. I need to get my hands on a pair of Yankees game used baseball cufflinks! I need to research the game they were from and know it inside and out. So anytime I wear these cufflinks I can tell people all about them. I really don’t think anything says you’re a ginormous fan quite like a pair of game used baseball cufflinks from your favorite team. Check them out!

In fact, you might say I’m a bit of a connoisseur of sour candy! There are not many that I haven’t tried. I’m actually ashamed to admit that I used to have a subscription that delivered five different sour candies to my house every month. That might be going a little overboard for most, but it was right up my alley. I would sit and wait for the mailman when my delivery was scheduled to come to the house like it was Christmas day! So needless to say, I’m a little bit of an expert when it comes to sour candy.

So if I had to pick my favorite sour candies of all time, here are my top 3:

3. Coming in at number 3 would have to be Trolli sour gummi worms. This was a close race between Sour Patch Kids and the gummi worms, but after watching a recent episode of Unwrapped 2.0 that featured Trolli gummi worms, I decided to make them my number 3 sour candy. 

2. Coming in at number 2 is my old favorite…Sour Skittles. These are outstanding. Skittles were always my favorite candy growing up. When they added the sour option back in 2000, it was one of the greatest things to happen in the food industry since they decided to slice the bread. Just when you think they couldn’t make something so great any better, they went ahead and did it! And knocked it out of the park! This was definitely number one on the list until it was overtaken recently with…

1. Chewy Sour Sweet Tarts. I was introduced to these guys a few years ago when they were known as Shockers. I was really pissed when I thought they went away. They actually are sour. Now as you know, a lot of sour candies claim to be sour but are barely even tart! I like to have that pucker in my sour candy before it turns sweet. These Sweet Tarts do the trick for sure. They can definitely make you pucker up, but it doesn’t last long. Then it turns to a sweet chewy goodness that leaves you wanting more every time. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.

So there you have it. My top 3 sour candies of all time! What do you guys think? Comment below and let me know any I may have overlooked.

The first thing that may help when it comes to buying a steak at the grocery store is to get the idea of convenience out of your head. You are looking for quality, not convenience. The best part of buying things at the grocery store is that everything you need is typically right there. All wrapped up and ready to go. But how long has it been that way? In other words, that steak you’re looking to buy had been wrapped up in the package for more time than I care to think about. What you want is a fresh cut. So most grocery stores actually have a butcher there. You want to go to him and have him get you a fresh cut.

The next thing you want to think about when buying a steak at the grocery store is price. This coincides with the first point. This is a steak. Not ground beef. Again, it’s about quality. Yes, going to the butcher will cost more. But what is the price that you put on quality when it comes to your steak? I know if I’m going to eat a steak, I want it to be the best it can be. And it all starts with the steak purchase.

So before going to your grocery store’s butcher, you want to know what type of steak you want to be getting. How many are you cooking for? Is this a fancy dinner or a family reunion type of get-together? Once you have the cut you’re looking for set, it’s time to actually talk to the butcher.

Don’t be afraid to talk to the butcher. See what meat is the freshest. Ask him what grade the meat is and what they recommend. They will definitely be able to help guide you in the right direction.

Now I know this part is kind of a douchy thing to do, and it makes me “that guy”, but what I like to do is have them cut you me a steak, then say that the cut is no good and have them cut another. I know, I know, that’s kind of shady, but think about it…I am assured to get an absolute fresh cut because the only part of the meat that is touching any air is the edges of the steak. This is the freshest cut you can get. Yea, you may seem like a dick to the butcher, but again, what does the quality of steak mean to you?

So those are my quick tips for buying a steak at the grocery store. Remember, you are not shopping for a steak for convenience. Take the time to do it the right way. And don’t be afraid to come off as a little bit of a dick. It’ll be worth it when you’re eating that delicious cut of red meat straight from the grill!

I have a 100-pound bag in my basement that I have set up in my workout area in my basement. I have a ton of weights, kettle bells, a bench, speed rope, ladder, power tower, a treadmill, and my man punching bag. Plenty of equipment to get the job done. I prefer to get my workouts done at home. It’s just a better environment where I’m not playing grabass or waiting for someone to finish with a piece of equipment. I get in, get it done, and get out. With that said, the punching bag is actually one of the pieces of equipment that I love the most. I have a pair of MMA gloves that I use. You might want to get a pair of boxing gloves if you want to work out with a heavy bag. Either way, you need something. If you try to hit a 100-pound heavy bag with your bare hands you won’t last very long.

Now one of my favorite workouts to do with the heavy bag is rounds. So I’ll do 10 seconds of each exercise. I start with the jab. 10 seconds. Then I’ll go to the cross. 10 seconds. Then I get in my hooks. Then my uppercuts. The whole time I am bouncing on my toes and shuffling my feet with the bag. After I do 10 seconds on each one I will do 10 combos. I will add a punch and do ten more. So I start with 10 jabs. Then I do 10 jab-cross combos. Then I do 10 jab-cross-hook combos. I go on and on until I’m done with all of my punches. That’s 1 round. Rest for 1 minute and start over. I do 3-5 rounds of that and I am sweating my kahunas off.

This is excellent after a good lift. It’s a tremendous replacement for your cardio, especially if you’re the type of guy that’s not into treadmill workouts. It will get your heart rate jacked way up and by doing rounds, you will be doing a little bit of an HIIT workout. HIIT, or high-intensity interval training, is where you bust your ass for a few minutes and then let your heart rate come all the way down before doing it over again. It is considered to be one of the best forms of exercise for you.

One of the most obvious benefits of having your own man punching bag is to have something to take out your frustrations on. Let’s face it. We are guys. We get pissed. There is no better feeling than to actually have something that is not only OK for you to beat the crap out of, it’s beneficial to you! I have two young daughters. Needless to say, I get quite stressed. There is no better release than strapping on the gloves and going to town. Having a bag in your house is an absolute must for any guy!

Ok…so here’s a funny story that just so happens to be true. I used to work at Yankee Candle. Now before you hit the back button on your browser and vote to revoke my man card and get the boot from Things Men Buy, allow me to explain. I worked there with two of my college lacrosse teammates and we were stock boys. We came in on the days that delivery trucks came, unloaded the trucks, and stocked the shelves. Now, if you still want to judge, I invite you to unload those damn boxes for 6 straight hours and lug them around. See how your back feels and how much you want to poke fun then! But one of the jokes that my buddies would love to pull whenever we were working was having absolutely anyone and everyone that had a question come up to me.

Now you can imagine, 99.9% of the questions you get in that store are “Can you tell me where XYZ candle is?”

And every single time their answer would be: “I’m not sure ma’am. I just started here. But you can ask that gentleman in the beard. He’d be happy to help you.” And they’d sit and laugh while I helped the customer out.

And it was not that hard to do. The candles are all categorized by color. We were in college, it wasn’t that tough to memorize where we put everything in the store. But they thought it was the funniest thing in the world.

Anyway, the experience I had as a Yankee employee gives me ample expertise to know a good candle when I see one. I actually wondered why there weren’t more manly scents at the store when I was there. I mean, the Memphis BBQ scent is genius! And when you think about it, it kind of makes sense. Not a lot of guys enjoy going into that store and getting smacked in the face with the plethora of smelly candles. It’s enough to give you a headache. These Man Can Manly Candles can be bought online and you don’t really need to smell them before you buy them to know the scent they will bring. They are smells that every man should be very familiar with and want to be engulfed in.

Imagine having your man cave always smelling like NY Style Pizza? Or a Campfire? Or cigars? These are scents that men cannot resist. And the fact that they come in a tin can makes it even better. It’s not about bright colors and clear, glass jars meant to fool you with trickery into thinking that they are fancier than they really are. These are full on manly candles. I can’t wait to get more in my house!

So, yea, call me names if you want to. Pick on me for working at Yankee Candle (believe me, I’ve heard it all). But I don’t mind having candles in my house or at my desk. Especially when they’re candles that have manly scents like Man Can Manly Candles.

The way to buy for a man is to know what category that particular man would enjoy the most. Let’s face it, not all men are handymen (this writer is a PRIME example). So buying the latest tool that does a zillion different things all in one might not be the best buy for that type of man. At the same time, you may not have a man that enjoys the hunting and fishing type of thing that a lot of others do. So in order to find the perfect gift for your man, you really need to know what your man likes. In other words, don’t go in looking for a specific thing. You’re liable to drive yourself batty doing that. Go looking for a specific category. There are cool things to buy a man in every category. The key is to hone in on them and go from there.

So if you are shopping for a tech nerd guy, you don’t want to go shopping at Bass Pro or Gander Mountain. You’re going to want to stop by an Apple store or a place like Brookstone. The stuff they have in that store is incredible! Especially for a tech geek. Now if your man is more of a redneck, outdoorsy type, that’s when you go into Gander Mountain or Bass Pro Shops. There are plenty of things in there that will win you brownie points with your hillbilly hunk of man.

For guys that are into sports, the obvious is any sporting good store. Also, what is their favorite team? I guarantee if you get them something with their favorite team on it, they will cherish it for life. I still use a Tampa Bay Buccaneers mug for my coffee every morning because my wife got it for me when we first started dating and I love it. Another great place is Lids. I go through hats more than I go through underwear. And I need a new hat every year because I am superstitious about my teams. So that is an excellent place to look for the sports fan.

So if you don’t want to do any legwork at all, here are some awesome gifts for men that you can pick up that will make you look like a rockstar:

Tech Geeks:

Amazon Fire Stick: This thing is legit. Load up apps and bring your entertainment anywhere you want with this bad boy. A must for any guy.

Sharkk Portable BlueTooth Speaker: This thing freaking rocks! I use it when I work out at home and constantly get yelled at to turn it down because this little guy packs such a wallop!

Anker Portable Charger: Let’s face it, everyone’s phones die. Especially tech geeks. They need a solid portable charger to keep their devices going. This is the best we’ve found.

Redneck Guys:

Nintendo Themed Flasks: These things are hilarious. Your guy will love you for this one, and get a ton of compliments from his friends!

Bug-a-Salt Fly Shooter: How much fun will your guy have with this thing?

PicoBrew Home Brewing Kit: He loves beer and nothing would make him more proud than to brew his own and have all his buddies tell him how great it is.

Jock or Sports Fan:

Under Armour: Anything Under Armour is a solid bet. Click here for an exclusive coupon!

Wireless Beats By Dre: If your guy works out at all, he needs these headphones. I kept hitting mine that had wires and unplugging them at least 3x a workout or run. These have been a godsend!

Golden Tee Home Edition: This is the ultimate gift for any man! It may also make him disappear and stay out of your hair for hours on end!

I am serious. I don’t know what it is about wings, but I am obsessed. They are the ultimate Achilles heel for me. I can’t turn them down. I love everything about them. From the crispy skin, the succulent chicken meat, right down to what makes them the best food ever brought upon the face of the Earth…Buffalo sauce.

Aside from a good beer made from my PicoBrew, it might very well be the nectar of the Gods. Buffalo sauce is exquisite when done right. With the right balance of kick and flavor, it can turn any meal into a guy’s gourmet masterpiece. But where did Buffalo sauce come from? I actually had to look it up. And what I found was pretty cool.

There have been hot sauces around going as far back as the early 1800s. In fact if you happen to find yourself thumbing through an old domestic magazine from the early 1800s (a normal Saturday for me), you may stumble across an ad for cayenne sauce. Tobasco Brand Pepper sauce started being sold in 1868 paving the road for many sauces to follow.

But the first Buffalo sauce actually coincides with the first chicken wing. On March 4, 1964 Dominic Bellissimo was tending bar at a place in Buffalo, NY called the Anchor Bar. Later in the evening a bunch of his buddies came into the bar and were hungry. Dominic asked his mother to cook them up something. She found the chicken pieces that were normally scrapped and only used to make chicken stock. She fried them up and coated them with a secret peppery sauce and served them to the boys. The crowd went wild and the Buffalo wing was born.

Now legend has it that the secret sauce that Teressa Bellissimo used was a combination using the popular pepper sauce: Frank’s Red Hot. At least that is what Frank’s claims. But there is not doubt that the original Buffalo sauce was invented along with the first ever chicken wings at the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, NY on March 4, 1964.

Since that time people have been creating different recipes of Buffalo sauce. All using some kind of pepper sauce as the base. Typically it is melted with butter. The more butter, the milder the sauce. You can also add other things to the sauce to spice it up and make it hotter. When I was in high school I worked at a local pizza shop. I had a buddy who would order our hot wings every week. He made the mistake of telling me our wings weren’t hot enough. The next time he ordered I loaded everything we had into the restaurant. I couldn’t even smell them they were so hot. He said he could only get two down before throwing in the towel.  

I have eaten wings at the Anchor Bar and I have to admit, they are pretty good. But for my money, there is a rival of the Anchor that has even better wings. Of course I’m talking about Duff’s. People from Western New York will fight tooth and nail over whose wings are better, but I have to side with Duff’s. They are the best wings I’ve ever had in my life. If you like chicken wings (and if you’re a guy, there’s no reason you wouldn’t) then you have to try both Anchor wings and Duff’s wings and decide for yourself!

Where have you had your best wings or hot sauce? Comment below and let me know!
