Hellmann’s Suggests Putting Mayonnaise in Eggnog
It’s a question I ask myself every Christmas season: What exactly is a “nog”? Most dictionaries define it as a shortened version of “eggnog.” But how much egg do you really need to make it a full-blown “nog”? According to Hellmann’s, you need however much egg is in its mayonnaise.
Yes, egg is the only third ingredient in Hellmann’s mayonnaise, behind oil and water. However, America’s best-selling mayo still believes that’s plenty of egg to give you a perfectly acceptable nog — and it’s created its own mayo-nog to prove it.
Working in collaboration with mixologist Cody Goldstein (of hospitality company Muddling Memories), Hellmann’s created the Frozen Mayo-nog & Snickerdoodle Mayo Cookie, billed as “an unexpected new cocktail and dessert pairing” and said to be “inspired by the classic holiday tradition of milk and cookies.”
As the name implies, the Frozen Mayo-nog completely swaps out the egg for mayo, mixing dark rum, apple brandy, whole milk, heavy cream, simple syrup, vanilla, nutmeg, and cinnamon with a quarter-cup of Hellmann’s mayonnaise per three -serving batches. Toss it all into a blender and blend until smooth to reach boozy mayo heaven.

If you want to try the Frozen Mayo-nog exactly as Goldstein intended, you’ll have to head to Amy Fontaine’s in New York City from now until December 15, as it’s the only place serving it. A single glass (which can also be made in a non-alcoholic version) will set you back $16, or you can grab it paired with Snickerdoodle Mayo Cookies (including a mayo glaze) for $24.
Not willing to travel all the way to Midtown Manhattan for a glass of Hellmann’s nog? Don’t fret. The recipe is also available on the Mudding Memories Instagram page.
Hellmann’s says the project is intended to “highlight the versatility of Hellmann’s Mayonnaise and encourage everyone to get creative in the kitchen this holiday season” — even with cocktails. But if you do get wild with your mayonnaise creations, maybe just color your taste testers first.
Hellmann’s isn’t the first brand to get creative with nogs for the holidays. Earlier this year, Kellogg’s partnered on a waffle-inspired Eggo Nog. And last year, Hidden Valley raised plenty of eyebrows with the release of their RanchNog kit. But maybe this is just a three-way nog battle waiting to happen at your house on Christmas Eve.
Starbucks barista calls out customer’s syrup-heavy drink order
A Starbucks barista puts a customer on TikTok blast for requesting a beverage mainly consisting of syrups, and viewers are equally baffled.
A TikToker who goes by the username Angry Barista (@angry_barista) claims to be a barista and 10-year shift supervisor at Starbucks. The Angry Barista frequently shares videos featuring a variety of bizarre orders from customers. However, one of their more recent TikTok posts is giving viewers a secondhand sugar high.
The clip opens with the on-screen text, “Tell me you don’t like coffee by not telling me you don’t like coffee,” before cutting to a shot of a grande-sized Starbucks cup filled almost halfway with syrup.
Breaking down the beverage’s recipe measurement by measurement, the barista first fills a grande-sized cup with six pumps of vanilla syrup, seven pumps of caramel, eight pumps of toffee nut, seven pumps of white mocha and a drizzle of apple and cinnamon dolce.
The barista explains that the space between the second and third lines equals the standard amount of cold brew poured, but since the customer requested a light amount of ice, they’d add more.
However, the barista said, “that wouldn’t even make a difference with the amount of syrup in this cup.” Finally, the light ice and salted cold foam complete the drink.
“That would give me a headache from one sip.”
The clip alone practically gave viewers a toothache.
“That would give me a headache from one sip,” one user commented.
“This reminds me of [when] a woman came in and ordered a grande green tea with 30 pumps of liquid sugar and complained she couldn’t taste the tea,” recalled one barista.
“This made my teeth hurt,” one viewer joked.
Based on this drink order, some people prefer a sugar rush to a caffeine boost.

Dogue offers a gourmet menu with fresh, healthy food for your four-legged friend
SAN FRANCISCO (KPIX) — When Rahmi Massarweh graduated from Le Cordon Bleu, one of the most prestigious culinary schools in the world, he envisioned owning a high-end restaurant serving the most sophisticated palates.
His dream came true, even though his customers were connoisseurs of a different breed.
“If you would have asked me back then, ‘So when’s your dog cafe opening?’ I would have looked at you like, ‘What are you talking about? that’s a huge insult.'”
Welcome to Dogue (which rhymes with “Vogue”), a new French-style cafe in The Mission district, exclusively dedicated to the four-legged.
“It’s about healthy, good, real food,” Massarweh said. “The presentation is a vehicle to help shine a line on that.”
This isn’t Puppy Chow. It’s a three-course prix fixe meal at a very human price of $75 per customer on a Sunday brunch (customers can order à la carte on any other day).
On this Sunday, Massarweh was adding a 24-karat gold leaf to his gourmet pastry. And that was just the beginning.
“We’re doing a chicken and Chaga mushroom soup, and then we have a chicken skin waffle and charcoal flan, and our final course is steak tartare,” Massarweh said.
It all started when Masarweh and his wife Alejandra noticed their beloved rescue, a huge Mastiff named Grizzly, wasn’t eating his dry food. So, Massarweh did a little digging and started preparing fresh meals that easily rival top restaurants along the Champs-Élysées.
It’s already attracting an enthusiastic clientele. Cory and Bacon, two adorable Corgis wearing bow ties, flew in from out of town with their humans just to get a taste.
“They are our kids, we don’t have human children,” said Bacon’s mom, Ginger Sirlin. “We take them everywhere.”
Not everyone is going to fail over doggie gourmet. Critics have expressed outrage over high-priced pet meals as thousands go hungry in the Bay Area. But Massarweh said they’re missing the point.
“It’s difficult to verbalize just how much our animals mean to us,” he said. “I would do anything for them and if there’s any way that I can buy some time and make their lives happier or extend their lives by just one day I’ll do it.”
