Canadian Debut

Muskoka
The Mayo Conspiracy will be making its Canadian debut at the Muskoka Independent Film Festival on August 29th. Showtime is 9:45 pm. The festival is located in the quaint resort village of Rosseau at the top of Muskoka, where it's not uncommon for movie stars, hockey players or captains of industry to pass by you on the street unnoticed. Looking forward to getting our film in front of an Ontario audience and exposing the evil inner workings of the Mayonnaise Cartel to our northern neighbor.

Now that our film is playing festivals around the country, or make that around the world, the easiest way to follow our future destinations and showings is to like our facebook page.  We recently surpassed 1,000 fans but now our goal is to double

Celebrate Mexico Independence from France (and their condiment)

Since May 5th is just around the corner, we have some great recipes to help you celebrate the international holiday, Stinko de Mayo. Established in 1988 by national award-winning newspaper columnist , Charles Memminger, Stinko de Mayo has become a rallying cry for those of us practicing a mayonnaise-free lifestyle. Although still not quite as popular as it's sister holiday, Cinco de Mayo,

The Mayo Conspiracy received an official nomination in the Depth of Field International Film Festival and will be competing against 4 other nominated films in the festival's comedy category. Winning films will be announced at the end of the month so we are keeping our fingers crossed. We finally reached our "final cut", guided by all of the great feedback we received from our local showings in the Philly area and thus, started the process of sending out the film to festivals throughout the country. Being named a finalist in this online festival, competing against submissions throughout the world, was a nice way to kick-start that process. The film was also named an official screenplay selection at last month's Houston Comedy Film Festival. Hopefully, the Mayo Conspiracy will soon be coming to

The Mayo Conspiracy showcases the real-life history of mayonnaise in American culture through a fictionalized prism, where the condiment’s seedy underbelly is

There’s Something About Hoagies

One could say that Jon Waxman was destined to become a Head Hoagie Honcho in the Philadelphia area, growing up within walking distance from what many experts believe to be the finest Hoagie joint in the Delaware Valley, the original Lee’s Hoagie House in the historic Mt. Airy section of the city. Self-described as “never being much of a brown-bagger,” a Lee’s Hoagie was always a stone’s throw away and thus, Waxman’s “go-to” sandwich for school lunches and field trips. (Rumor has it that the mere presence of a Lee’s Hoagie could make the school cafeteria’s Salisbury Steak turn green with envy) Lee’s Hoagie House has since grown to a chain of 17 restaurants, winning several "Best of Philly" awards along the way. And guess who is now the proud owner of two of those 17 franchises…… Jon Waxman. But more on him in a bit. First, for our non-Philly readers, let’s have a quick crash course on Hoagies 101. It was made the official sandwich of Philadelphia back in 1992, on
