I really like Amy's Organic Beans & Rice Burrito, but as a non-vegetarian, I like to eat meat too. A lot of burritos are very large and calorie dense, so I'm pretty aggressive about analyzing nutrition labels on burritos. For...

Long before we gulped down something called sangria, sangaree was a favorite tipple -- made with wine, spirit, or beer diluted with water, sweetened with sugar, and spiced with nutmeg. Sangria could have easily evolved from sangaree.
The English loved their Bordeaux, which they often referred to as claret, and a claret cup punch (red wine, lemon, sugar, and sparkling water) traveled with them as they influenced the world. This punch someti...

Wine, fast food, beer, a heavy meal: all things that make you crash right to sleep, right? New research shows that though these foods may help you fall asleep, they don't actually make your sleep any more restful.
Washington Post columnist Jennifer LaRue Huget recently wondered if there were some magic food to solve sleep problems but found that it was more plausible to define which foods actually hinder sleep.
As it...

Chef Danny Boome -- host of Food Network's Rescue Chef -- has found a way to combine America's passion for food with the dating scene (and it goes beyond the traditional dinner and a movie): a concept called " Speed Plating," bringing together good food and four dates in one night.
"As a young bachelor, I've had a lot of experiences in the dating world," Boome tells Slashfood. "But speed dating events can get a ...

For those who like their kitsch with a bit of a crunch, we give you: Rachael Ray in Cheetos.
In case you missed it, Wednesday's episode of Ray's show marked the unveiling of a larger-than-life-size portrait of the Emmy-winning celebrity chef made entirely from the trademarked cheese puffs. The picture was the handiwork of Colorado Springs-based artist Jason Baalman, whose artistic oeuvre also includes velvet portraits of Elvis done in cheese...

In many corners of the country it's fair-going time, and you know what that means: whiplash-inducing rides, cheap stuffed animal prizes, and oh yeah, food. Lots of food, mostly the kind you rarely let yourself indulge in -- cotton candy, for example, or (kill me now) fried dough. If you're going to schlep your way to the fairgrounds and bump elbows with everyone else in the county, you're going to want your yearly fix of the bad (but...

The above statement -- as spoken by our favorite frizz-haired sass-factory, Andrea -- may indeed be true. But there sure as hell is a lot of whining at the stoves lately.
If it's not Angelo breathlessly "stressing" over how he can't rest on his laurels -- another Quickfire Challenge won, another $20 grand to go with it -- it's Kelly complaining about Amanda's skills. It's Amanda bitching about Kelly not loaning her some ...

Hot days, white cotton dresses, ice cream, and strawberries are forever laced in my memory of childhood summers, when I'd go with my grandmother to her church's ice-cream social. And when I spotted blogger fakeginger's strawberry-cheesecake ice cream, it got me thinking: Whatever happened to the ice-cream social, that vaguely Victorian ritual of summer?
Turns out, socials are happening all over the country, with neighbors in L...
A perusal of the menu at Weary Traveler does not inspire confidence in the place's ability to make a burger. Options like Tom Ka Tofu, Hungarian goulash, and vegan chili are not ones I have typically found in my favorite burger joints. But one step inside and it's clear the place offers the kind of comfort that would make anyone welcome and inspires confidence in the burger.
Talk of selling wine in grocery stores has been going on for a while, with Governor Paterson supporting the move as a means to raise revenue for our depleted deficit. Liquor stores may not be behind his bill, but who else amongst us doesn't want the convenience of stocking up on Franzia when loading up the shopping cart? Besides, Fresh Direct and 35 other states are happy to serve up wine with your groceries. Well, according to the Daily Politics, advocates for the sale of...
(Brownstoner) Part of living in a city with a respectable number of tolerant, non-discriminating establishments is learning how to say goodbye to them. The Starlite Lounge, a somewhat incongruously-located gay bar, has been a fixture in Crown Heights since the 1960s. After months of rumors, its closure was confirmed by Brownstoner, with the bar's last day set at July 31st.
After the building came under new ownership at the end of last year, many feared the lo...
The 60/40 beef Kenji uses in his In-N-Out Double Double Animal Style recipe, while delicious, may be a bit much for regular burger making. What lean-to-fat ratio in ground beef do you prefer when making burgers at home? [Photograph: iLoveButter on Flickr]
