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...
One of the most in-demand speakers in 2010 on behalf of the science supporting high-fat, low-carb living isn’t a medical doctor, cardiologist, nutritionist, or even a medical professional at all. It’s a science journalist named Gary Taubes who has transformed his love for good scientific truth into a personal crusade to impart [...]

True grievance or flagrant publicity stunt? Lawyers are revving their engines as domestic diva Martha Stewart is rumored to be sued by Vampire Vineyards for what the gossip rags quote "to disparage and tarnish [Vampire's] wine brands by portraying a mock label of Vampire Vineyards affixed to cheap, non-descript wine and spirits products."
Furthermore, and not necessarily quoted from a reliable source, the rumors suggest that the lawsuit also alleges that Stewart is engaging in this "smear ca...
When I first started this site back in 1996, I didn’t even know that ramen shops existed. Now they are in every major city in the US. The town I live in only has about 120,000 people and has no ramen shop. Have you guys ever been to one?
Real food is making a huge comeback in 2010 as more and more people are beginning to realize the quality of what is being labeled as “food” in their local grocery store is not even remotely close to resembling anything our grandparents would recognize as ways to nourish our bodies. Thanks to films like [...]

And the Stupidity Continues:
Last month, at Tales of the Cocktail, a week-long convention for the spirits industry in New Orleans, Eben Freeman, best known as the creator of smoked Coke and "solid" cocktails at the now-defunct Tailor in Manhattan's SoHo neighborhood, gave a seminar on protecting one's intellectual property as a bartender.

And if there's one thing this disparate group of city folk can agree on, it's that White Castle sucks.
The battle for best burger was a little more subjective. Whi...
