Here's some food for thought for today...
- Aw shucks. A PEI oyster shucking champ gives his impressions of New York City while there to help set up an oyster bar.
- Rating website Yelp will allow business owners such as restaurateurs to publicly respond to unfavourable reviews.
- The lowdown on agave nectar.
- Those who can't write, cook. As food writers everywhere lose their jobs in the recession, some of them are finding new experiences in other parts of the restaurant, like the kitchen.
- No tofu 4 U - the Department of Motor Vehicles in Denver, Colorado won't allow the word "tofu" to be used in vanity license plates because someone could take it to mean "to fuck you".
- Everyone around the world is intrigued by the White House vegetable garden, but it's not a fancy endeavour. The price tag for the first planting - $200.
- And finally, a reminder of how much it can suck to work retail. Stupid ice cream shop FAQs.
