Tacos and Hush Puppies from Dark Shark Tacos

Canned Water

I won a whole case of Liquid Death from playing Music Bingo. What is Liquid Death? It is canned water with packaging that has heavy metal vibes while also being environmentally conscious. On the can it reads “average aluminum can is made up of 70 percent recycled aluminum while the average plastic bottle contains only 3 percent”. I like it.

Update From The FDA

Do you remember back last spring when people reported getting sick from eating Lucky Charms? Well, the FDA investigated and the department said it found no pathogen or cause behind 558 self-reported cases of illness.

Hooked On Uber Eats

I met Margaret Dodge years ago via the stand-up comedy scene in New York. Now, she lives in Los Angeles and she wrote a fascinating piece for Salon about driving for Uber Eats. It is a reminder that the gamification inherent in many tech startups can be addictive.

Sweet Caroline

I met pastry chef Caroline Schiff twice in one day. First, I met her at Cherry Bombe Jubilee. Then I saw her that same evening at Gage & Tollner. She has a cookbook, The Sweet Side of Sourdough and she was just named one of the best new chefs by Food and Wine magazine.

Japanese Candy Is America’s Future

If you ever had a Matcha Kit Kat or Pocky sticks, then you know that Japanese candy is popular. The Takeout writes about how Japanese candy is America’s future.

Last week, I asked if you prefer waffles over pancakes. All the votes were for waffles. It’s funny to me because I have been thinking about buying a waffle maker. This week’s poll may cause more of a debate.
