My Week In Food
I had some chimichangas. I ate churros. I had a brisket sandwich. I drank a Nutrl, which is a vodka seltzer made with real juice. It is not a malt liquor seltzer, so you may want to try it. It is an Anheuser-Busch product, so you will see Nutrl everywhere this summer.
Two Recipes That Take The Cake
Let’s Move To Drink Less Sugar
Michelle Obama is expanding into the food and beverage space. Michelle Obama is co-founding Plezi Nutrition, a company focusing on healthier food and beverage products for children. The company is prioritizing reducing sugar content and lowering sweetness while adding in the nutrients kids need, all with the goal of replacing sugar-laden drinks and snacks.
Pack A Picnic Cocktail
Make a Spaghett, AKA a Nascar Negroni with Aperol, Miller High Life and lemon juice. This is perfect for picnics.
We Are Losing Our Third Place
Fast food restaurants like McDonalds and Starbucks have long been a third place for people. A third place is where people gather that is neither home nor work. Third places have long been where people build communities. However, that has changed since the pandemic. This is a problem because communities are where people can share experience and build relationships.
People are not dining inside fast food restaurants. Last year, 85 percent of fast food restaurant orders were to-go, according to data from NPD. Drive-thrus are busier than ever, with roughly three-quarters of orders being placed at a drive-thru.
