For Ukraine's wartime New Year, patriotism is on the menu - Yahoo Singapore News

Image
There are two items that have long been fixtures on Tetyana Mytrofanova's New Year's Eve menu: shuba, a salad of pickled herring and root vegetables; and a potato salad known as Olivier. But their status as classic Russian dishes has made them unpalatable in wartime, forcing Mytrofanova and other Kyiv restaurateurs to find alternatives for one of the year's most festive holidays. "We have to turn the page," the 58-year-old said from a booth at Chasing Two Hares, her eatery cum live music venue, which hosts a raucous party every December 31. "What is happening in our country now affects our relationship with the world, and we have to be modern." Food has been a front in the conflict between Ukraine and Russia since well before Moscow's invasion began in February. In 2020, amid fighting in the eastern Donbas region, the two sides exchanged stern words when Kyiv pushed to have borscht –- the traditional beetroot and cabbage soup -– re...

Menu labels encourage people to eat less red meat, study says - WMTV – NBC15

Image
(CNN) – A new study suggests adding climate impact information to menus may encourage people to eat more climate-friendly foods. The medical journal JAMA published the study Tuesday. More than 5,000 adults participated in randomized clinical trials where researchers asked them to pick an item from one of three menus. Two of the menus had high climate impact labels. Researchers found people were more likely to opt for a more sustainable meal with the labels. They said red labels were the most effective, compared with green. Copyright 2022 CNN Newsource.

The Cheesecake Factory’s legendary menu, explained - Vox.com

Image
The Cheesecake Factory menu is over 20 pages long and contains 250 items. The menu was seemingly written by someone who was hungry for everything they could think of but couldn’t name what they actually wanted at that moment. The dishes, mostly sandwiches and pastas and of course cheesecakes, all have names and descriptions. Occasionally, a female first name precedes the actual dish, indicating a personal endorsement for a fresh turkey sandwich or chicken and avocado salad from a “Sheila” or a “Renee” you’ve never met. The burgers are not hamburgers but Glamburgers. Getting shrimp scampi along with the steak Diane is known as a “Factory Combination.” There’s something uncanny about the chain. The very combination of words “The Cheesecake Factory” evokes the idea of a humble, blue-collar dessert diner, yet every Cheesecake Factory looks like what would happen if a time-traveling Italian artisan drew Ancient Egypt from memory. Somewhere between the chicken samosas, the Skinnylicious sec...

These San Francisco Bars Upgraded Their Food Menus - Eater SF

Image
Certain bars have thoughtfully crafted cocktails, but try to get by with one deep fryer for a few basic food offerings. Fair enough. There’s no rule bars have to pour extra money and resources into hiring a head chef and serving a full menu (at least not anymore ). And yet, to the delight of drinkers, several local watering holes have been leveling up their food offerings of late. It’s nice to see a new round of neighborhood bars investing in talented chefs and full menus. These days, it’s possible to belly up to a sweet glazed pumpkin salad, a serious crab sandwich, and the finest fish and chips these hills may have ever seen. So snag a stool — here’s where to eat at the bar right now in San Francisco. Mike Sanchez Cole Valley Tavern opened somewhat sleepily in April 2022, taking over the former Kezar Bar & Restaurant space with its Streamline Moderne window wrapping the corner of Cole and Carl.
