Lay’s Grew Potatoes with Dirt from 29 NFL Stadiums and Turned Them into Chips

Lay’s Grew Potatoes with Dirt from 29 NFL Stadiums and Turned Them into Chips

Foodie, ,
By Mike Pomranz | FoodAndWine.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Foodie The logo on each bag matches the NFL team that contributed soil to help make the chips. While you bombard your taste buds with the heavenly delights of oil and salt, it can be easy to forget that potato chips begin life as an actual vegetable, reared from earthen soil. As one of the world's top processors of potatoes, Lay's certainly hasn't forgotten the connection between spud and snack — but how can they hammer it home with consumers? Oddly enough, they've found the answer with football. To celebrate Lay's…

Goldfish Now Makes Bigger Crackers Specifically for Adults

Goldfish Now Makes Bigger Crackers Specifically for Adults

Foodie,
By Mike Pomranz | FoodAndWine.ComTroy Warren for CNT #FoodieGoldfish Mega Bites are 50-percent larger and offer bolder flavors than the regular fish-shaped crackers.Goldfish — the classic crackers made by Pepperidge Farm — are a perfect kids' snack: tiny for small fingers and mouths plus delightfully fish-shaped because... well, animals are just super cool. We've certainly popped plenty of handfuls as well (in 2018, we even ranked every Goldfish flavor), and yet, Goldfish hasn't quite garnered as much adult cred as, say, Cheez-It, which has landed wine pairings and celebrity chef obsessions.So for 2022, Goldfish is swimming out of the kiddie…

106-Year-Old Philadelphia Woman Is a Big Fan of Big Macs

106-Year-Old Philadelphia Woman Is a Big Fan of Big Macs

Foodie
By Jelisa Castrodale | FoodAndWine.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Foodie Whether her post-church McDonald's trips are the secret to her longevity is up for debate. We're still early enough in this New Year that we're all making adjustments to our daily routines in that vague annual attempt to "better ourselves." But according to one South Philadelphia centenarian, the secret to a long and healthy life could be… having a regular Big Mac.  Dorothy Nedd celebrated her 106th birthday on Friday, which means she was born the same year as children's author Roald Dahl, iconic newscaster Walter Cronkite, and molecular biologist Francis…

Ground Beef Recalled Due to Possible E. coli Contamination—Here’s Which Products Are Affected

Ground Beef Recalled Due to Possible E. coli Contamination—Here’s Which Products Are Affected

Foodie
By  Korin Miller | FoodAndWine.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Foodie More than 28,000 pounds of ground beef from store brands like like WinCo, Albertsons, and Walmart have been recalled. It's a good idea to check that ground beef that's hanging out in your fridge or freezer: The US Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service announced a recall yesterday on 28,356 pounds of ground beef. That's because the beef may be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7, a strain of the bacterium Escherichia coli that can lead to serious illness. Interstate Meat Dist. Inc.—the company issuing the recall—produced the impacted raw, ground beef on December 20,…

KFC Is Putting Plant-Based Beyond Fried Chicken on the Menu Nationwide

KFC Is Putting Plant-Based Beyond Fried Chicken on the Menu Nationwide

Foodie, ,
By  Mike Pomranz | FoodAndWine.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Foodie First tested in 2019, this collaboration between KFC and Beyond Meat has been over two years in the making. Think the plant-based meat trend may have already peaked? We're just five days into 2022 and already have plenty of reasons to think again. On Monday, Chipotle Mexican Grill announced they were expanding their plant-based chorizo nationwide after a successful test market run in 2021. Now, just two days later, another big chain has another big vegetarian announcement: On January 10, KFC will be bringing their Beyond Fried Chicken nationwide for the first time.…

Martha Stewart’s ‘Immersive’ Las Vegas Restaurant Set to Open This Spring

Martha Stewart’s ‘Immersive’ Las Vegas Restaurant Set to Open This Spring

Foodie,
By Mike Pomranz | FoodAndWine.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Foodie Back in October, news broke that Martha Stewart was planning to open a restaurant in Las Vegas, but the details were extremely slim. Far from an official announcement, the confirmation came from paperwork for a construction permit at the Paris Las Vegas hotel, leaving more questions than answers. But today, the answers are here. Paris owners Caesars Entertainment has officially announced the project, sharing previously unknown, not-so-small details like the name and timeline. Slated to open this spring, The Bedford by Martha Stewart is described as "a fully-immersive restaurant concept designed to bring…

Little Caesars Just Raised the Price of a Hot-N-Ready Pizza for the First Time Ever

Little Caesars Just Raised the Price of a Hot-N-Ready Pizza for the First Time Ever

Foodie,
By Mike Pomranz | FoodAndWine.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Foodie The improved pie includes more pepperoni, but it won't be five bucks anymore. Pandemic-induced inflation has increased the price of nearly everything, and pizza is no exception. Back in November, we covered the sad reality that New York City's iconic dollar pizza joints were forced to jack up the price of their $1 slices. Now, a national pizza chain known for its value has also made some tweaks: Little Caesars' standard Hot-N-Ready pizzas no longer cost $5. In an announcement yesterday, Little Caesars touted its "new and improved" Hot-N-Ready Classic Pepperoni pizza, now…

Chipotle Adds Plant-Based Chorizo Nationwide

Foodie,
Troy Warren for CNT #Foodie It's the brand's first new meat-free protein option in eight years. For any vegans, vegetarians, or flexitarians worried that 2022 might be the year the plant-based meat trend finally slowed down, well, we're just one weekday into the year and one of America's most popular chains already has a big announcement: Chipotle Mexican Grill is taking plant-based chorizo nationwide. The burrito chain first began testing this vegan chorizo option in August, looking to add a slightly more modern plant-based choice alongside their tofu-based sofritas that was added in 2014.
