What You Need to Know About California’s New Composting Law — A Game Changer for Food Waste

What You Need to Know About California’s New Composting Law — A Game Changer for Food Waste

Foodie,
By Mike Pomranz | FoodAndWine.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Foodie First approved in 2016, these mandatory statewide organic waste collection rules have been over five years in the making. In 2022, residents in America's largest state will begin seeing major changes to how their waste is collected: Originally passed in 2016, California Senate Bill 1383 officially takes effect on January 1 – which will eventually require everyone in the state to separate organic and compostable waste from the rest of their garbage. As the Los Angeles Times explains, the new rules won't necessarily go into effect overnight: Start times vary based on the region and other factors,…

Your Love of Caffeine May Be the Reason You Like Your Coffee Black

Your Love of Caffeine May Be the Reason You Like Your Coffee Black

Foodie, ,
By Mike Pomranz | FoodAndWine.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Foodie New research found that a natural inclination to caffeine was more important than taste when choosing how to drink coffee. Scientists have long known that genetics help determine a preference or distaste for bitter foods. Scientists have also learned that genetics can determine how quickly our bodies process caffeine – causing some people to crave more of the stimulant  than others. But a new study has found that when people drink their coffee black, it may be the caffeine more so than the flavor their after. The research – led by Marilyn Cornelis, an associate…

Betty White Says the Key to Her Diet Is ‘to Avoid Anything Green’

Betty White Says the Key to Her Diet Is ‘to Avoid Anything Green’

Foodie,
By Mike Pomranz | FoodAndWine.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Foodie The actress turns 100 next month. Here's a tip for all you soon-to-be-centenarians out there: If you want to make headlines, have a good answer locked and loaded for the secret to your longevity. Not something boring like love and happiness; something wild and fun. Examples that have worked in the past: a daily Guinness, Hershey's chocolate, and Johnnie Walker. (Another tip: Plugging a specific brand is a good way to get free stuff!) Of course, Betty White – who turns 100 on January 17 – doesn't need any help making headlines. And clearly, the lifelong actress…

New York City Is Facing a Holiday Cream Cheese Shortage

New York City Is Facing a Holiday Cream Cheese Shortage

Foodie,
By Mike Pomranz | FoodAndWine.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Foodie Kraft says sales of Philadelphia are up significantly from last year. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, we've seen no shortage of shortages. Halloween came with a pumpkin shortage. Thanksgiving had a turkey shortage. And good luck drinking away your sorrows: Both the beer and wine industry are dealing with shortages, too. At a time when literal maple syrup reserves are being tapped, even oddly specific items are not exempt from being in short supply — so it's actually not surprising at all that New York City is facing a cream cheese shortage. Last month, New Yorkers were…

Is Olive Garden Ending the Never Ending Pasta Bowl?

Is Olive Garden Ending the Never Ending Pasta Bowl?

Foodie,
By Jelisa Castrodale | FoodAndWine.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Foodie The promotional deal hasn't been on the menu since 2019. In 1995, Olive Garden launched a then-unique promotion, offering its customers the chance to eat as much pasta, salad, and breadsticks as they wanted in one sitting by paying $6.95 for the "Never Ending Pasta Bowl." The Never Ending Pasta Bowl periodically came and went from Olive Garden's menu until 2019, which was the last time the chain offered the promo. At that time, the Never Ending deal cost a still-pretty-reasonable $10.99 per person.  But, much like landline phones and thirtysomethings who can…

TikTok Announces Plans to Open a Delivery-Only Restaurant Concept

Foodie, ,
By Jelisa Castrodale | FoodAndWine.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Foodie The ghost kitchens would bring some of the app's viral recipes straight to your door. Earlier this year, YouTube and TikTok star Larray announced that he would be opening his own virtual restaurant brand, Larray's Loaded Mac.

Taco Bell Is Putting Crispy Chicken Wings on the Menu Next Year

Taco Bell Is Putting Crispy Chicken Wings on the Menu Next Year

Foodie, ,
By Jelisa Castrodale | FoodAndWine.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Foodie And yes, we asked them about bringing back the Mexican Pizza. Last week, popular food blogger Markie Devo ignited the internet when he posted that Taco Bell's Mexican Pizza would make its triumphant return in "April or May 2022." The iconic item was removed from the menu in November 2020, along with a dozen other items, including Shredded Chicken Soft Tacos, Shredded Chicken Quesadilla Melts, and pico de gallo. But nothing hit harder than the loss of the Mexican Pizza. A petition was quickly launched, and more than 170,000 people hoped that adding their signatures might be…

Yes, Candy Canes Are Also Harder to Find This Year

Yes, Candy Canes Are Also Harder to Find This Year

Foodie,
By Jelisa Castrodale | FoodAndWine.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Foodie The classic Christmas confection is in shorter supply thanks, in part, to a fungus that's killing peppermint crops. If you wanted to get all of the items that were on your holiday grocery list, it seems like you needed to get an early start this year. And by "an early start," we mean that you should've stocked up in March. In the past few weeks, there have been reports of a cream cheese shortage — to the point that Philadelphia offered $20 to anyone who was willing to skip the Christmas cheesecake — and stores…
