Doritos Releases New Flamin’ Hot Cool Ranch Chips

Doritos Releases New Flamin’ Hot Cool Ranch Chips

Foodie, ,
By Adam Campbell-Schmitt | FoodAndWine.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Foodie Wait, isn't that an oxymoron? If you reached your convenience store snacking peak back in the 1980s and '90s, you'll know there is no cooler chip than Cool Ranch Doritos. But the kids of today aren't satisfied with "cool" anymore. They want hot — Flamin' Hot, to be exact. The fiery red powder has been dusted on everything from Cheetos to bagels and even infused into ice cream and Mountain Dew. It's nothing short of a flavor phenomenon. But instead of fanning the flames of a generational war between millennials and zoomers, Frito-Lay may have found a way for…

Foodie,
By Cailey Rizzo | FoodAndWine.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Foodie Even the stones on the tracks are made from chocolate.

Impossible Foods Opened a Delivery-Only, Plant-Based Burger Chain

Foodie, ,
By Mike Pomranz | FoodAndWine.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Foodie The new ghost kitchens are operating out of Dog Haus restaurants across eight states. Plant-based meat giant Impossible Foods — best known for their Impossible Burger — has launched its own chain of fast food restaurants… kind of. Using a modern method favored by everyone from Applebee's to Guy Fieri, Impossible's new delivery-only restaurant will operate as ghost kitchens, namely, working out of the Dog Haus hot dog chain. Launched last week in nearly 40 locations across eight states nationwide, "The Impossible Shop" is available on delivery platforms including DoorDash, Postmates, Uber Eats, and Grubhub. Worth noting, not all Dog Haus…

Study Explains Why We Eat the Same Breakfast All The Time

Study Explains Why We Eat the Same Breakfast All The Time

Foodie,
By Jelisa Castrodale | FoodAndWine.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Foodie If you're anything like me, then you probably eat the exact same thing for breakfast every morning. (And if you're anything like me, you haven't started your holiday shopping and you also have a mountain of laundry to deal with.) Anyway, it turns out that most of us tend to select the same breakfast options several times a week, and a recent study has attempted to explain why. In the paper, which was published in the journal Appetite, Dr. Romain Cadario of Erasmus University Rotterdam and Dr. Carey Morewedge of the Questrom School of…

There May Not Be Real Maple in Your Syrup — Here’s How to Know

There May Not Be Real Maple in Your Syrup — Here’s How to Know

Foodie,
By Sarra Sedghi | FoodAndWine.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Foodie That "pancake syrup" could be a fraud. Whether it's a bottle of Mrs. Butterworth's or Maple Grove, pancake syrup brings a lot of saccharine flavor to the kitchen. Using it as an ingredient or a marinade rather than simply a pancake topper is all it takes to make a bottle of syrup the unsung hero of your kitchen.  But unless that bottle says "pure maple syrup," it probably doesn't contain any real maple at all. That's right — most syrups in the breakfast aisle do not, in fact, contain any maple…

The Price of Dining Out — and Dining In — Jumped More This Year Than It Has Since 1982

The Price of Dining Out — and Dining In — Jumped More This Year Than It Has Since 1982

Foodie
By Mike Pomranz | FoodAndWine.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Foodie According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, groceries have grown significantly more expensive in the past 12 months, with meat products leading the pack. Inflation has been a common topic as the fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic has made all sorts of things more expensive from snacks to slices of pizza. But in case you wanted additional confirmation, on Friday, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics released the monthly Consumer Price Index Summary — and, yes, the increase in prices has been historically bad, especially for food. Overall, the "all items" index — which takes into…

These Chain Restaurants Are Open on Christmas Day 2021

Foodie,
By Bailey Fink | FoodAndWine.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Foodie Whether you need a last-minute pie or a fully involved Christmas dinner, these restaurants are still serving up meals on Christmas Day. Have you ever watched a Christmas movie or series episode and wondered if the restaurants the characters are eating at are actually open on Christmas Day? You know, what if there's a Santa Clause-level turkey disaster and you have to head to Denny's? Or maybe you seriously just don't want to cook this Christmas (we understand that feeling too). While some of your favorite chain restaurants may be closed this Christmas, there are…

Nearly Half of Americans Double Dip at Parties, Survey Finds

Nearly Half of Americans Double Dip at Parties, Survey Finds

Foodie
By Jennifer Aldrich | BHG.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Foodie The other biggest blunders include talking with a full mouth and touching food and putting it back. After holiday plans were canceled in 2020 due to COVID-19,  many people are gathering again (thanks to health safety measures such as vaccines and face masks) to sit down with loved ones and eat delicious food. Although the mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie are sure to be as tasty as ever this Thanksgiving, there is a downside to turkey day. Most people admit to committing at least one food-related party foul, according to a survey published in November 2019. Wakefield Research conducted the survey for California-based…
