FoodieFoodie, WorldsLargestVeganBurger

By Mike Pomranz | FoodAndWine.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Foodie The 4-foot-wide burger also used over 15 pounds of vegan cheese. The world's appetite for veggie burgers has undeniably grown in recent years. Beyond Meat and Impossible Burger engaged in a plant-based burger arms race. Seeing the emerging market, tons of other brands jumped in on the action. And slowly, seemingly every major burger chain rolled out a vegetarian option, most recently culminating with McDonald's. But while some may wonder if the world's hunger for plant-based burgers may be satiated, a company in Northern Ireland took a stab at filling the biggest vegan appetite…

FoodieFoodie, Publix, SupplyChain

By Mike Pomranz | FoodAndWine.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Foodie Publix is putting a cap on the number of some seasonal items that customers can buy as Christmas nears. Supply chain issues — and the often inevitable shortages that follow — have been widely reported for all sorts of products in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. And from there, increased demand due to seasonal buying habits can also cause havoc: For instance, Halloween came with a pumpkin shortage; Thanksgiving came with a turkey shortage. And so what about Christmas? With two weeks still to go, at least one major grocer is already taking steps…

FoodieFoodie, Simmons, Skittles

By Mike Pomranz | FoodAndWine.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Foodie Only one bed is being sold, and only on a first-come, first-serve basis. Your bed is for sleeping; not for eating candy.

The Simmons Sweet Sleep begins life as what looks like a massive candy dispenser featuring five large tubes, one for each Skittles flavor (or whatever…

FoodieBarefoot, Foodie, Oreos, wine

By Mike Pomranz | FoodAndWine.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Foodie Over the years, as wine has shed its snobby reputation, drinkers have embraced more everyday wine pairings, from wine and quarantine snacks to wine and Halloween candy. We've even seen major brands team up to package these pairings. For instance, Cheez-It has had an ongoing partnership with Usual Wines to perfectly match vino and snack crackers. Now, two of the biggest names in the game have announced a collaboration sure to solidify the reputation of down-to-earth pairings: Barefoot is releasing a collaboration wine inspired by Oreos.

By Maria Yagoda | FoodAndWine.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Foodie The social media company says that 80% of their 2021 predictions came true. 'Tis the season—for predicting.

New York City Is Facing a Cream Cheese Shortage

FoodieCreamCheese, 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…

Michigan Burger Restaurant Sued for Looking Too Similar to In-N-Out

Business, Foodie, In The NewsFoodie

By Mike Pomranz | FoodAndWine.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Foodie Doll n' Burgers believes there's zero chance people would confuse the two brands. Few fast food companies have a reputation like In-N-Out. The Southern California-based burger chain is beloved by many, but is also no stranger to controversy. (And I'm not just talking about their French fries!) Perhaps preserving its unique image is the reason behind the company's track record of litigation. Beyond suing other burger restaurants, they've also gotten embroiled with delivery services and even a dry cleaners to protect their brand identity. Now, the chain has reportedly sued a pair of restaurants for having what they claim is…

FoodieChickenTenders, Foodie

By Jelisa Castrodale | FoodAndWine.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Foodie Sorry, parents: your already picky child's mealtime could be even more complicated. According to TODAY, chicken tenders could be increasingly hard to come by for the time being — and if you can find them, they might be more expensive. "When I come home from the store and I don't have any chicken tenders, my kids are not happy," Arizona mom Molly Edmunds told the outlet. "The shelves have been empty recently, restaurants have been out of chicken tenders, and that makes it very difficult when you have kids that have limited options." If that…

A Lawsuit Against Folgers Claims Their Cans of Coffee Don’t Make As Many Cups as Promised

FoodieFolgers, Foodie

By Jelisa Castrodale | FoodAndWine.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Foodie Unsurprisingly, it's not the first time a customer has been upset over the amount of Folgers in their cup. We're willing to bet that when you buy a can of ground coffee, you don't keep track of exactly how many cups you're able to brew from it. But a Missouri man named Mark Smith sure as heck does: in November, he filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Kansas City, alleging that Folgers had "grossly misrepresented" the number of cups of coffee that can be made from canisters of its…
