Reba McEntire Is Opening a Restaurant in Oklahoma

Foodie, ,
By Meghan Overdeep | FoodAndWine.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Foodie Reba’s Place is set to open late next year in Atoka. Reba McEntire is adding "restauranteur" to her ever-growing resume. The 66-year-old country superstar is opening a restaurant, bar, and live entertainment venue in Atoka, Oklahoma, next year. McEntire announced her new venture—in partnership with the Choctaw Nation—during a performance at the Choctaw Grand Theater in Durant Friday night.

Reese’s Just Launched a University for Peanut Butter Cup Fans

Reese’s Just Launched a University for Peanut Butter Cup Fans

Foodie, ,
By Mike Pomranz | FoodAndWine.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Foodie But don't expect to live on-campus. For peanut butter-based candy, the Reese's name reigns supreme thanks in no small part to their enormously popular peanut butter cups. Now, the Hershey-owned brand wants to bring that expertise to the masses (kind of) with the launch of their new eponymous Reese's University. Admittedly, Reese's repeatedly cites their own lawyers as saying "Reese's University is not a real University," but the concept remains the same: a fictional institution of higher education, albeit one with a real nickname, the Fighting Cuppies, and a real mascot with a…

Canada Taps Into Its Strategic Maple Syrup Reserve to Avoid a Shortage

Canada Taps Into Its Strategic Maple Syrup Reserve to Avoid a Shortage

Foodie,
By Mike Pomranz | FoodAndWine.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Foodie It's the first time the stockpile has had to be touched in three years. For some commodities, maintaining reserve supplies is a clear necessity: Oil, for instance, isn't something the world wants to unexpectedly run out of. But stockpiles are common for all sorts of items: In 2018, America had record-breaking cheese reserves; in 2019, our bacon stockpiles hit a near 50-year high; and despite a terrible 2021 harvest, Champagne's perennial reserve stock system insures that the globe won't run out of bubbly. With that in mind, back in June, early signs of a maple…

A peak time for pecans

A peak time for pecans

Foodie,
By Eric Dusenbery, For the AJC Troy Warren for CNT #Foodie Finding success growing one of Georgia’s favorite products can be a hard nut to crack Sitting in line at Morehouse Pecans in Irwinville, I am amazed by the activity. The pickup truck in front of me has five or six bags of pecans. A small army of men descends to help with his tailgate and starts unloading. It reminds me of the scene from “Back to the Future” when Marty McFly travels back in time to downtown Hill Valley and notices the full-service Texaco gas station. Four attendants rush out…

Waffle House Now Has Its Own Children’s Book

Foodie,
By Mike Pomranz | FoodAndWine.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Foodie A Waffle Can Change the World is available just in time for the holidays — and for a good cause. Can a waffle change the world? That's a pretty deep question that I'm not sure any of us are truly fit to answer. But it can get you a book deal with Waffle House! The iconic diner chain (which already has its own record label) has just published its own children's book entitled A Waffle Can Change the World, described as a "true story inspired by a contagious kindness and love felt first-hand by a father…

How long you can safely leave out Thanksgiving leftovers

How long you can safely leave out Thanksgiving leftovers

Foodie, Health, ,
By Nancy Clanton, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Troy Warren for CNT #Health  #Foodie Put that uneaten turkey and side dishes in the fridge within a couple of hours One of the perks of spending all that time cooking a huge Thanksgiving meal is that you have leftovers for days. If you leave that food sitting out too long, however, you could be sick for days, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta warns. The bacteria Clostridium perfringens grows in cooked food left at room temperature, the CDC states, and is the second most common bacterial cause of food poisoning. The major…

Food is not a punishment you have to ‘work off’

Food is not a punishment you have to ‘work off’

Editors Picks, Foodie,
By Heidi Stevens, Tribune News Service Troy Warren for CNT #Foodie  #EditorsPicks We don’t need to downhill ski for 9 hours to burn calories. We need to stop demonizing food. A delightful meme is making the rounds on social media, just in time for the diet industry’s annual holiday finger-wagging. It skewers the ridiculous advice that shows up every year, as predictable as a mall Santa, reminding us how much exercise it takes to counteract the naughty calories in a typical holiday meal. (“Nine hours of casual downhill skiing” will forever be my favorite, courtesy of a Huffington Post slideshow on…

Cheetos Will Host a Cheese Dust Artwork Exhibition During This Year’s Art Basel

Cheetos Will Host a Cheese Dust Artwork Exhibition During This Year’s Art Basel

Foodie, ,
By Mike Pomranz | FoodAndWine.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Foodie The event promises "eight vibrant and dynamic original art pieces" by street artist Lefty Out There and made from that orange powder otherwise known as "Cheetle." Even if you know nothing about the art world and have never heard of Art Basel, you may remember a story from 2019 where an artist duct-taped a banana to a wall and it sold for $120,000. And then another artist ate the banana. And then everyone was just duct-taping things to walls thinking they were hilarious. That was the most recent Art Basel in Miami Beach (it…

Breakfast Cereal Is About to Get More Expensive

Breakfast Cereal Is About to Get More Expensive

Foodie, ,
By Mike Pomranz | FoodAndWine.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Foodie General Mills is raising its prices in mid-January, according to a new report. Pretty much everything is getting more expensive. The fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly its disruptions to the transportation and labor markets, has driven up most industries' underlying costs resulting in a spike in inflation. Snacks? More expensive. Turkeys? More expensive. Even slices of $1 pizza no longer cost a dollar. (You'd think they could just cut the slices thinner, but I guess this is why I don't own a $1 pizza joint.) Plenty of packaged good brands have already spoken about their…
