Forget the Chicken Sandwich Wars, Here Come the Chicken Sandwich Lawsuits

Forget the Chicken Sandwich Wars, Here Come the Chicken Sandwich Lawsuits

Foodie, , ,
By Mike Pomranz | FoodAndWine.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Foodie Side-by-side photos on Facebook turned a subpar sandwich into a viral story in Indonesia, with the unsatisfied customer threatening to take legal action. Fast food burgers rarely look like they do in the advertisements. Most people have come to begrudgingly accept this fact, and you can even find videos of food stylistsgleefully deceiving us as they gussy up burgers for photoshoots. But have you ever received a burger so sad you felt compelled to take legal action? A KFC customer in Indonesia was so unsatisfied with his chicken sandwich that he threatened to sue the store he…

Foodie, Lifestyle, , ,
BY KATHRYN ROMEYN | HollywoodReporter.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Foodie  #Lifestyle The surfside city north of San Diego has welcomed two new boutique hotels and a restaurant from Guadalupe Valley chef Roberto Alcocer, with a dessert bar in the famed 'Top Gun' house on the way. For the past 35 years, the North County surf town of Oceanside was likely only known in Hollywood circles for being home to the sweet Victorian cottage where Tom Cruise’s Maverick visited his love interest, Charlie (Kelly McGillis), in Top Gun. But, just as the long-awaited film’s sequel is on the horizon in 2022, the small…

Foodie, ,

A Takeout Box and To-Go Cup Shortage Is the Restaurant Industry’s Latest Supply-Chain Problem

A Takeout Box and To-Go Cup Shortage Is the Restaurant Industry’s Latest Supply-Chain Problem

Foodie, , , ,
By Mike Pomranz | FoodAndWine.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Foodie Demand for takeout has gone up while pandemic-fueled logistical issues have made supplies harder to come by. The fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic has created all sorts of shortages. Looking just at food, we've seen low supplies on everything from ketchup for our summer barbecues to pumpkins for Halloween. And now, we're reportedly seeing a shortage on the things we put our food in: to-go containers. Even as restaurants have opened back up, changes to Americans' dining habits mean that takeout orders this past September were still up about 20 percent from where they were in…

Reese’s Is Selling Its Largest Peanut Butter Cup Ever and It’s the Size of a Pie

Foodie, ,
By Mike Pomranz | FoodAndWine.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Foodie Why settle for pumpkin when you can slice up 3.4 pounds of chocolate and peanut butter? Americans tend to disagree over which pie is most fitting for Thanksgiving. My family always had pumpkin pie, but last year, an analysis of Instagram datasuggested that cranberry, sweet potato, cherry, pecan, blueberry, strawberry, and apple were all popular options as well. But this year, Reese's wants people to forget every pie out there: In fact, they kind of want you to forget about what constitutes a "pie" at all. The confection specialist is releasing a limited number…

Starbucks and Amazon Go Opened a Hybrid Store Where You Can ‘Just Walk Out’ with a Coffee and Snacks

Starbucks and Amazon Go Opened a Hybrid Store Where You Can ‘Just Walk Out’ with a Coffee and Snacks

Foodie, , ,
By Mike Pomranz | FoodAndWine.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Foodie The first location just opened in New York City. At least two more are arriving in the next year. We probably should have seen it coming: Back in 2019, Amazon Go began adding Starbucks kiosks to their stores. "We partnered up with Starbucks to make sure we're offering really great coffee," Cameron Janes, Amazon's vice president of physical stores, said at the time. Like Pete Davidson and Kim Kardashian, we were all kind of like, Oh, that's interesting they're hanging out. But now here we are. Today, Starbucks and Amazon have announced their integration…

Forget Spinach, Popeye Is Selling Two Real Pick-Me-Ups: Coffee and Hot Sauce

Forget Spinach, Popeye Is Selling Two Real Pick-Me-Ups: Coffee and Hot Sauce

Foodie, ,
By Mike Pomranz | FoodAndWine.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Foodie The products can be purchased from the famed cartoon sailor's new online store. To say that Popeye's culinary preferences are one-note is an understatement: He even references spinach in his theme song despite the lyrics constituting a mere three lines. This guy loves his spinach. But when it comes to promoting other products, Popeye has proven more than happy to play the field. The comic character has plugged everything from Dr. Pepper to Campbell's Chunky Soup. And after 90-plus years (Popeye celebrated his 90th birthday in 2019) the sailor's promotional power is apparently…
