Gobble Up Krispy Kreme’s New Thanksgiving Doughnut Collection, Inspired by Beloved Holiday Desserts

Foodie, ,
By Meghan Overdeep | FoodAndWine.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Foodie A pecan pie doughnut? Be still our hearts! With more to be thankful for than ever, Krispy Kreme is celebrating Thanksgivingwith a new collection of four festive doughnuts available in custom "gratitude boxes." According to the Charlotte-based doughnut giant, 80% of Americans agree that celebrating Thanksgiving is more important this year, with nearly half of survey respondents planning to attend more Thanksgiving celebrations than they did before the COVID-19 pandemic. And what better way to celebrate our return to near normalcy than with doughnuts? "We missed out on so much last year,…

NYC’s $1 Pizza Is No Longer a Dollar

NYC’s $1 Pizza Is No Longer a Dollar

Foodie, ,
By Mike Pomranz | FoodAndWine.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Foodie "Inflation is affecting every single ingredient." New York City is known around the world for its by-the-slice pizza joints. But among true New Yorkers (and thrifty tourists) another sub-genre has its own claim to fame: $1 pizza joints. These inexpensive pizzerias have pocked the city for decades, often offering a decent one-buck plain slice next to pizza shops charging three or more times the price, perhaps leaving some customers wondering how they keep their prices so low. But due to pandemic-fueled inflation, they reportedly can't keep their prices so low anymore. The New York…

Flippy, the fast-food robot who makes fries at White Castle, gets an upgrade

Flippy, the fast-food robot who makes fries at White Castle, gets an upgrade

Foodie, Technology, , , ,
Amanda Kooser | CNET.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Foodie #Technology The new version of Miso Robotics' cooking robo-arm doesn't need as much human help. You can't keep a good robot down. Flippy, a burger-flipping robot that famously got (temporarily) suspended from a job for cooking meat patties too quickly, is making new moves in the restaurant industry. On Tuesday, Miso Robotics announced a sleeker, more independent version of the robot: Flippy 2. Burger chain White Castle took an original Flippy for a fry-making test drive at one of its Chicagoland locations, and Miso Robotics used feedback from that pilot program to improve its machine.…

Your Favorite Snack Foods Are Going to Cost More Next Year

Foodie, ,
By Mike Pomranz | FoodAndWine.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Foodie Mondelez and Kraft Heinz say they're both raising prices on items like Oreos and Easy Mac to combat inflation costs.

And recently, two of the world's largest food companies, Mondelez and Kraft Heinz, both indicated that their prices are going to go up as we head into the new year. Earlier this week, Dirk Van de Put — CEO of Mondelez, which makes plenty…

Starbucks Announces New Holiday Drink and Cup Designs

Starbucks Announces New Holiday Drink and Cup Designs

Foodie, ,
By Mike Pomranz | FoodAndWine.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Foodie This year’s cup designs are all “gifting-inspired.” Much like pumpkin spice season, the winter holiday season seems to come earlier every year: We've practically reached the point where you're supposed to rip off your Halloween costume and slip right into an ugly sweater. To wit, this year, Starbucks waited a mere three days into November before announcing their holiday plans – four new cup designs and a new winter beverage alongside returning favorites – all launching tomorrow… making the season bright before the end of Daylight Saving Time has even made the winter dark. So…

Thanksgiving Dinner in Ice Cream Form Is Back Again from Salt & Straw

Foodie, ,
By Mike Pomranz | FoodAndWine.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Foodie This year’s lineup once again features all new wild Thanksgiving creations. Like many modern ice cream companies, Portland, Oregon-based Salt & Strawprides itself on offering many unique – and sometimes bizarre – flavors. They've run the gamut from sheep's milk cheese ice cream (interesting!) to smoked ham soft-serve (what the hell?!) But November is the brand's time to shine: For the ninth straight year, they're offering their full Thanksgiving meal in ice cream form– and once again, for 2021, the pints can be shipped across the U.S.A. in time for turkey day.

How to Tell When Pumpkin Pie Is Done—3 Ways to Test

How to Tell When Pumpkin Pie Is Done—3 Ways to Test

Foodie, ,
By Wini Moranville | BHG.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Foodie It seems every year we struggle to remember how to tell if pumpkin pie is done. We'll show you our tried-and-true method. You'll also learn how to avoid (or hide!) the crack caused by a knife check. Have you been tasked with making a pumpkin pie for a holiday meal? Consider yourself lucky, as they’re one of the easiest pies to make. Once you’ve made the pastry (or use a purchased one if you wish), just mix, pour, and bake. If there’s any trick to it at all, it’s knowing how to tell when pumpkin…

Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups Stuffed with Potato Chips Are Being Spotted in the Wild

Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups Stuffed with Potato Chips Are Being Spotted in the Wild

Foodie, ,
By Mike Pomranz | FoodAndWine.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Foodie Rumored since last year, the new Big Cup with bits of salty potato chips are already getting positive feedback. My dad has never been a culinary trailblazer, but one uncommon food he's always advocated for is the chocolate-covered potato chip. "Why aren't these easier to find?" he'd lament, digging into a bag. His query is justified: They're a delightful mix of salty and sweet, combining two things most Americans can't get enough of — and yet, they've never quite broken into the mainstream. But now, potato chips combined with chocolate may finally…

City News, Foodie, , ,
By Khushbu Shah | FoodAndWine.Com Troy Warren for DetroitNewsAndTalk.Com #Foodie For Lisa Ludwinski and her beloved Detroit bakery Sister Pie, Thanksgiving is the biggest day of the year. For many, the final days of the month of August are a last chance to enjoy summer's indulgences—a cold dip in the pool; a piping hot burger flipped on a grill; hunks of chilled, icy watermelon. But for Lisa Ludwinski, the last days of August are focused exclusively on creating a battle plan for Thanksgiving. Yes, Thanksgiving. Ludwinski is the founder and owner of Sister Pie, a beloved bakery that sits on the corner…
