Kraft Is Starting a Mac & Cheese Club and Members Will Be the First to Taste New Flavors

Kraft Is Starting a Mac & Cheese Club and Members Will Be the First to Taste New Flavors

Foodie, ,
By Mike Pomranz | FoodAndWine.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Foodie Each drop also comes with free limited-edition mac 'n' cheese merch. Over the past year, Kraft has gone on a major promotional push with their previously pretty straightforward macaroni and cheese. (Not that SpongeBob shapes aren't exciting, but it's still just mac and cheese.) In September 2020, Kraft brought Pumpkin Spice Mac & Cheese to America, followed by candy-flavored, pink Mac & Cheese for Valentine's Day. And then, Kraft Mac & Cheese Ice Cream was a surprise hit over the summer, completing a viral trifecta. So to keep this momentum going, Kraft has come up with…

A Village in Cyprus Is Now Home to This 16-Foot-Tall Potato Statue

A Village in Cyprus Is Now Home to This 16-Foot-Tall Potato Statue

Foodie,
By Jelisa Castrodale | FoodAndWine.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Foodie Images of the oblong tuber have gone viral for... reasons. The Belfast Tourist Board recommends that visitors to the Northern Ireland city should try to see "the world's largest Titanic visitor experience," the century-old Belfast Cathedral, and The Big Fish, a 32-foot long ceramic statue of a salmon.  When officials in Xylofagou, a village in Cyprus, were trying to figure out what they could do to commemorate their most famous crop, they thought about Belfast's Big Fish. But instead of a tiled mosaic covered with stories about their city — like that oversized…

McDonald’s McPlant Is Finally Arriving in the U.S. — But Only at Eight Locations

Foodie, , ,
By Mike Pomranz | FoodAndWine.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Foodie McDonald's says the test "will help us understand how offering a burger with a plant-based patty impacts the kitchens in our restaurants." Nearly one year after McDonald's announced plans for its long-awaiting plant-based burger, the McPlant, the product is finally set for a public launch on U.S. shores… but only at a mere eight locations across the country. And not for another three weeks. The burger giant announced today that, starting November 3, eight locations would offer a limited-time test run of the burger which was made in collaboration with Beyond Meat but is…

How Much Frosting Do You Need to Decorate a Cake?

How Much Frosting Do You Need to Decorate a Cake?

Foodie,
By Katlyn Moncada | BHG.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Foodie To frost the top, sides, and between the layers of your cake, you may need more frosting than you think. Here's how much frosting you need for each size cake. Whether baked in a single 13x9-inch pan or multiple round baking pans for layers, nothing compares to a slice of homemade cake. If you're new to baking, learning how to make cakes that are always moist, fluffy, and baked evenly is the important first step. But when you move on to frosting cakes, you might be wondering how much frosting is needed to ensure your dessert is covered properly. Having enough…

New FDA Recommendations Aim to Significantly Reduce Salt Used in the Food Supply—Here’s What That Means for You

New FDA Recommendations Aim to Significantly Reduce Salt Used in the Food Supply—Here’s What That Means for You

Foodie, ,
By Jessica Ball, M.S., R.D. | FoodAndWine.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Foodie This new guidance calls on restaurants and businesses to drastically cut the sodium in the foods they produce. Even over the last year, the leading cause of death in America is heart disease. While there are many factors that can influence someone's risk, our diets (particularly our sodium and saturated fat intake) have a great impact on our overall heart health. In a recent survey, it was estimated that almost 90% of American adults consume more salt than the recommended max of 2,300 milligrams per day. There are several other negative consequences of…

Wendy’s Will Replace Your Fries if They’re Not ‘Hot & Crispy’

Wendy’s Will Replace Your Fries if They’re Not ‘Hot & Crispy’

Foodie, ,
By Jelisa Castrodale | FoodAndWine.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Foodie The guarantee comes after the chain changed up its French fry recipe as more customers turn to delivery. In late August, Wendy's announced that it was changing its French fries for the first time in over a decade. The company said that its new Hot & Crispy Fries have been redesigned to ensure that they'd stay hot and crispy for up to 30 minutes after they were taken out of the fryer — which was great news for those of us who prefer drive-thrus to dining in, or who would rather stay home…

Chick-fil-A Lawsuit Claims Raising Menu Prices on Delivery Orders Is Deceptive

Chick-fil-A Lawsuit Claims Raising Menu Prices on Delivery Orders Is Deceptive

Foodie, ,
By Mike Pomranz | FoodAndWine.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Foodie Is a flat delivery fee still a flat fee if the food also costs more? Though more prevalent than ever, delivery is still an extra step in the traditional restaurant experience, and someone is going to have to pay for that additional service. But how upfront does a restaurant have to be with their customers about the way delivery costs are covered? That question is at the heart of a new lawsuit filed against Chick-fil-A. Two New York City area plaintiffs allege that, beginning in early 2020, despite advertising flat delivery fees on…

A Martha Stewart Restaurant Is Coming to Las Vegas

A Martha Stewart Restaurant Is Coming to Las Vegas

Foodie, ,
By Mike Pomranz | FoodAndWine.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Foodie A construction permit reportedly confirms that the rumored restaurant really is arriving at Paris Las Vegas. Martha Stewart is coming to Vegas! And as much as we'd love for it to be a musical residency with Martha singing covers, sharing stories, and inviting Snoop Dogg for the occasional rap verse, instead, we'll be getting a Martha Stewart restaurant at the Paris Las Vegas hotel and casino. Hey, Snoop can still stop by there, too! The previously-rumored restaurant was confirmed by Eater Las Vegas, citing paperwork for a construction permit that names the forthcoming venue as…

Your Keurig coffee maker has gunky buildup. Here’s how to clean it right

Your Keurig coffee maker has gunky buildup. Here’s how to clean it right

Foodie, ,
Brian Bennett | CNET.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Foodie Clean your Keurig coffee pod brewer in a few simple steps. Coffee makers get dirty as you use them, and Keurig pod brewers are no exception. Over time, this accumulation can negatively impact your caffeine machine's performance. Given enough mineral buildup in the inner workings, your Keurig might even stop running. Cleaning it regularly is a simple way to avoid that unpleasant situation.  In addition to the brewing system, drip trays and water tanks also require frequent love and attention. Even the exterior of your machine will gather unsavory stains, fingerprints,…

Milk Bar Recreated Ted Lasso’s Biscuits — and They’re Giving Them Away for Free

Milk Bar Recreated Ted Lasso’s Biscuits — and They’re Giving Them Away for Free

Foodie, ,
By Mike Pomranz | FoodAndWine.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Foodie The biscuits can be ordered via Postmates from Milk Bar's New York City and Los Angeles Flagship stores for one day only. Ted Lasso features a delightful ensemble cast where all the characters continually vie for scene-stealing and heart-wrenching moments. But despite this bevy of talent, the series has still found room for a major supporting role from the common biscuit. The daily pink box of biscuits — probably better described as a shortbread in American parlance — Lasso (Jason Sudeikis) prepares for his boss Rebecca Welton (Hannah Waddingham) has become one…
