I may disagree with your characterization of that meat, sir, but I will defend to the death your right to so mischaracterize it:
PHILADELPHIA - In a case that involves issues as lofty as the First Amendment and as basic as which cut of meat was served, a restaurant critic is being sued for libel for describing a $15 piece of beef as "miserably tough and fatty."
This is a new one to me, culinary plagiarism:
Lower Manhattan, New York, which has long regarded itself as the world's ultimate trend factory, has spawned a new pastime that could spread like wildfire through America and beyond: suing over the culinary equivalent of plagiarism.
For your next dinner party, you might want to duplicate this experience:
The menu and entertainment were designed as a showcase of America
McDonald's is testing a bigger burger, which should get the obesity crowd buzzing:
The Chicago Tribune said the new Third Pounder is currently available only in about 600 restaurant locations in Southern California. At one-third of a pound, the burger is the biggest on the McDonald's menu at outlets where it is being tested.
It is also the most expensive sandwich, priced at $3.99, the paper said.
Thank God it still tastes so good:
Garlic may be good for a lot of things -- spicing up your diet, for sure -- but it seems to be no good at all at lowering your cholesterol.
Who are they kidding?
NEW YORK (Reuters) - A leading restaurant association has called for the cancellation of a TV commercial featuring Britney Spears' estranged husband, Kevin Federline, as a failed rap star working in a fast-food eatery.
In a 30-second ad for Nationwide Insurance, Federline is shown dreaming he is a rap star but then snaps out of it to face reality -- he's working at a burger restaurant.
Anybody think they'll ever try this in Indiana?
OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) - Washington state's experiment with Sunday liquor sales is a big hit, and lawmakers may expand it to more stores this year.
Twenty state-run stores and 38 contract stores run by private vendors have been keeping Sunday hours, noon to 5 p.m., for the past 16 months. And sales are expected to top $18.5 million by June 30th.
About the same time they have the Super Bowl in Fort Wayne, probably.

Being an expert in one area does not make one an expert in other areas. Starbucks should stick to coffee, and leave the doughnuts alone:
Starbucks Corp. is cutting trans fats from the doughnuts, muffins and other treats in half of its U.S. stores, and plans to eventually drop the artery-clogging fats from company-operated coffeehouses across the country.
Did anyone else have the same reaction I did to the Olive Garden story, namely, what in the world is a norovirus?
A contagious stomach virus is likely to blame for sickening about 370 people who ate at an Olive Garden restaurant in Indianapolis last week, a county health official said on Monday.
