Better Than Sex Cake
Not on the Menu challenge: The Prompt - Write about something memorable you ate that you'd never find on a restaurant menu. Not every unforgettable meal comes with a reservation. Maybe it was something your grandmother made without a recipe, a questionable combination you invented as a kid, a snack discovered halfway across the world, or a meal thrown together from whatever happened to be left in the fridge. It might have been incredible. It might have been terrible. You might still be trying to figure out what was actually in it. For this challenge, write about something you ate that you'd never expect to see on a restaurant menu. Tell us what it was, where you were, who was there, and why you still remember it. The food doesn't have to be fancy or even particularly good. It just has to come with a story.

That's where the Love is
He's five years old and he’s looking at my hands while we’re waiting in line and he asks, “Why are your hands a different color than mine?” And I tell him that people come from many different places with all sorts of shades and colors and faces and mine come from islands where people are the color of chestnuts and sweet coffee, but I also come from people who are the color of ginger root and sand and from people who are the color of mushrooms and cream, and they’re all beautiful and together they made me.*

Why Food Prices Keep Going up - Mile 12 Market Leader Explains
Panla fish is now N11,000, it used to be N7,500. A bag of garri now costs N26,000. It is not news that food prices have dramatically increased all over the nation. Still for a lot of us, the civilians buying these foods, we have no idea WHY this price increase is happening.

Wading Through Various Grill Features
When looking into different grills features, you may be faced with what seems like a foreign language. How are you suppose to pick the grill that is best for you if you do not understand what you are reading? While the language used when describing grills will not get any easier to read, understanding the majority of what it means will help you make an informed decision.

Next Whiskey Bar - Lisle, IL
Lisle, IL is one of the last ‘blink and you’ll miss it’ small towns outside of Chicago, but it is definitely a big-time spot for food. Out of all of the great eats in this town, the one I always make THE destination for visiting friends and family, or when I need a pick-me-up is Next Whiskey Bar located on Main St. in the downtown district.

Two Places(an old STL throwback article)
I do remember those days, back in my Childhood When you’d take me after a long day at Meramac Springs, and the whole truck would smell like bait, fish(all the trout we caught) and coins(you’d always have mountains of coins in your truck)...

How To Make All Restaurants Safer for Employees
Asking the Right Questions I have worked in many different restaurants. One day, I had become tired and annoyed about how the business I was in charge of was being run. I came to terms with this simple truth. I did the same thing day in and day out. I had mastered all the different stations, completing tasks at speeds that can only be considered superhuman, wearing my body down. I started doing things like flipping cups around and catching them to entertain myself. I created a better way to stuff French-fry boxes and learned to handle fry baskets one-handed. Even these gave way to boredom and my mind once again started to wander. My mind was always struggling to find the next new thing. I began to look around my job, and my brain commenced to ask questions, “How do I stop stray lids from falling back behind the drink station? How do I keep napkins, straws, and stray cups from being kicked under the counter?"

Things I'm Passionate About Part 13
Part 13 of things I’m passionate about. 1. Gum I love gum. Straight up, it’s good for helping with an oral fixation, like the kind you can get from smoking or habitual eating. Whether that be boredom eating, emotional eating, or whatever. It can also change your mood depending on the taste or smells it evokes. I know some people think that that’s related to things like aroma therapy which a lot of people think is hokum, but certain flavors of gum, like with teas can help change my mood, and even if it’s psychosomatic, isn’t that kind of the point? I love the taste, I love using it as a way to help stave off my overeating habits, there’s some studies that point out that chewing primes your digestive enzymes and so having no food go in after chewing could mess with your hormones, but I’ll have to do more research on that. I’m going to be writing about the science of gum chewing and the origins and manufacture of gum itself, but also reviews on all the different types of gum I try and enjoy.
