Cul de Cuvée: An espresso tonic with a fat salad, please

The recently-random bits.

There have been some recent steppings down in the food and drink writing world, but it was perhaps that of Pete Wells at the NY Times that drew the greatest attention if for no other reason than the fact he laid bare the impact on one’s health all that food reviewing does to you. It seems that it’s mostly the gents who don’t have any self control however as the lady food writers manage to not go nuts and eat everything in front… sorry a wheel of Parmesan casually rolled into the CdC HQ and all of the male staffers have started to fight over it. Gotta go!

In a special edition of Fuck Yeah, Salads!, it appears the bacteria that makes vinegar can destroy the PFAs or ‘forever chemicals’ when used properly. Suck on that modern chemistry! Next we’ll find out that a common chocolate bar can disarm nuclear weapons and not even in a MacGyver kind of way. Watch yer back, Russia.

Is the world coming to an end? Is the sky falling? Perhaps, perhaps not, but one thing is for sure in that you haven’t had proper wine unless you’ve had it in the worst wine glass, ever.
