It's been awhile since I've posted stories we run across in the news. Please forgive.
So, here we go...here are the stories we are following on Thursday, Feb 23, 2012.
Food Safety News reports an Oklahoma woman is sueing Taco Bell for salmonella poisoning. The woman is from Cleveland County, OK and is among more than several who have contracted salmonella in 10 states. More of this unpleasant story here.
On a lighter, more educational note, The Wall Street Journal has a great article on how restaurants are teaching their waiters and waitresses how to "read the table" Are the people in a hurry, chatty, when do you bring the check? All these questions and more are being examined by restaurateurs and the answers taught to their wait staff. Read Sarah Nassauer's article here and/or watch the her in the video below.
Last in our list, New York Post's Carla Spartos writes about how some of the avid foody friends of food authors Andrew Dornenburg and Karen Page are getting tired of the descriptors used in menus these days. And don't get them started on the word "artisinal". I can see their point.
That's it for now.
