Small Business Highlight: Great American Donut Shop
While driving on US 31 W Bypass in Bowling Green, Kentucky, one may notice a donut shop. The building has an older look to it, contrasting some of the other modern-day restaurants and fast food places you’d see on the bypass. However, this donut shop is beloved in Bowling Green.

Magnificent Mishka!
Having had their fill of uninspiring inns, pedestrian pubs and grim gastropubs, the people behind Mishka Pub wanted to go the extra mile to create a venue that has become synonymous with the town of Driffield in East Riding of Yorkshire, England. But what is it about those inns, pubs and gastropubs that left them dissatisfied? The team from Mishka Pub saw an opportunity in Driffield, a gap where they could really make a mark. They chose to bestow upon the small town of Driffield a relaxed eatery where locals can become regular patrons, and summer tourists can feel safe and welcome.

Chirba Chirba Dumpling Truck
The Chirba Chirba Dumpling Truck is a fixture in the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill area of North Carolina. The area boasts more than it's fair share of "Food Truck Rodeos," and Chirba Chirba seems to manage to be at all of them.

The New York Tea Shop Serving Japan’s Finest
The proliferation of tea shops, matcha bars and simply cafes in New York might lead you to believe that opening such a business is a fairly simple proposal. But there’s the kind of place that serves you an insipid teabag and a pot of lukewarm water and sends you on your way, and then there’s Kettl — which is serving something so different it’s hard to believe both resulting beverages can be categorized as “tea.”

The Legend of the Burger Bunch
Allow me the opportunity to tell you the legend of the Burger Bunch. The year was 2013, and myself, Daniel, Jordan, Ethan, other Daniel, Alix, Adam, Emily, Daniel #3, and Dov were coming up on the end of our first summer as camp counselors. With mere weeks to go before we spread across the world to begin our first semesters of college, we knew we needed one final adventure. As we ate the camp's modest attempt at burgers, it dawned on Alix.

Community is Crucial
I live in Santa Monica, on the Westside of Los Angeles, which basically means anything that makes me get on the freeway has to be very, very important because I just genuinely LOVE my neighborhood.

Bosscat Kitchen & Libations
Bosscat Kitchen & Libations in Newport Beach is the perfect place to brunch like a boss! A whiskey bar with a menu full of Southern elements to pair with. In 2019 Bosscat Kitchen & Libations was awarded, "Best Brunch in OC" by the Golden Foodie Awards. While lines around Bosscat every Sunday morning are all the proof we need regarding its brunch devotion -- the comfort food with exciting new twists and personable hospitality is what keeps customers coming back for more. With a very unique menu serving from sweet to savory, creative creations by Chef Peter Petro combines good ol' American comfort food with contemporary flavors and cooking techniques. Their exciting brunch menu has gems such as The Fruity Pebble French Toast, Nutella S'mores Pancake, The Donut Burger, and many more! All creations are well thought out with a personal touch to each dish. For example, the Nutella S'mores Pancake was born from Chef Petro's childhood memory of being on the beach at night making s' mores by the fire. It's made with a sweet cream pancake batter with a gram cracker sauce, some Nutella maple syrup, topped with toasted marshmallows torched to perfection. Another innovative dish offered is The Donut Burger, which is a beef patty, cheese, bacon, an over-easy fried egg, all in a donut -- how could you go wrong?! People have driven for hours to come and try the famous brunch dish, The Fruity Pebbles French Toast and anyone who orders this dish is guaranteed to have some crazy brunch content to add to their feed. Instead of simple maple syrup, Chef Petro wanted to find a more creative way to serve french toast all while showcasing Fruitty Pebble's fantastic colors by using sweet condensed milk. This dish is also topped off with bacon bits to give you a taste of both savory and sweet all in one bite. Lastly garnished with some fresh berries to really bring the experience full circle.

Cov-19 and Restaurants
Introduction Part of what all of us have experienced during this time of “quarantine life” is that we have come to appreciate what we had before the COVID-19/coronavirus pandemic, much of which we took for granted in our daily lives before March 2020. One of these “things” that we just assumed to be relatively stable was the daily availability of restaurants of all types, categories, cuisines and sizes. Whether it was the morning stop for caffeine at Starbucks to having breakfast, lunch, dinner - or maybe even that late night “fourth meal” at Taco Bell, we became accustomed to having a multitude of food choices available to us that our ancestors could only dream of! We could drop in, drive thru, order out for delivery - heck, we could even order and eat in our own cars at the local Sonic - often having our food delivered by a roller-skating server! Sometimes, we could feel almost paralyzed by our choices as the foods available were so abundant and the means of where, how, and when we could enjoy these restaurants were numerous.

A Little Piece of Vegan Heaven: Clementine Bakery. Top Story - April 2020.
I moved to Brooklyn just over 3 years ago, and I'm not exaggerating when I say that I go to Clementine maybe three times a week—every week. This tiny bakery near my apartment in Clinton Hill has become my neighborhood staple. I never expected to find "my neighborhood spot" so soon after moving to the area, but it truly was love at first bite (you'll have to try their wraps—or anything really, to understand what I mean!)

Amy Ruth's
Amy Ruth's is one of the last places I enjoyed a meal with my Nana. It was my college graduation and I took my family to try the incredible chicken and waffles. I'll treasure those celebratory days I had with my family. They loved the food – even my mostly vegetarian mom couldn't help trying some of the fried fish. We had a wonderful time. My Nana died a few weeks later.

Mama's Secret Kitchen
Today, American's across the country find comfort in a delicious bowl of steaming hot phở. But that wasn't always the case. When Helene An and her family fled Vietnam in 1975, after the end of a decades long, brutal war that ended with the Communist rise to power, they found themselves starting over in an unfamilar home. San Francisco in the 70s was everything you could imagine it to be, vibrant, rebellious and free spirited. Chinatown had long before made it's mark as a defining feature of the cities cultural landscape. But it's Vietnamese heritage was only just beginning to take root. As part of the first wave of Vietnamese immigrants to arrive on American shores, Helene and her family would help meld Vietnamese heritage into the fabric of American society.

I went to all the restaurants in the 'Street Food' Osaka episode
It's not often you get the chance to actually eat at the places you see on shows like Chef's Table and Street Food. Whether that's because of distance or cost these places often feel unattainable. I recently came back from a two week vacation in Japan. I spent a good amount of my time in Osaka and since - in essence - street food is meant to be inexpensive, I went off on a journey to eat all the food I saw in Street Food: Osaka.
