D.C.'s Food Court: Fine Dining, Food Trucks and Everything in Between
In D.C., two things are certain: Politics and food. From the latest restaurants to the newest trends, we got you covered with a smorgasbord of information. Email me [Courtney] at email@example.com with your Food Blog ideas!
New Phone App Gives You Personalized Beer and Wine Recommendations
A new free app called "Next Glass" (for iPhone AND Android) helps you pick out new beers and wines to try based on what you already like.
The Next Glass description on iTunes and the Google Play Store says you build a "Taste Profile" by rating your favorites, then scan labels while you're at the store to get a personal score for that brand. You can also search for brand names at home to find out how much you're likely to enjoy them.
"Next Glass has tested tens of thousands of wines and beers, analyzing over 20,000 compounds within each bottle to identify what the tongue perceives as 'taste'. The chemical makeup (or 'DNA') of each bottle is then stored in our one-of-a-kind Genome Cellar."
So, basically, it's like Pandora for booze. There's also a social media element that allows you to see your friends' preferences if you're shopping for a party or gathering.
Check out a video description of how the app works below.
Cat Cafe "Crumbs and Whiskers" Announced Plans to Open in D.C.
The plans are all very mysterious right now, but a "cat cafe" called Crumbs & Whiskers says it plans to be D.C.'s first feline-friendly food establishment.
According to the website, a Kickstarter will soon be launched for the project.
To keep up with the plans for C&W, sign up for updates on the site, or follow them on Facebook or Twitter.
Starbucks Offering BOGO on Holiday Drinks Through Nov. 16

Dunkin' Donuts Introduces Its Answer to the Cronut
Not only has Dunkin' Donuts finally taken the "cronut" craze mainstream, but you can get a free "Croissant Donut" in Arlington today (Nov. 13) and potentially win a year's supply of donuts, too.
The Dunkin' Donuts Croissant Donut Truck (which is on tour at the moment) will be parked at the corner of Wilson Boulevard and Fort Myer Drive this morning from 7 to 9 a.m., and visitors can pick up a Croissant Donut and dark roast coffee on the house (or on the truck?).
Post a photo of yourself at the truck on Instagram, Twitter or the Dunkin' Donuts Facebook page with the hashtag #CroissantDDonut and you could win a Dunkin' gift card, as well.
Mom's Organic Market Opening First D.C. Store Friday
Mom's Organic Market will open its first D.C. store in Ward 5 this weekend, as part of Douglas Development Corportation's mixed-use Hecht Warehouse District on New York Avenue NE.
The grand opening, which runs Friday through Sunday, will include local samples, kid's activities, and reusable MOM's bags packed with goodies (while supplies last). Five percent of grand opening sales will be donated to Sasha Bruce Youthwork (SBY), a local youth shelter and services provider.
This comes as good news to the Ward, parts of which the United States Department of Agriculture classifies as a "food dessert," or an urban area where a significant number of residents live a mile or more away from the nearest supermarket.
The opening comes just a bit more than a week after the city's fourth Harris Teeter opened on 4th Street SE, in the new Forest City Washington mixed-use center in Ward 6. That chain now has four locations in D.C.

The Most Trending Halloween Candy in 2014 for Each State
A map put together by SumoCoupon shows the trendiest treat in each state, determined by Google searches.
For Maryland, a treat most might not even consider candy made the top trending Halloween treat…raisins. Virginia also has a questionable treat show up. Although it is candy, it's not necessarily a popular choice, or one you see often — Pez.
The map also includes D.C. with a treat most people can get on board with — Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.

Dutch Guys Fool Food Expo Attendees Into Complimenting McDonald's
You may be familiar with the Jimmy Kimmel Live segment, "Lie Witness News," during which crews from the show do things like go to the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival and ask people their opinions on bands that do not exist.
People (the ones who make it on air, anyway) pretend to be knowledgeable so they don't look dumb on camera. Of course, the end result is they end up looking REALLY dumb.
Well, a couple of Dutch guys have adopted this concept to fool foodies into thinking McDonald's grub is delicious.
The video begins with footage of them visiting a McDonald's, buying several menu items and deconstructing them — cutting them up into smaller pieces and arranging them so they won't be recognizable.
Then they drive to a food expo to, as the English subtitles explain, "serve some McDonald's snacks to the biggest food experts of the Benelux [Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg], yet telling them they're trying out a new, organic alternative to fastfood."
The video shows several expo attendees reacting well to the food, and then the pranksters begin asking them specifically how the snacks compare to McDonald's.
That's when things get funny for us, but embarrassing for the people on film.
Watch the video below, and click "settings" to add the English subtitles.
Starbucks Announces New Holiday Latte
You COULD roast chestnuts on an open fire this holiday season. Or you could take the easy route and head to your local Starbucks.
This year, the coffee chain will introduce its first new holiday beverage in five years. The chestnut praline latte will be alongside other winter favorites like the eggnog latte and peppermint mocha.
According to Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz, the addition of new drink is one of many initiatives to boost end-of-year sales, which dropped off last year due to more customers skipping the mall and turning to online retailers, instead.
"Holiday 2013 witnessed a seismic shift in consumer behavior in which many traditional brick-and-mortar retailers experienced a decline in foot traffic compared to significant growth in online shopping," he says.
"Since that time, we have been focused on radically redefining the Starbucks retail experience for our partners, customers and stores. As a result of the work we've done, Starbucks is poised for a great holiday – our innovation pipeline is strong and we have a number of initiatives ready to launch during the holiday and into calendar 2015 and beyond."
Lay's Do us a Flavor Contest Winner Announced
Starting in July, the race was on between four fan-submitted Lay's potato chip flavor ideas.
Cheddar Bacon Mac and Cheese, Cappuccino, Mango Salsa and Wasabi Ginger were in the running, and consumers could vote on Facebook and Twitter for their favorite.
Well, the votes are in, and Wasabi Ginger is the champion. About 1 million votes were cast online for the promotion, according to an Associated Press report.
The woman behind the idea, a nurse from New Jersey, will get $1 million or a portion of a year in sales, whichever is more.
Last year's Do us a Flavor contest winner, Cheesy Garlic Bread, is still on shelves.
Carve Yourself a Pumpkin Keg
Pumpkin beer straight from the tap or liquor store is so last year. Now you can take a new twist on carving pumpkins and actually carve yourself a pumpkin keg.
The good folks at Mashable created a video of how to turn your pumpkin into a beer keg, and it may not be as complicated as you think.
Here's what you need:
- Medium to large-sized pumpkin
- Large carving knife
- Pumpkin carving kit, or small carving knife
- Marker
- Spigot
- Spoon
- Bucket
Once you have the materials, carve out the top of the pumpkin, remove the seeds and pulp (like you would for a jack-o-lantern) and then make room for the spigot.
See the video and full instructions HERE.

Soda Makers Pledge to Reduce Calorie Consumption

In select markets in Ohio and Florida, Starbucks is testing a latte that it says has the "savory toasty malt" flavor of a foamy mug of stout.
Read more about the beer-flavored brew here.
&pizza Bringing 9 New Locations to the DMV
&pizza, the local, assembly-line style pizza chain commonly referred to as "the Chipotle of pizza places," is bringing 9 new locations to D.C., Maryland and Virginia by early 2015.
Currently, there are five &pizza shops in D.C. and one in Bethesda.
Coming soon: A much anticipated Virginia location (in the Springfield mall), three Maryland locations (one in Gaithersburg, one in Germantown and one TBA), a location in both Dulles and Reagan National airports and an additional three in D.C.
Butter is Coffee's New Best Friend
Forget zero-calorie sweeteners and "skinny" lattes – butter is the new trend for coffee lovers.
Dave Asprey, the founder of Bulletproof Coffee, is credited with the trend. Asprey's recipe calls for blending the butter and coffee to make it a frothy, creamy drink.
He says everyone from celebrities to business executives are taking their morning coffee with butter now and drinking it in place of breakfast.
But not just any butter will do. The Bulletproof concoction requires you use two tablespoons of grass-fed butter because of its higher fat content.
Fans of the drink claim the butter's high-fat content will slow the time it takes for your body to metabolize the caffeine, giving you prolonged energy. However, critics of buttery coffee say it's not healthy.
DC VegFest, Capitol Bacon Festival Both Coming to Capitol Riverfront Saturday
Just a few blocks away from each other, veggie enthusiasts and bacon lovers will be gathering near Nats Park for food festivals this weekend.
The Vegetarian Society of DC founded DC VegFest, which "aims to highlight how easy and delicious it is to choose vegetarian foods in and around the nation's capital" in 1997.
Admission and food samples are free, and the festival will also feature more than 100 vendors, a beer garden, live music, cooking demos and presentations from authors and food celebs.
VegFest will be held at Yards Park in the Capitol Riverfront from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Then from 1 to 7 p.m., the inaugural Capitol Bacon Festival (at the Half Street Fairgrounds) will feature bacon eating contests, bacon cooking demonstrations, live music, bacon cooking competitions, full service bars and a vendor village.
Organizers describe the festival as a "bacon-themed block party."
General admission tickets are $25.
H Street Festival Will Have Marinara Dunk Tank, Eating Contests
Among other things, this year's H Street Festival (Sept. 20) will feature several eating contests and a marinara sauce dunk tank.
Pizza Parts & Service is behind the dunk tank; according to its Facebook page, buying two slices of pizza will also get you three free throws. If you manage to dunk someone, you'll get an entire pie on the house.
Po Boy Jim is hosting one of the eating contests, scheduled for 6:30 p.m. The winner will get a trophy and the opportunity to customize and name a po boy to be on special at the restaurant during the first week of October.
Ben's Chili Bowl will host its second annual half smoke eating contest, and the official H Street Festival events page says the Ben's Chili Bowl Fashion Stage (at 10th Street) will host burrito and pie eating contests, too.
Lots of H Street restaurants will also offer festival specials.
Testicle Festival Coming To D.C.
Just when you foodies thought you'd sampled everything D.C. has to offer, along comes The Festicle.
In case the title doesn't make it clear enough, it's a festival featuring a celebrity chef testicle cook-off. That's right, Rocky Mountain oyster fans. This is your chance to get your hands on some professionally-prepared animal genitals.
To be held at the D.C. fairgrounds (1299 Half Street SE) on Sept. 21, the event will also feature bands, "micro-wrestling" and aerial performances. Tickets cost between $20 and $25. You can purchase them here.
Festicle organizers advise you to "step right up and have a ball (literally)." No word on if there will be grilled wieners available for those who don't prefer roasted nuts.
For updates, follow TheFesticle on Twitter or Facebook.
Chuy's Opens Location in Fairfax
A favorite restaurant among Texans has opened its first location in northern Virginia.
Chuy's famous "big as yo' face" burritos, Chuychangas, margaritas and "Texas martinis" can now be found at 11219 Lee Highway in Fairfax.
The restaurant is known for fun decor, and this one will be no different.
There's already chatter about a nacho bar car, a nacho bar inside a vintage car trunk. Bonus — the nacho bar is free to visit during happy hour, according to Washingtonian.
It's National Cheeseburger Day!
It seems like every food has it's own "day" anymore, but if there's one you should celebrate as an American, it's this one.
It's National Cheeseburger Day, and we have lists of the best creative burgers in the District and in Baltimore.
Olive Garden Defends Report Attacking Its Breadsticks
You can get much further with a kind word and breadsticks than you can with a kind word alone. A famed Italian-American said that once… or something similar.
And Olive Garden's parent company (Darden Restaurants Inc.) said essentially the same thing Monday in response to a nearly 300-page report penned by restaurant investor Starboard Value that dissed the Italian chain's practice of liberally distributing breadsticks to customers.
Starboard is lobbying to gain control of Darden's board of directors at the company's annual meeting Oct. 10, according to the Associated Press.
But Darden, even though it has struggled to boost sales at Olive Garden recently, says its bread baskets convey "Italian generosity" and "have been an icon of brand equity since 1982."
To read more about the breadstick bickering, click here. Starboard also criticized Olive Garden's salad and dressing techniques, its apparently-unsalted pasta water and even the length of its asparagus spears.
Southern Comfort Introduces Gingerbread Spice Flavor
Everyone's all about pumpkin spice right now, but Southern Comfort is already looking ahead to the holidays.
Starting in October, you'll be able to buy a Gingerbread Spice-flavored version of the New Orleans liqueur, according to FoodBeast.
Be forewarned, though, traditional Southern Comfort is 35 percent alcohol by volume. At just 15 percent, the Gingerbread Spice flavor is considerably weaker.
Red Robin's Fall Menu Includes Baconized Shake
Through Nov. 2, of-age Red Robin fans will be able to enjoy a maple-y, bacon-y dessert along with their burgers and fries.
The Beam®-N-Bacon Boozy Shake is made with Jim Beam® Maple Bourbon, caramel and vanilla soft serve ice cream. It's topped with bacon bits AND a strip of candied bacon.
A spiced pumpkin pie milkshake that was introduced last year is back on the menu through Nov. 2, too.
McDonald's Trademarks 'McBrunch'
The trendy midday meal known as brunch isn't going anywhere, and it looks like the world's biggest fast food chain knows it.
McDonald's has filed a federal trademark registration for the word "McBrunch," according to Burger Business.
The report says the chain applied for a similar trademark back in 2001, too, but later abandoned the pursuit.
However, considering the restaurant's falling sales figures, the powers that be behind the golden arches may be looking to boost profits with fresh menu items.
As a matter of fact, The Associated Press wrote earlier this year that McDonald's was eyeing making breakfast available past its famous 10:30 a.m. cutoff time.
There has also been increased competition within the fast-food breakfast market recently (here's looking at you, Waffle Taco), which could have spurred Mickey D's to up its game.
Hershey's New Logo Causing A Stink
The Hershey Company has rolled out a new logo. Some like it, while others are saying it resembles an unappetizing emoji character. Read more and see the logo here.
Starbucks Announces Early Release of Pumpkin Spice Latte
Pumpkin lovers, rejoice! Fall is coming early. At least in the form of a latte.
Starbucks announced that the popular Pumpkin Spice Latte will be available on Aug. 26 instead of Sept. 1 this year. But you need a special password to get it.
Starbucks even went as far as creating a Twitter and Tumblr account for the Pumpkin Spice Latte.
The orange-sunglasses-wearing latte announced a "Spot the Spice" challenge to give the beverage's biggest fans an opportunity to bring the drink to their stores early. The account tweeted a daily clue beginning Aug. 21.
On Aug. 26, customers who show or say the password to a barista in their local Starbucks store will "unlock" the beverage early, making the seasonal latte available to everyone who visits the store.
The first customer who unlocks a store will be acknowledged by having his or her name displayed on an in-store sign.

Five Guys Testing Milkshakes in 3 Northern Va. Locations

The local test stores are the locations on Quander Road in Alexandria, Ox Road in Lorton and Stafford Market Place in Stafford.

Do You Pay Attention to the Salt Content of Your Food?
High sodium intake increases blood pressure, which is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, and most people consume nearly double the amount that is recommended by the World Health Organization.
While adults should get less than 2,000 milligrams of salt per day, the average intake is more like 3,950, according to a new report from The New England Journal of Medicine.
Calories are what most people look for when they are determining how healthy a food is, but salt content is also important to monitor.
Check out this list of the fast food dishes that contain the most sodium. Some menu items might surprise you, like the offenders from Starbucks and Subway.
Which Restaurants Have The Fastest Wi-Fi?
If you often find yourself making a decision on where to go for a meal or coffee based on the internet speeds available there, you'll want to read this.
According to a recent OpenSignal.com report, Starbucks blows other restaurants away when it comes to getting online. Thanks to Google, the chain's download speed is up to 9.01 megabits per second (mbps).
It's fastest competing food chain, McDonald's, is less than half that fast, at 4.187 mbps. After McDonald's comes Tim Horton's (1.901), Dunkin Donuts (1.723) and Panera (1.042).
All the Open Signal report's data on internet speeds comes from users of the OpenSignal app.
SNL Celebrates 40 Years By Making Jokes Like 'Schweddy Balls' A Reality

Dunkin' Donuts "Take a Bite, Take a Pic" For Shark Week
Shark Week has become a must-see and even celebrated television series on the Discovery Channel, and it begins again on Sunday.
Dunkin' Donuts decided to celebrate the return of Shark Week with their "Take a Bite, Take a Pic" promotion, where consumers snap a selfie taking a bite of a breakfast item.
It's not all for nothing, though. Those who post their photos with the hashtag #DDSHARKWEEK could have their photo featured on Discovery's "Shark After Dark" and Dunkin' Donuts' Times Square billboard, a Shark Week prize pack or a $100 Dunkin' Donuts gift card.

Richmond's Famous Sugar Shack Opening NoVa Location
Sugar Shack Donuts, a Richmond, Virginia staple, is opening another location in Alexandria.
The shop's first birthday was in June, but it has already made a USA Today list of the nation's best doughnuts.
The report said the store is "lovingly designed and run" and has "whimsical menu." Flavors include maple bacon, gingerbread and Samoa.
According to a August 4 Facebook post, the new store will open in a few months at 804 N. Henry Street and it will be run "in the exact same fashion" as the original. That means you can expect a lot of quirk.
Recently, Sugar Shack has tweeted photos of Pac-Man themed pastries and offers such as "free donuts for blowing a kiss to your favorite flavor."

Dunkin' Donuts Releases Coffee Donut
America's favorite donut and coffee chain already has several flavors of donut-flavored coffee, but now it has finally made a delicious move in the other direction.
Dunkin' Donuts shelves will now stock two new coffee-flavored donuts.
That's right, you can now sip donut-flavored coffee while chowing down on coffee-flavored donuts. It's a turvy topsy world.

Baltimore and D.C. Restaurant Weeks Are Upon Us
Baltimore Restaurant Week is here, but it's actually more like Baltimore Restaurant week-and-a-half. That means it will butt right up to the beginning of D.C.'s restaurant week, which begins on Aug. 11.
From Aug. 1 through Aug. 10, a slew of Charm City eateries will be offering two-course lunches for $15 and/or three-course dinners for $20-$30. Some will even offer brunch specials.
If you don't get your fill of fancy food in Baltimore, restaurants in D.C., northern Virginia and Maryland's D.C. suburbs will offer specials Aug. 11 through Aug. 17.
For a full list of participating Baltimore spots, visit BaltimoreRestaurantWeek.com. To book a table for the District's restaurant week, visit RAMW.org.
Wegmans Plans 2 New Locations Locally

All-You-Can-Eat Wings At Hooters Tuesday
Wear your loosest pants to work on Tuesday. In honor of National Chicken Wing Day, Hooters restaurants are offering an all-you-can-eat-deal on what is probably their most famous fare for just $12.99.
NationalChickenWingDay.com claims that Americans ate more than 27 billion chicken wings in 2013 and that 1.23 billion wings consumed during Super Bowl weekend alone.
In case you were wondering, July 29 has been National Chicken Wing Day, as proclaimed by then-Buffalo, New York Mayor Stan Makowski, since 1977.
Wendy's Testing Build-You-Own-Sandwich Concept
Beef or chicken? Pretzel bun or regular bun? And what kind of sauce? You'll have so many choices if the fast-casual style program Wendy's is testing in Ohio becomes a reality through the rest of the country.
According to QSR magazine, a build-your-own-sandwich program would allow customers to choose from burger or chicken patties, several cheeses, toppings like lettuce, tomato, red onion and seven different sauces.
New menu offerings and restaurant redesigns have been part of a "brand transformation that CEO Emil Brolick has stressed since coming on board in 2011," QSR reports.
You may have also noticed the new, millennial-friendly "Wendy's girl" in the chain's commercials and revamped logo.
Old Bay Doughnut Chicken Sandwich Makes Debut at Astro
Astro Doughnuts & Fried Chicken, which has a brick and mortar store on G Street NW and a food truck that operates in Virginia, launched its new Old Bay doughnut chicken sandwich today.
Two halves of an Old Bay doughnut (with Old Bay in the dough AND sprinkled on top) surround a fried chicken breast, locally sourced lettuce and tomato, and the customer's choice of bbq, blue cheese, ranch, Sriracha, buffalo, or honey mustard dressing.
The $9 sandwich will be sold Monday through Friday in the store and Tuesday through Saturday on the truck. No word on how long it will be on the menu, so get it while you can.
Gifford's Ice Cream, A Maine Favorite, Makes Push Into Capital Area
A long-loved ice cream company based in Maine is trying to break into the D.C. market, and it's spreading the word with an ice cream truck tour of the region.
The "Gifford's Good Times Ice Cream Truck" has been making the rounds in D.C., Maryland and Virginia since late June.
Gifford's expansion into the area follows its 2011 acquisition of Maryland-based Gifford's Ice Cream & Candy Co. Although the two companies share the same name and similar stories, the families are not related.
Gifford's products have recently been introduced to customers at Whole Foods Market, Balducci's, Wawa, and other grocery stores in the D.C. area. The "Good Times" truck has been increasing the company's local visibility even further.
And, on Monday, U.S. Senator Angus King hosted a Gifford's non-partisan ice cream social in his office to help his home state's company earn some fans.
It's worth mentioning that report about the expansion in the Portland Press Herald, a Maine newspaper, claims that competition in our area is "more fierce" than up north, "because ice cream sells better in the South, with its year-round warm weather."
We guess they missed the fact that the DMV endured about 5,000 snow storms this past winter, but that's OK. We will welcome their state's cool and creamy desserts to our store shelves, anyway.
We'll be @Wholefoodsgtown today from 12-2pm with more #free #icecream. #wfmsummerfun #freegiffordsicecream http://t.co/qluVPfF1kL—

DC Restaurant's Breakfast Sandwich Makes List of Must-Haves in the Nation
When people think of breakfast or brunch in the District, bottomless mimosas and bloody Mary bars are what come to mind first — the food is often an afterthought.
But one D.C. restaurant's hearty breakfast menu item recently made a popular food blog's list of "12 Must-Eat Breakfast Sandwiches Across America," and it's not taking a backseat to anything else on the table.
Red Apron's "Buenos Dias" — egg, chorizo, cheddar cheese, pickled onion and sour cream on an Italian tigelle — "is a South American riff on an Egg McMuffin," according to SeriousEats.com.
A tigelle, by the way, is a type of flatbread that's cooked in lard.
"Bolder flavors and heat from chorizo and pickled onion, the Buenos Dias is a more adventurous breakfast sandwich with a bit of a kick. Every edge is griddled and fried to perfection, each bite is a satisfying blend of crisp, rich, savory flavor."
And you can get all of that lardy goodness for just $5.50. A side of Red Apron's brewed coffee is just $2.50. Not bad. Not bad at all.
'Dogfish Inn' Now Taking Reservations
Can't decide what you like more, craft beer or the beach? No worries. Reservations are now being taken for the 16 rooms at the new Dogfish Inn in Lewes, Delaware.
"The Dogfish Inn brings Dogfish Head's signature off-centered approach to hotel culture and beer tourism," according to the brewery's website. It "celebrates the scenic beaches, charming towns and outdoor adventures coastal Delaware has to offer."
The inn, which is about 11.5 miles from the actual brewery in Milton and about 7 miles from the brewpub and restaurant in Rehoboth Beach, is basically an expansion of the Dogfish Head Brewmaster's Suite at the Inn at Canal Square, also in Lewes, which has already been around for nearly a decade.
To see photos of the quirky hotel, visit the Dogfish Inn website.
Behold: The Selfie Toaster

This is the same company that offers the Jesus toaster, the Edgar Allen Poe toaster and the peace sign toaster. Check out their other products here.

D.C.'s Native Food Cafés will be at 701 Pennsylvania Avenue NW and 1150 Connecticut Avenue NW, and will feature menu items like Seitan meatball subs, Tempeh atop kale with sesame sauce, non-dairy desserts and, of course, salads.
Lay's Announces Crazy Finalists in "Do Us A Flavor" Contest
The Frito-Lay company has announced the four finalists for its 2014 "Do Us A Flavor" contest. They are Cappuccino, Cheddar Bacon Mac & Cheese, Mango Salsa and Wasabi Ginger.

Appliance of the Future: Calorie-Counting Microwave
This sounds like something Joan Jetson would have.
General Electric researchers are working on perfecting the prototype of a device that can scan foods and deliver an approximate calorie count, reports the MIT Technology Review.
Matt Webster, the GE employee who invented the machine, says the technology may eventually be incorporated into a kitchen appliance such as a microwave. That would be particularly fitting, since it works by sending low-energy microwaves through the food it's measuring.
The prototype only works on "homogenous mixtures," according to the report, but GE scientists are hoping that more advanced versions will be able to count the calories in, say, an omelet or a cheeseburger.
The three data points used to measure the calories are fat content, water content and weight. Meanwhile, calories from sugar, fiber and protein "can be approximated by subtracting the water and fat weight from the total weight," the report says.
TGI Fridays Introduces Endless Apps
Endless summer? That's a pipe dream. Endless appetizers, however… that's attainable.
This week, TGI Fridays announced a summer-long promotion during which diners can choose any one appetizer from a list of the restaurant's most popular and receive unlimited refills of that starter during their visit.
The apps included in the promotion are: loaded potato skins, garlic & basil bruschetta, mozzarella sticks, boneless buffalo wings, tuscan spinach dip, crispy green bean fries, and pan-seared pot stickers.
So, is this going to bring in money for TGI Fridays this summer, or are people fill up on their chosen appetizers and then leave?
David Corsun, director of the University of Denver's Fritz Knoebel School of Hospitality Management, tells CBS News he's not sure the promotion was the best idea for the company.
"I hope for their sake they don't run it long-term," he says. "It's a loss-leader. They're not going to make money on it. They're trying to drive [customer] traffic — the question is whether they drive in the traffic they want."
The appetizer promotion comes on the heels of announcement that the Carlson Group is selling the chain to Sentinel Capital Partners and TriArtisan Capital Partners.
Good to the last bite. If there were a last bite. $10 gets you Endless Apps. #EndlessApps #GetAPPy http://t.co/ijfsmcUhKg—

General Mills Takes a Page From Taco Bell's Book
Great news for those of you who love nacho cheese-flavored taco shells so much that you need access to them 24 hours per day, not just until the drive through closes at 2 a.m.
The Old El Paso brand of Mexican foods, owned by General Mills, is riding the wave that began with Taco Bell's Doritos Locos Taco.
Coming soon to your local grocery store: the Old El Paso Bold Taco Kit. It includes 10 "Stand 'n Stuff" hard taco shells "blasted with nacho cheese flavoring inside and out."
At a 7-Eleven Near You: 3-D Doritos Filled With Cheese
As if taquitos, Big Bites and Slurpees weren't enough temptation, 7-Eleven now stocks a snack that is basically a 3-D Dorito filled with cheese.
Doritos Loaded® cost $1.99 for a four-pack. They are apparently crunchy on the outside, encrusted with the classic Doritos Nacho Cheese flavoring, and melty on the inside. They are also served warm and come in a handy to-go box.
A news release says Doritos Loaded® were actually first tested in a few D.C.-area stores earlier this year, and the locals who discovered them "created demand for the product." Way to go, D.C. snackers!
You can find the closest 7-Eleven store that stocks Doritos Loaded® at doritos.7-eleven.com.

From the Publisher
"This is one of the most extraordinary, clever, beautiful, and impeccably researched books I have read in years. A fascinating story deftly told—and, for me at least, ideally read with Bach's thirty-six movements playing softly in the background; a recipe for literary rapture."—Simon Winchester, author of the New York Times best-seller The Professor and the Madman
"Vividly chronicles [Siblin's] international search for the original, and unfound, Bach score Mr. Siblin's book is well researched, and filled with enough anecdotes to engage even the classical-music aficionado but the book is best distinguished by its writing. To vivify music in words is not easy. But Mr. Siblin rises to the task Read The Cello Suites—preferably with their melodious hum in the background—and you will never look at a cello in quite the same way again."—The Economist
"This is rich terrain, and Siblin's book is an engrossing combination of musical and political history spiced with generally vivid descriptions of the cello suites themselves [Siblin] has given us a compelling portrait of a passionate, prickly Bach, of Casals, a musician who was also politically engaged, and an engrossing cast of secondary characters. Best of all, The Cello Suites makes us want to pop in a CD and really listen to those cello suites. Awesome."—Wynne Delacoma, Chicago Sun-Times
"A work of ever-percolating interest. Mr. Siblin winds up mixing high and low musical forms, art and political histories, Bach's and Casals's individual stories and matters of arcane musicology into a single inquisitive volume."—Janet Maslin, The New York Times
"The ironies of artistic genius and public taste are subtly explored in this winding, entertaining tale of a musical masterpiece Siblin is an insightful writer with an ability to convey the sound and emotional impact of music in words."—Publishers Weekly
"Engaging and imaginative a charming narrative."—Melinda Bargreen, The Seattle Times
"The author has done a wealth of research in pursuit of his new passion, and he writes engagingly this intrepid writer has worked hard to interest readers in his musical obsession, and there is a great deal to chew on here."—Priscilla S. Taylor, he Washington Times
"It's not often that one begins reading a book with mild interest and then can't put it down, which happened to me with this beautiful book."—Diana Athill, author of Stet and Somewhere Towards the End
The Cello Suites is, on all counts, a superior book."
-QWF McAuslan First Book Prize Jury citation
" an ambitious, carefully researched, and inventively constructed book written with clarity and verve."—Mavis Gallant Prize for Nonfiction Jury Citation
"A delightfully quirky quest Eric Siblin seamlessly weaves together the tale of how Bach's lost and mostly forgotten manuscript came to be discovered a century later by Pablo Casals, and finally became Siblin's personal passion."—Governor General's Literary Award Jury Citation
"A book of extraordinary charm, insight, and widespread literary appeal."—BC National Award for Canadian Nonfiction Jury Citation
"Siblin firmly believes 'Bach is what you make of him'—and his book represents just that No matter what the great composer means to readers, they will surely enjoy Siblin's fun, fast-paced journey from pop-music scribbler to Bach aficionado."—Christian Science Monitor
"A book that will fascinate anyone who loves Bach's music. . .engaging. . .Many of the facts woven into textual fabric glitter like metal threads as Siblin shifts the reader's focus from one protagonist to the other. The result are rich depictions of Bach in his 18th-century milieu and Casals in his 20th-century sphere. . . The author's colorful prose conveys substantial charm, and reveals a first-rate travel writer's sense of place. . .sets biographical and musicological details neatly in context."—David Lander, Stereophile

Originally written on Steelers Depot | Last updated 11/14/14
With the Pittsburgh Steelers possibly needing to make a roster move this weekend to promote wide receiver David Gilreath to the roster because of the ankle injury suffered by wide receiver Antonio Brown this past Sunday, I originally speculated that veteran quarterback Charlie Batch could be released for the weekend without issue and resigned to the roster on Tuesday. There is only one problem now with that scenario as a follower on Twitter pointed out to me. I failed to remember that the NFL trade deadline has now come and gone which means that all vested veterans now are subject to the waiver Read more [...]

Native advertising is having its big moment. When done right, it has tremendous pull with consumers. According to Nielsen, native ads produce as much as an 82% in brand lift. An infographic from MDG Advertising says 70% of individuals reported that they would prefer "to learn about products through content rather than through traditional advertising."

Barnes & Noble announced it will be offering its popular e-reader, Nook, to customers in Britain. According to the New York Times, this move will put Nook in direct international competition with Amazon's Kindle, which has been available in Britain for a few years.
When the Nook is released in Britain, users will have more than 2.5 million book, magazine, and newspaper titles to choose from. The company is looking to release black-and-white e-readers upon initial launch in October while holding off on the color tablet.

Tampa police close LSD investigation with no answers about tainted meat11/16/14 Public Safety
TAMPA — Before Elyana Serrano threw up, her sister Rayna was laughing and trying to grab colors out of the air. When Ronnie Morales looked at his hand, he saw several other hands jutting from his wrist. His pregnant girlfriend, Jessica Rosado, couldn't feel her fingers or toes.

TAMPA — The Florida Highway Patrol corrected a report Wednesday that misidentified the driver in a Sept. 7 wrong-way crash that killed three people on Interstate 275.
The agency now says Lakritra Lanier was the driver of a Honda sedan that slammed into a semitrailer early that morning, killing her and her sister, Gabrielle Lanier, and their friend, John Pierson.
Previously, troopers mistakenly said that Gabrielle, 33, was the driver and that when the crash happened, she had a blood-alcohol content of 0.17, more than twice the legal limit of 0.08. Their revised report names Lakritra, 31, as the driver and notes it was she who had the 0.17 blood-alcohol level, not her sister....

A request for proposals, filed late last month with the city's purchasing department, outlines plans for the cameras, which will be used to keep records of officer interactions with citizens.
The department will purchase the first 60 from a selected vendor and distribute 20 each to the city's three patrol districts, Tampa police spokeswoman Andrea Davis said. The first cameras will be issued to officers on Jan. 1....

New answers tagged xor
This question as stated actually has a fairly interesting and unintuitive answer. Assuming an 8 byte 64 bit xor key and your test for printable ascii characters then after a megabyte of correct data your chances of having the right key are... about one in four billion. This is completely independent of how much data you have or verify, 1/2^32 is the maximum ...
It turns out that this is not very difficult to solve. It also looks like this is part of a public cryptography challenge, so rather than giving it all away, I'll just provide you with a couple of pointers. First take a look at this: There is a clear repeating pattern every 5 bytes. This suggests two things: (i) an XOR key with a length of 5 was used ...
We define $T$ as: $T(B) = (b_0,b_1,b_2,b_3)$ We use $D$ to represent the difference of $X$ and $Y$: $D = X \oplus Y$ Compute $T(D)$: $T(D) = (d_0,d_1,d_2,d_3)$ $= (x_0 \oplus y_0, x_1 \oplus y_1, x_2 \oplus y_2, x_3 \oplus y_3)$ $=(x_0,x_1,x_2,x_3) \oplus (y_0,y_1,y_2,y_3)$ which is by definition of $T$: $T(X) \oplus T(Y)$
