In an attempt to bounce back from earlier challenges this year, Taco Bell's launched its new Pacific Shrimp Taco and Pacific Shrimp Burrito, just in time for Lent. Both are made with soft flour tortillas, creamy avocado ranch, fiesta salsa, lettuce, and "six succulent shrimp, marinated in spices."

Seeking out shellfish at fast-food establishments can be a questionable endeavor, so we ask: was TB's Pacific Shrimp small on flavor? To find out the answer, check out a full review of both new menu items at Slashfood.

There's something so enticing about a cocktail that incorporates rosemary. In most drink recipes, like the one seen here, the rosemary is muddled in a cocktail shaker, so the finished libation has an earthy, fresh, woodsy quality, but no chunks of the actual herb. This concoction is especially alluring because it combines the subtle kiss of rosemary with vibrant, tart citrus. Although the base spirit is vodka, a Champagne float sits on top of the glass, giving the drink a delightful effervescence. It's a wonderfully elegant beverage, and I recommend serving it at a sophisticated soirée. Ready for the recipe? Keep reading.

We're one step closer to knowing who'll take home top honors in this year's James Beard Awards — the so-called "Oscars of the food world." Semifinalists were announced a month ago, and they included the likes of Stephanie Izard, Michael Symon, and Suzanne Goin. The awards, which will be newly sponsored by Groupon and hosted by Tom Colicchio, Ming Tsai, and Traci Des Jardins, won't happen until May 9.

To see which of the 29,000 nominations submitted this year have made it to the finals, read more.

Hardee's and Carl's Jr. are better known for their This Is Why You're Fat-esque monstrosities, but the chains' parent company, CKE Restaurants, has begun trending the other way. Today, the two chains will become the first fast-food establishments to introduce a turkey burger as a permanent menu item.

Each of the four new Charbroiled Turkey Burgers will clock in at under 500 calories — as opposed to, say, Carl's Jr.'s Double Six Dollar Burger, which tallies up to be 1,522 calories and 110 grams of fat. What's more, the product launch will include a marketing campaign with Men's Health magazine and the bestselling book series Eat This, Not That — as well as advertisements featuring the former Miss Turkey in a bikini.

It would seem there's no such thing as moderation in fast food. These days, it's either all (see: the KFC Double Down and BK Stuffed Steakhouse) or next to nothing (Subway's low-fat egg white breakfast sandwiches). Do you agree?

March is such an interesting time of year for seasonal eating: Fall and Winter fruits and veggies are still hanging around the markets, and fresh Spring produce is making an appearance as well. Soon you'll be stocking up on asparagus, artichokes, and strawberries, but consider taking advantage of the last vestiges of the colder season while you still can with tiny, sweet-tart kumquats.The diminutive fruit is in season from January through April, and although it resembles a miniature orange, it may not be a citrus fruit at all — the jury is still out, but some scientists believe it belongs in its own genus, called Fortunella. A kumquat's flavor is almost like an inside-out tangerine; the edible rind is surprisingly sweet and mild, while the flesh is mouth-puckeringly tart. To maintain their sweet/tart balance, kumquats are typically used whole. A few ways to enjoy them, when you read more.
