Yummy Link: Magnolia Bakery Shut Down by the Dept. of Health

YumSugar — Wed, 11 Jul 2007 12:33:25 -0700

In a story that's still developing, the Department of Health has shut down the famous Magnolia Bakery. Apparently it's a lack of sinks - and not rats - that has caused the shut down. Guess you'll just have to make Magnolia cupcakes at home until it reopens.

Update: Magnolia has issued an official statement stating that they've operated for 10 years without this sink.

Update 2: The Department of Health has allowed Magnolia to reopen now that they've installed a new sink.

Do Food Bloggers Affect the Food Industry?

YumSugar — Fri, 15 Jun 2007 06:30:18 -0700

Mario Batali recently got an opportunity to tell us exactly how he feels about food bloggers. The article, entitled Why I Hate Food Bloggers is an interesting read, however the comments are where things really get interesting. Some people feel that real journalism has its faults as well, while others agree with Mario, saying that food blogs have become too tabloidy and publish first, fact check later. The whole thing makes me wonder, do you think food bloggers affect the food industry?

Yummy Links: From Mocklate to Sam Talbot

Don't let them F with our chocolate folks. The FDA wants to change the definition of chocolate to include products that do not include cocoa butter. This means that consumers can purchase things labeled as chocolate, but are really "mocklate" chocolate coating. Sneaky ploy for new marketing if you ask me... - Candyblog

Yummy Link: Burrito Eater

YumSugar — Fri, 15 Jun 2007 04:18:31 -0700

If you're not aware, San Francisco is home to many taquerias (dare I say a bajillion?) and when you're craving a burrito, picking an establishment can sometimes be a daunting experience. Thankfully someone has chowed down 481 burritos to determine which one is best. The list keeps growing each day, and my favorite part is that the burritos are rated in mustaches. - Burrito Eater
