Food Network names new Dinner: Impossible chef

Apparently, Food Network has announced the new Dinner: Impossible chef to be Chef Michael Symon. You may remember Chef Symon as the chef who won the Next Iron Chef challenge and currently also stands as on of the American Iron Chefs.

It looks like they’re also changing the format of the show and making it an [...]

“Downer” cows entered food supply

It’s been reported that “Downer” cows entered the food supply. The president of Westland/Hallmark Meat Company admitted that a couple of “downer” cows could have entered the food supply. Prior to this, he had said that no such cows have entered the food supply. So now, he’s admitting he’s wrong.

“Downer” cows is the term used [...]

How clean is your water?

It seems the phrase “Don’t drink the water” can now be applied to water in the USA. You might may recall cybrpunk being sick because he drank some water in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Well, what if you went to a restaurant in San Francisco and got sick too?

Apparently, prescription drugs are being distributed into the [...]

Robert Irvine of Dinner Impossible – Liar and a Chef?

I realize this is old news, but I thought I had to say something about it. If you haven’t heard, it appears that the star of Food Network’s Dinner Impossible, Robert Irvine, apparently lied about various work experiences on his website and books.

McDonald’s goes feng shui

In California, a McDonald’s tries something different, and designs it’s interior with Feng Shui way in mind. What would you think if you walked into a McDonalds, only to find all the plastic seating and tables, replaced with leather seating, earth tones, and water fixtures throughout the restaurant? It would probably give to a very [...]

143 million pounds of meat recalled

This is a crosspost from hello! Yoshi

If you read my hello! food website, you might recall that I wrote a post about the USDA inspection process being shoddy. Well, now we start the process of making up for it. The USDA orders recall of 143 million pounds of beef. From the article, But Dick Raymond, [...]

Is the USDA inspection process shoddy?

Perhaps you’ve heard of the video that was released by the Humane Society from a Chino slaughterhouse. Watching this video makes me truly sad. Now, the USDA is under criticism. No, not for the treatment of the cows (which should be under investigation already) but for allowing mistreated cattle to go through the meat inspection [...]
