Wow Bao: TidBit of the Day
There is something so comforting about a steamed bao – the Chinese-styled bun that keeps lovely hidden goodies inside. They can sweet (bean paste) to savory (roast pork and sausage). This cool joint, Wow Bao, in Chicago takes baos to a whole new level. It includes breakfast ones (including eggs and sausage) to lunch/dinner (including [...]
Watt’s Grocery: TidBit of the Day
This is a rather delinquent tidbit…I’ve been going to Watt’s Grocery in Durham, NC since I moved here, and while I have many, many favorites, Watt’s has remained as one of the top for its consistent ability to simple wow. For those of you in the area, you know what I’m talking about. For those [...]
Jaleo Vegas: TidBit of the Day
I’ve been to Jaleo in Bethesda, MD several times, but finally made it to their newer location in Vegas at the Cosmopolitan. One of the few full-service restaurants open late, it never fails to impress. José Andrés always knows that good food starts with fresh ingredients. Especially for those late nights…or rather, early dinner before [...]

Want to shop at the farmer’s market, but can’t make it there every week? A small team of lovers of food and farmers make up the LoMo Market, which stand for lo-cal and mo-bile. Get it? LoMo Market travels in a truck pulling a refrigerated trailer, making established stops in various neighborhoods around the Research [...]
Sympathy for the Deli: TidBit of the Day
Another wonderful new Durham food truck (Durham is popping with great ones!), Sympathy for the Deli, serving up deli sandwiches with locally-sourced, hand-cured meats, like this great French Dip. Although I love sandwiches, I don’t always go out for them – or make them – not sure why, but this is one stop I’d make [...]
Berenbaum’s: TidBit of the Day
You remember how some Panera Breads decided to do away with the cash register? Their pay-what-you-want scheme has proven that most people pay full prices. Well, as mentioned yesterday, Durham’s Berenbaum’s (who will be at the Bull City Food Exchange at Fullsteam on May 6), has an open-sourced policy. Folks pay for what they think [...]
Early Girl Eatery: TidBit of the Day
Asheville, North Carolina is known for great food. This awesome find is meat-eater and vegan-eater friendly. Put Early Girl Eatery on your list when heading to the mountains.
Body of Evidence: TidBit of the Day
Interesting New York Times article last week by Tara Parker-Pope that while the media has made unrealistic super-skinny the “norm,” as a country, we are in denial of how overweight we are. According to one study, those in the normal weight range accurately estimated their body size 80% of the time, compared with 58% of [...]

One out of six children in Philadephia goes hungry every day. Director Jamie Moffett’s new documentary, The Cost of Food, follows what happens to 40,000 donated seeds to the Philadelphia Prison System by a horticultural society. See how one person CAN make a difference in fighting hunger. Check out their trailer or contact them to [...]
