I would guess that 20-25% of people I see walking in my sidewalk-free suburban area understand the correct side of the street to walk on (i.e. against traffic). Do people not learn this anymore? It seems like a relatively simple principle but so many don’t know it… 🤔.

Email from Eataly: are you team marinara or team pesto?. Why are we like this? I don’t want to pick a team!.

I mean, I guess wraps are always awful if you are either a) talking about the ones served at corporate meetings or b) don’t know how to make a good sandwich. Otherwise I don’t get the hate. PS yes wraps are sandwiches.

New rule: when a headline ends with “according to [some expert],” it is the furthest thing one can find from expertise.

The fact that this article leads with their photos proves that old school restaurant criticism is dead.

Hotel in Abruzzo Italy. Apparently the staff has to submit a report each week documenting their successes to stay employed.

I’ve never been bothered by slang names for sandwich (sando, sammich, etc.) in casual speech, but for some reason it bugs me to see these terms in writing.

Just watched someone make a toasted avocado uncrustable. So that’s it. We’ve made every possible recipe… there must be no more ideas.
