Today’s end-of-the-day news chum brings together a number of articles all related to dining or food:
- Truly Honest Reviews. What do you get when your food critic is 4-years old? You get this wonderful series of pictures wherein a 4-year old reviews Mission Chinese in San Francisco.
- Loving That Chinese Food. Let’s continue on the Chinese food theme. Here’s a guy that has eaten at almost 3,000 Chinese restaurants, and has kept a written record of all of them. In doing so, he’s traced the history of Chinese food in Los Angeles.
- An Apple A Day. My favorite type of apple is the Newtown Pippin. Alas, you never see them any more — nor most of the old varietals. This article explains why you only see 5 types of apples, and what one man is doing about it.
- Coffee, Tea, or …. Before there was Starbucks, and before there was Peets, there was Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, a local chain in Los Angeles. They still do their roasting locally, and here’s a picture essay to prove it.
