Food roundup for april 6

Here’s what’s being written about today in the world of food and dining news:

Short Order gives an endorsement to the Applebee’s 2 for $20 deal. Although we’re actually convinced it should be called the 3 for $20 deal, since the appetizer could easily be included in the tally. Why not add one more item and make the value seem even more impressive? Unless of course they’re trying not to make it seem too good to be true.

In booze news, Finlandia’s new Tangerine Fusion flavor of vodka has been sending out peel ‘n’ lick samples. We’re totally bummed we didn’t get one, since we’re huge fans of vodka, stickers, and licking stamps.

Also, Fat City chimes in with the surprising truth about just how many people apply to be servers. Right now applications are pouring in at an alarming rate, however, if worse comes to worst we’re sticking with our own proven method of dealing with unemployment. Scratch tickets.

And lastly, if you’ve been wondering when wine goes bad, The Hot Dish has the answer. However, if you’re staring at a box, a jug, or a $3 bottle you picked up from a Trader Joe’s endcap, you might be able to just skip this article all together.
