Food roundup for may 19

Here’s what was being written about today in food and dining news:

Fork in the Road discusses The Simpsons’ take on food safety and going green. Krusty’s vegetarian burger sounds like a winner to us.

Today’s Waiter Confidential reveals an embarrassing and awkward conversation between a couple while dining out. We’re not sure exactly what the woman is talking about, but it seems like there’s more to it than just “solitaire.”

This week’s Ask the Bartender gives some insight into the mysterious glass rinser you often see at bars.

And lastly, today offers up a whole slew of alcohol related news, with Clean Plate Charlie and SFoodie both contributing “cheap wines that don’t suck.” The first is a Torres “Sangre del Toro” and the second is Domaine Voarick Crémant de Bourgogne. Meanwhile, in case neither of those are to your liking, Gut Check’s Dave Nelson has a rundown on some of the new crop of rosés. Between all 10 wines listed, there should be something for everyone.
