Food roundup for august 3

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

Fat City has yet another rundown on Vio, the seemingly ill conceived new carbonated milk beverage from Coca-Cola. We’re not sure how it could possibly be good, but then again, we said the same thing about Pepsi Jazz and look how well that turned out.

Good idea or great idea?

​

In TV news, Clean Plate Charlie offers a look at what’s new in food related television. And yes, the new season of Top Chef is just weeks away.

Meanwhile, Chow Bella questions the president’s choice in beer. After the Grey Poupon fiasco we can only imagine he was trying to shy away from seeming elitist, but Bud Light? C’mon!

And lastly, in tales from the kitchen, Short Order recounts an anecdote of knife handling skills gone horribly awry. Stories like this kind of make you feel marginally more skillful just for having all your finger in tact.
