Food roundup for september 25

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

Cafe Society gets us inspired for some weekend workouts with a list of ten weight-loss ads that make us want to hurl (and watch the pounds melt away!) We’re not sure how Suzanne Somers’ ThighMaster missed the cut, but at least Tony Little and The Gazelle are there to represent.

​

Clean Plate Charlie offers a write up of Lefthand Chainsaw Ale as the beer of the week. Apparently one is enough, but we’re still willing to give it a try.

Fat City further dissects the cupcake trend, explaining how the tiny treats can be used for personal expression. We’ll stick with just eating them.

And lastly, if a cupcake doesn’t suit your fancy, Eating Our Words has a recipe for bourbon sweet potato pecan pie. It sounds diabetic-tastic.
