Food roundup for april 22 1

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

• Eating Our Words kicks things off with a look at the five most cringeworthy restaurant commercials. And yes, that Quizno’s rat puppet monstrosity is just as bad as you remembered.

• Short Order gets all eco-conscious for Earth Day and offers four tips for eating greener. We’d heed their advice, but we’re too busy fileting dolphins…

• Voracious goes back in time and examines some 80’s food trends and what they say about you as a chef. Don’t worry, the article comes blackened and on a small plate.

• And lastly, Clean Plate Charlie takes us down under for this week’s edition of Cheap Wine That Doesn’t Suck. Yellow Tail Chardonnay: absolutely perfect for events where bringing a bottle of Charles Shaw will make you feel slightly too cheap.
