Food roundup for april 28

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

Cafe Society reports that New Belgium Brewing will be rolling out Sunshine Wheat, its second canned beer. The new canned beer will be available only in Colorado, however, if sales are strong it could begin making its way to other states.

Who says canned beer can’t be classy?

In bacon news, Fat City pays tribute to the Bacone, the BaconCamp invention that’s taking the culinary world by storm. Or at the very least, taking cholesterol counts up a few notches.

On a totally unrelated note, Gail Shepherd is staging a mini Food Film Festival. Some of the noteworthy entries include Big Night, Ratatouille, and Like Water For Chocolate, but there’s plenty more where those came from.

And lastly, in Ask the Bartender, someone finally inquires about the proper protocol for those tiny little straws you get with your cocktail. Personally, we generally opt to spend a couple minutes sipping from them like a total goober before we get all self conscious and end up reasserting our manliness by stabbing someone with one of those little pirate sword toothpicks they serve in fruity drinks. But, that’s just our method.
