Food roundup for august 11

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

Voracious’s Brian Miller bemoans the poor choice in name for Taco Bell”s new Volcano Nachos. His suggestion for an additional Taco Bell product: The Projectile Burrito.

Fat City provides some helpful tips regarding which chefs you should follow on Twitter. We said it before and we’ll say it again, don’t follow Guy Fieri.

And lastly, Clean Plate Charlie has another suggestion for anyone out there keeping tabs on cheap wine that doesn’t suck. Today’s installment is a Merlot that even Paul Giamatti’s character in Sideways might be willing to try.
