Food roundup for december 2

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

• Cafe Society gets things started by pointing out the benefits of dining solo. Number one on the list: being mercilessly judged by total strangers.

​

• Fat City bemoans the annoying trend of misbehaved children at restaurants in an article appropriately titled, “Train them or keep ’em home!“

• Another installment of Pairing Off seeks out the perfect wine to go with beef jerky. As if Franzia isn’t already the clear winner.

• And lastly, Short Order gets their hands dirty with a list of the top five food fights on film. This might be the first and last list in which Animal House and Problem Child 2 appear side-by-side.
