Food roundup for july 21

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

City of Ate is making us feel poor by talking up some of the fanciest wine cellars money can buy. Still, we’re content to keep repeating, “money can’t buy happiness,” over and over until we finally get all tuckered out.

In binge eating news, SFoodie has the scoop on a new food challenge that involves a $22 bowl of pho, 2 pounds of noodles, and 2 pounds of beef and tripe. Finish it in under an hour and you score yourself a free meal.

Meanwhile, Eating Our Words is doing a public service by offering up the 5 foods you shouldn’t eat on a date.

And lastly, this week’s installment of Ask the Bartender finally answers the age old question, shaken or stirred? Looks like we can thank James Bond for all the controversy.
