Food roundup for july 8

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

In this week’s fun game of “I’m Eating What?!” Clean Plate Charlie takes on Grass Jelly…in a can of course.

Aww, I prefer my grass jelly fresh.

Bites’ Carrington Fox is reporting on one of our favorite impossible tasks, the “gallon challenge.” We’ve still never seen it stay down for a whole hour afterward.

Another installment of Pairing Off seeks out the perfect wine pairing for a corn dog and Eating Our Words has the top 5 cold drinks (alcoholic version.)

And lastly, also in booze news, Owen Morris reports on the Knob Creek bourbon shortage of ’09. Would it be an overstatement to call this a national tragedy?
