Food roundup for june 26

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

Just in case we haven’t already had enough Michael Jackson tributes, Fork in the Road was kind enough to remind us of MJ’s Pepsi commercial from back in the 80s. Enjoy.

On a less somber note, Short Order has another dose of Friday Food Funnies. This week’s quotes are all about bread, so grab some toast and give ’em a read.

In booze news, City of Ate has some words on everyone’s favorite homegrown hooch: moonshine!

And lastly, Clean Plate Charlie’s Ask the Critic segment discusses whether it’s acceptable to reduce the amount you tip during an economic downturn. We’d say build the extra 20 percent into the price of your meal, and if you can’t afford it, go somewhere else.
