Food roundup for may 22

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

Fat City’s Owen Morris discusses the potentially astronomical tax hikes on beer, wine, and liquor. Why can’t the government just boost taxes on non-essential items instead?

Short Order tosses a bit of heat at those “nofunsters at the FDA” and their gosh darned BBQ and food safety guidelines. Like we need The Man telling us to wash to wash our hands after touching raw meat. C’mon!

City of Ate asks the question, “How Do You Define ‘Fine Dining’?” Surprisingly, the answer involves more than just being able to order from a menu instead of a giant board above the counter.

And lastly, in booze news, it sounds like Pacifico is now offering a 7oz bottle in select markets. However, why you’d want a smaller beer is beyond us.
