Food roundup for may 8

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

Fat City’s Owen Morris discusses Absinthe, possibly the most over hyped nonsense since Y2K.

That’s right, a Y2K joke. So what?

Seattle Weekly offers up a timeline of stories commenting on bacon-mania overstaying its welcome. Apparently Bacon has been played out since July of 2007 but someone forgot to tell the internet.

Fork in the Road covers the highly newsworthy condiment choice of President Obama. We guarantee you none of the reporters at Fox News would ever be caught eating a fancy French mustard.

And lastly, Short Order has some amusing food related quotes for a bit of light reading as we head on into the weekend. Enjoy.
