In the second news posting of the day, the Dallas Morning Times considers which wines pair best with cheese grits.

I hadn’t planned on blogging about food news, but this week, four articles caught my eye. All are related to food, but on a scale slightly larger than the kitchen.
First, Michael Specter’s piece in the New Yorker, “Big Foot“. Specter starts with the British grocery store chain, Tesco and its desire to label products [...]
