I’m in Denver for the annual Great American Beer Festival, the largest beer festival in the country. More than 800 breweries are here pouring more than 4,000 beers—and that’s just inside the festival itself. Outside of the three-day event, there are countless tap takeovers, brunches, happy hours, special beer…

While I’m in Denver for the three-day drinking marathon known as the Great American Beer Festival, beer and food have been on my mind even more than they usual are (if that’s possible). Specifically, I’ve been more mindful of the ways a particular beer can draw out a dish’s flavors, or the way that a certain bite can…

News that Kylie Jenner has, for the first time in her 21 years on earth, tried cereal with milk has rocked the Twittersphere, in the way meaningless shit on social media diverts our attention like jangling keys in front an infant (For the record, it was Cinnamon Toast Crunch, which receives her seal of approval, and…

This isn’t a story about the merits of the keto diet—I’m not a nutritionist, please ask your doctor any and all medical questions, etc. No, this is a story about supportive coworkers, a positive work environment, and a Sprouts supermarket in Katy, Texas. Good Morning America recently profiled five employees of said…

Do you care what Jim Gaffigan’s beer preferences are? I really don’t. His whole schtick is that he’s a goofy, uncool dad, so whatever brewski he likes to crack open after mowing the lawn and coaching T-ball is none of my concern. Sierra Nevada Pale Ale? Sam Adams Boston Lager? Bud Light Lime-A-Rita? Whatever, man. But…

Manassas, Virginia police responded to a strange incident late Saturday afternoon at a Giant Food location. The store’s loss-prevention employee—someone whose job it is to watch for theft—reportedly noticed a man selecting produce off the shelf, sticking it down his pants, rubbing it on his butt, and returning the…

During high school and college summers, I waited tables at a French bistro near my hometown to earn money for college textbooks, cell phone bills, and terrible red highlights. (I cringe now, but this was the Christina Aguilera era.) The job opened my eyes to the realities of working in a restaurant, from kitchen drama…

Today was strange. Did everybody get that feeling? After dumping coffee on your lap on the train and walking into the wrong morning meeting, in the midst of taking a hopefully solace-filled Twitter break at lunch, you probably came across the following announcement on your feed:

The Time-lauded “Silence Breakers” movement started in September with revelations about sexual harassment and assault accusations against Hollywood uber-producer Harvey Weinstein. Although the original New York Times article containing those revelations led to a virtual avalanche of stories about other alleged (and…

You wouldn’t be the first person to stare with glazed eyes at the non-stop cable news feed and think “Our country is so, so very screwed.” But what can ordinary citizens really do to make a difference? We can march. We can protest. We can sign online petitions demanding fast-food restaurants bring back our favorite…

Actress Chelsea Peretti’s preferred technique of eating cake—by carefully avoiding the frosting in favor of an all-sponge experience—garnered much discussion on Twitter over the weekend.

At what point does a terrible tattoo become a deal-breaker? Something racist or misogynist, sure, but what about just the truly juvenile and cringe-worthy? (I ask because I once saw a man at a music festival—his name was Chad—with “Chadillac” tattooed in the Cadillac script across his entire stomach.) If someone had,…

Lobster meat is delicious, but as we’ve discussed, getting a live lobster from tank to plate isn’t one of our favorite activities. It’s hard not to feel bad for the spiny crustaceans, which is what motivated Maine restaurant owner Charlotte Gill to employ an unorthodox, “humane” method at her eatery: she says the…

Is there anything better than a nicely roasted rotisserie chicken from the store? Just pick one of those bad boys up, and you’ve got dinner already halfway made. Depending on the size of your family, though, you might end up with a few pieces of leftover bird. In honor of our rotisserie chicken smackdown (and we’ve…

Dinara Kasko was an architect before she became a pastry chef, and it’s evident in her use of fascinating shapes and angles that look more like art than dessert. According to this brief Core 77 piece, Kasko uses 3D printers to create the molds. However she creates these incredible pieces, I can’t stop scrolling…

Communion wafers don’t taste good. They don’t taste like much of anything, in fact, so why is it that the paper-thin hosts, as the Church calls them, are so damn satisfying to munch on? The Takeout has already explored the mass appeal of communion wafers, tracing 80 percent of the wafers used in U.S. churches to just…

Owen Lefkovits will probably grow up to run a Fortune 500 company, mark our words. The precocious Georgia 10-year-old has already created his own business—O.L. Vending—and overcome start-up costs, inventory issues, and equipment troubles to create a profitable business. Except that he donates those profits to his…

I wasn’t expecting to think so deeply about the ethics of all-you-can-eat sushi this morning, but here we are. Recent reports that a German triathlete was asked not to return to a restaurant after consuming too much all-you-can-eat sushi have me considering what exactly the moral limits are of an all-you-can-eat…
