Sihung Lung serving himself at the table in a scene from the film ‘Eat Drink Man Woman’, 1994. | Buena Vista International/Getty Images 15 ideas to kick off 2023 with lots of food and drink A version of this post originally appeared on December 31, 2022, in Stephanie Wu’s newsletter, “From the Editor,” a roundup of the most vital news and stories in the food world. Read the archives and subscribe now . We’ve made it to the final day of 2022. New Year’s Eve ranks among my favorite holidays, largely because I have a tradition of getting together with friends from high school that I typically haven’t seen in quite some time. There’s something sweet about an end-of-year celebration that doubles as a reunion and a chance to catch up with old friends. But New Year’s Day? My typical MO is not to make any plans whatsoever, in case I’m in recovery mode and want to stay in bed until way past noon. Late nights out are a lot harder now that I have a toddler at home, so this year, I sur...

Image
Shutterstock Any occasion is a good one to drink Champagne, but for those looking for the perfect holiday host, sommelier Lauren Friel has some tips It’s almost the holidays, and as we celebrate the season and ring in the New Year, many of us will be popping open a bottle of bubbly: prosecco, Lambrusco, pét-nat, cava, and of course, Champagne.

Thankfully, Gastropod is here to help. In the latest episode, co-hosts Cynthia Graber and Nicola Twilley break down the science and history behind sparkling wine, from the monks and widows, kings and celebrities who made it so special, to the tricks that the rest of us mere mortals can use to make sure we get the best out of our bubbly.

Starbucks Workers Head Into Their Biggest Strike Ever

Image
Signs from Starbucks Workers’ last strike. | Photo by Lane Turner/The Boston Globe via Getty Images The “Double Down Strike” will last three days, and affect 100 stores The year of the strike is ending with a bang. Starbucks Workers United has announced that workers at over 100 stores in the U.S. are embarking on a three-day strike starting today and ending December 18. The “Double Down Strike” will affect Starbucks locations in multiple states, including the flagship Seattle Roastery , which is where Starbucks CEO and noted union antagonist Howard Schultz regularly gets his coffee. In a statement to Eater, Starbucks Workers United says “the ‘Double Down Strike’, a nationwide unfair labor practice (ULP) strike, is the longest collective action in the campaign’s history and is the latest escalation against Starbucks’ ruthless campaign of anti-union bullying.” This comes after a recent action on November 17, where over 1,000 Starbucks workers at more than 100 stores went on strik...

For SNAP Recipients, Grocery Inflation Hits Hard

Image
Spencer Platt/Getty Images With grocery prices up nearly 13 percent compared to last year, many low-income Americans receiving food assistance are going hungry This story was originally published on Civil Eats . Gilma Dominguez watched quietly as the grocery store clerk scanned each item, her total ticking up with each beep. She was only buying the necessities — meat, milk, beans, rice — but the numbers on the screen were higher than usual. Her heart started beating faster and her palms started to sweat. Even with her Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) allotment, she couldn’t afford all this food. When the clerk finally read out her total, Dominguez was breathless and sweaty. She was having a panic attack. “It’s like a bad dream. Every week, the prices increase and increase and increase.” Dominguez has suffered three such grocery store panic attacks in the past year, as food prices have reached levels not seen in decades. And, with the holiday season in full sw...

The Best Gift for Snack Lovers Is the One That Keeps on Giving

Image
From Japanese candy to imported cheese, there’s a subscription box out there for everyone This article was originally published in December 2019 and has been updated for the 2022 holiday season. To make a long and boring story about my personal failings and global ambitions into a lede about snack food subscription boxes, let me explain that I recently left the big city I’d lived in for a long time to a home owned by my parents in Utah so that I could focus better on “finishing my novel.” The novel’s almost there, my dog Mars is thriving, and I’m much healthier and happier here than I’ve been in a while. But you know what isn’t here? Access to the big city snacking to which I grew accustomed — fishy little snack crackers from the H-Town near campus, cookies with more Instagram followers than most Real Housewives, $7 cold brew, and any manner of novelty croissants and bagel varieties to which my endocrinologist would ascribe my “wheat belly.” Thank God I have a PO box and touch-and...

The 33 Essential Zurich Restaurants

Image
Kindli There’s so much melty fondue, chocolate, and pasta in Zurich, along with Turkish mantı, whole fish steamed with garlic, and ambitious tasting menus Amid Zurich’s iconic churches and strikingly blue lake lie dozens of pubs and taverns that have been maintained for hundreds of years. Many serve up Swiss classics like raclette, rösti (fried potato pancakes), and Zürcher geschnetzeltes (veal in cream sauce), often gussied up as gastropub fare. The majority of Swiss food production is focused on the dairy industry (local produce isn’t a strong suit), so the city indulges in cheeses like raclette, vacherin, and Gruyere; high-quality butter; and dairy-rich chocolate. However, the city is also an excellent place to shift your conceptions about European and specifically Swiss cuisine as static. Especially in the last century, the food of Switzerland has become reflective of the many peoples who have made it their home. Like the rest of Europe, Zurich has had waves of migration alter...

An Eater’s Guide to Whistler, British Columbia

Image
The glow of nightlife in Whistler. | Tourism Whistler/Justa Jeskova Chefs from star-studded Vancouver, seafood from the Sea-to-Sky Highway, local ingredients from Pemberton Valley, and wines from around British Columbia come together to make Whistler a culinary powerhouse Even for North America’s biggest ski resort, Whistler punches far above its weight as a winter getaway. The same nearby coast that brings endless powder to Whistler’s peaks also supplies fresh seafood and keeps neighboring farms lush with crisp, clean mountain water. The town also draws world-class chefs and restaurateurs — from Vancouver, just 90 minutes away — who like being able to shred on their days off. This year, a new 10-person high-speed gondola and six-person high-speed lift will shorten wait times for skiers and snowboarders. And while Vail Resorts poured millions into upgrading the chairs, vaunted local restaurateurs are working equally hard to make their own seats just as attractive. There are also n...
