		<description><![CDATA[Almost as chestnutty is the “McDonald’s has a classically trained chef” script handed out for “journalists” to dutifully regurgitate. Inevitably, that one winds up quoting some VP for chemistry more than The New Escoffier because, really, what the chain serves is anything but creative cooking, burgers du jour. And I would believe the catapulted propaganda [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’m sure I’ve written about this before, but one of the best classes I took in high school in Arizona was required: General Business. We learned stuff as simple as how to make change and as daunting as how to “buy” stocks, which involved translating the tables and tracking our paper profits and losses. But [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We’re also getting awfully close to drowning in bourbon coverage very soon &#8212; with the Kentucky Derby coming, the clichés always win. So I half-admire the booze reps who are trying to pitch a reinvention of the mint julep. Ill-advised as it is, at least it’s something different. (Gin or vodka would be far, far [...]]]></description>

One St. Patrick’s Day it’s the daughter-in-law, the next Easter it’s the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is a bit of a re-Tweet, but it was odd to see ramps suddenly being touted for Easter on a day when everyone was bundled to the max looking at the sad remainders of New York winter at the Greenmarket. Some flack must have told the producers to hop to it.

But there are big piles even at our neighborhood Food Shitty, and the Manhattan Fruit Exchange had the usual half-dozen or more varieties, if pricier than [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hellmann’s is the Rachael of the processed food world &#8212; its name is 98 percent likely to be misspelled every time. It’s equally good at catapulting the propaganda, too, garnering huge publicity merely for switching to “cage-free” eggs in one of its several lines of mayonnaise. Not to be all unappreciative or anything, but wouldn’t [...]]]></description>

It tastes like grain. There is no miracle protein for chefs on a debased planet, especially one that consistent. But at least whoever suckered [...]]]></description>
