When it comes to restaurants, the trends come and go.  Asian fusion, organic everything, mango salsa, the restaurant business is a business of trends.  Trends come and trends go, but one trend that seems to be sticking around is the gardening trend.  The top trend for 2010 in restaurants is growing food in-house.  Would you love to eat food made with just-picked fruits and vegetables?  I know I do!

I’m lucky in that I live in one of the best food cities in the entire United States.  When it comes to interesting food combinations, from the cheap to the pricey, it’s all good here in the Ville.  We may not have the top 50 restaurants, but we’ve got a great food culture.  Not only do we have restaurants that grow their own vegetables, we have multiple places that make their own meat.  From multiple pizza places that make their own sausage to one restaurant, The Blind Pig, that raises its own pigs from birth to dinner.

This is a delicious trend I can get behind.  If I’m gonna pay for it, I want to eat good, not crap food.  I can eat crap at McDonald’s and it’ll be cheaper.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
