OMG! United brings back the snacks in economy
Just when you thought all the news for back-of-the-plane flyers was bad, United Airlines has announced that starting in February, there'll be free snacks in coach. Not the meals that once there were, but at least a little something to look forward to. It's part of United's "sorry" for the rocky times since its troubled merger with Continental; New CEO Oscar Muniz promised a focus on customer service, and here it is... The change applies to flights that don't already have free food or snacks,...

Re: Mauna Loa Macadamia Nut Factory Tour
I wouldn't want to be accused of being anti-Hershey or anything (might be my prejudice about their barring the import of REAL Cadbury milk chocolate), but Hershey has a bad record on factory tours. They used to have a great one at their factory in Hershey, PA, but closed the tour about 25 years ago and replaced it with an amusement-style ride—a little like Small, Small World—that showed trees and natives and ships, and absolutely no sense of how workers turn the nibs into chocolate in a real...

Re: In Search of Cheesesteak
It’s only because I must respect PHeymont’s ambitious Cheese Steak exploration that I can muzzle my Philly born reflexive anger that some non-Philly person dares rate our Cheese steaks! Outrageous! Okay, wait, starting to get pissed off again, lemme get it under control…that’s better. Okay, first, a cheese steak on a pretzel?!? NO! Don’t even think about it! Heresy! AND mixing two iconic Philly staples, soft pretzels and cheese steaks…BARBARIANS! Nonetheless I can’t help but admire the...

Eating our way through Istanbul (part 1)
Every city has its monuments, its churches and palaces, its prominent squares and avenues—and every visitor can easily learn how to find them. That’s true, too, for the most famous or most tourist-oriented restaurants as well. But it’s not as easy to wander off the beaten path and find the truly typical local foods, and especially not so easy to know what’s what when you find it.
