The New York Times checks in with Hostess Brands bankrupcy protection. I, for one, don’t feel much nostalgia for the Twinkie.

For those just learning to enjoy Scotch (myself included), TheKitchn shows us four easy drinks to open our palates to.

Andrew Morrison thinks about his last meals before the apocalypse in the Westender.

The North Shore News drinks wine with their veggies.

Alexandra Gill has a lacklustre meal at the new Boneta.

The combination of a French restauranteur and a yoga studio? An unusual pairing, but the Foodists are raving about it. (although I hear the chef just left, so who knows…)

The new reality show on the opening of Save On Meats starts this week. The Georgia Straight is entertained.

Amanda Hesser eats breakfast for dinner. Can we talk about how much I love her site, Food52? So good.
