Tonka Beans, Cookies, Band Beers: 10 Hot Topics On Food Republic

Let's start off with a bit of a mind-blowing fact: you can unboil an egg. It gets better: you can also have cheese on ALL your fries and not just the top layer. We invented that, not the egg-unboiling. None of us are even close to that smart, but give the FR team a problem like "there's only cheese on some of my alleged cheese fries" and we'll give it the attention it deserves. We also gave the term "fast casual" a little more attention than usual, in that we're ready to know what that even means, if not just "you know, like Chipotle," while continuing to put off thinking about Valentine's Day until the day before. Ooh! Get your beloved a six-pack brewed in collaboration with a band they like! Glad we got that out of the way.
