In our coverage here at City of Ate, we typically try to lean towards high-end foods and unique eateries (OK, on occasion). But, we also know crap sells, mainly because often we’re the ones buying it. And while our fast-food coverage usually highlights absurdity, sometimes it crosses into all-business territory…

Now that Tuesday’s here, it’s back to work and time to detox from all that poolside barbecue gorging. May I suggest you embrace the glorious chickpea? Everyone knows and loves hummus,…

The dish reads from the Meddlesome Moth’s menu like a classic State Fair artery-clogger: “Nueske’s Bacon Lollipops with funnel cake and maple hollandaise.” Sounds like a food coma waiting to happen, right? Slabs of high-quality Nueske’s bacon are sliced about three-eighths of an inch thick and threaded on wooden skewers…
