Just because it’s Friday and I have to rush to school at the Natural Gourmet Institute, I found a couple of stories about food-related crime. Just for a Friday “WTF” and a giggle, I suppose.

Exhibit A: 2 men and 1 juvenile were arrested in a daring bacon heist in Indiana. The three stole $90 worth of bacon from Strong’s market. Read the article. Bless these guys’ hearts, as they say in the South. Sigh. No word on what they wanted it for.

Exhibit B: yikes. Earlier this year, a Dallas woman returned home after dropping her son off at school to find her bathroom window open and a naked, bloodied man sitting in her sink. It gets freakier. He was chowing down on the raw chicken she’d left there to thaw. And in the irony department, his last name is “Cooks.”

And something that makes you go “hmmm.”

On an episode of “Top Chef Canada” that’ll air May 16, contestants have to create a classic French dish, and one of those contestants is required to use horse meat. And that’s got people freaked out and angry. Here’s the link.

Happy Friday!

So I just read this story about a woman on an airplane who was so not happy about the meal she was served that she threw it at the flight attendant.

Read it here.

The woman who threw the tray AND the food is apparently a vegetarian. Yikes. Word of advice: if you don’t like the meal, probably best not to throw it at a flight attendant. Especially in the world we live inĀ  now. And maybe she should try a little meditation or something…

Hey, kids. Okay, so this week, democratic Assemblyman from Brooklyn (unfortunately), Felix Ortiz, proposed legislation that would ban salt in restaurant cooking in New York. Chefs are fighting this proposed legislation and calling it absurd. Full article HERE.

It is absurd. How dare the government tell restaurants what they can and can’t cook with? We’re talking salt here, not heroin. This is a matter of personal choice and personal resolution.
