Oh YES this place is amazing also! I couldn’t remember what it was called, so I’m glad you mentioned it. I’ll definitely have to return to the area soon and eat all the tacos once more. Read more

Me too! I photograph almost every meal I eat, then put them in a digital album at the end of each year all for myself. (And I hope you’re talking about Tacos Chiwas!) Read more

If you search “benihana onion volcano” on social media, there are lots of videos. And it’s even more impressive than I was expecting! Read more

It’s not mandatory; it just adds a slightly richer flavor. But the semi-sweet chips already keep things from being too cloying, so you’re good.  Read more

I agree with you! I don’t believe they’re selling singles, because it doesn’t come in the tallboy cans. Best solution I have found for this is to bring out the remainder of the 12-pack at a backyard gathering and encourage everyone to try this really weird drink. Most people are intrigued... Read more

That’s awesome! My favorite Truly is the Pineapple, but it’s admittedly pretty sweet—the berry ones you mention are a great mix of sweet and mild. Read more

To answer your question, I’d say both of those aftertastes go away much faster than with some other seltzers. I’m pretty intolerant of the fake sweetener taste, which is why I am loving the proliferation of new brands and flavors—each one approaches sweetening a bit differently, and some have found ways to really Read more

WHOA, sorry for the omission! Must be a more recent addition, since it’s not on the Flavors page and it wasn’t in my variety pack. I can’t wait to try it. Read more

I was thinking of going with chopped pickled jalapeno slices, which could easily be swapped in for both the black olives and/or the green chiles. My husband also suggested pimentos. Many experiments will be undertaken this summer! Read more

We were all safe and fully vaccinated—but it’s true, the idea of gathering again takes some getting used to! Read more

That’s actually one of the things that the Betty Crocker cookbook warns about! Breads and cakes need extra layers of things like caramelized brown sugar dusting in order to appear browned. I guess for glazed or frosted cakes this isn’t as much of an issue. Read more

I love making stovetop popcorn! Only downside, and the way in which microwave popcorn might have an edge over homemade, is the butter application. Melting the right amount of butter and adding just-enough-but-not-too-much salt, then tossing it all so that the popcorn gets evenly coated, and then having to wash out two Read more

Totally solid! Grapefruit is a good go-to flavor because there seems to be very little variation between each brand’s interpretation of that flavor. Even this “ruby red” version tastes exactly the way you’re expecting, and the way you want it to. Read more

Whoa, I’ll have to look out for the Press one! I tried the variety pack and that will be the topic of a future column, but I didn’t know they were playing with sweet/spicy also. Thanks for the rec! Read more

I don’t believe we said anything in the above article about Millennials being younger than that? As for the taste, I also found it initially disappointing. But with so many brands on the market now, there is a greater variety of flavor profiles, fizziness levels, etc., so it might be a matter of finding the seltzer Read more
