I was reminded about the below post when I saw this headline this morning; California pays out more than $4 million to settle lawsuit stemming from E. coli outbreak: Bill Marler, a Seattle attorney with decades of experience in food safety law who has represented dozens of families with loved ones sickened by E. coli infections, said the settlements generally seemed reasonable based on an expected judgment of between $3 million and $5 million at trial for the Cabezuela case alone.

In late May, the National Restaurant Association held its first trade show since 2019 in Chicago. It was so great to see old friends, make new friends and see how far the industry has advanced since the last show. I have been going to the National Restaurant Association show since I was 21, and I have never seen the industry innovate so quickly as I did this year.

In the 1960s, several companies began development of Single Cell Protein (SCP) as a protein source for human and animal feed. SCP refers to protein produced by microorganisms, such as bacteria, yeasts and unicellular algae. This was not a new concept and can be traced back at least as far as 1936. My first job was as a fermentation experimental officer at ICI in the UK, helping to develop the ICI Single Cell Protein Process.

So much was different before March 2020. Restaurant’s safety protocols were done “behind the scenes,” and guests most likely didn’t care about the sanitation of high-touch surfaces or whether they were sitting within six feet of other tables. For many brands, an annual audit was the norm, while employees may have focused on not "getting in trouble" or "getting a good score" rather than the creation of culture.

Cooking oil is a staple within commercial kitchens. It’s required for deep frying, and the various types of cooking oil to choose from affect the taste and texture of the food. Once a batch of restaurant cooking oil is spent and no longer good for frying, it must be disposed of somewhere. Because it is a liquid, you might be tempted to pour restaurant cooking grease down the drain, but that should never be an option.

When your partner whispers sweet nothings into your ear, you can’t help but fall in love. The same thing can be said about food. Nothing says I love you like a delicious meal. Words of affirmation, acts of service, receiving gifts, quality time, and physical touch are the normal love languages for most humans. But there is a new love language developing in restaurants – the 6th love language that no one talks about – menu descriptions.
