By Emily Lacy (@emstheticket) Despite what the movies might feed you (hello, childhood full of Disney!), if you’ve been part of a romantic duo that lasted beyond the initial hormonal flash in the pan, you know the truth about long-term, serious relationships: they take work. The beginning of every new relationship is exciting, filled with [...]

America Rising for Breakfast
May 31, 2012 – 2:00 pm
By Jason Stemm @NYCubsFan Breakfast is back! Our mothers always told us it was the most important meal of the day, and it looks like we are finally starting to catch on. Whether it is for weight management, health, energy or alertness, more Americans are eating breakfast. Still, however, less than half of Americans are [...]
What’s Old is New Again
April 26, 2012 – 2:00 pm
Last weekend, while getting dressed like an extra from the Broadway show Newsies for a 20’s-themed surprise party at the Manhattan club Prohibition, my thoughts drifted to the resurgence of trends and nostalgia for times past. Bell bottoms, leg warmers and moon boots have all had their questionable rises and returns to cultural popularity. Food [...]
IACP Ready to Take Bite Out of the Big Apple
March 29, 2012 – 2:00 pm
The International Association of Culinary Professionals (IACP) will converge on New York City for its annual conference this weekend. The “Fashion of Food” is this year’s theme, looking at food beyond just sustenance.

Feeling Slimed by Food Labeling?
March 22, 2012 – 2:56 pm
By now you have probably heard of “finely textured beef” or at least its more popular name, “pink slime,” which has been in our ground beef for years, and recently brought to public attention. In fact, unless you have only consumed organic ground beef, you have probably ingested it. J.M. Hirsch did a great job [...]

November 10, 2011 – 3:04 pm
By Jason Stemm @NYCubsFan This past week I was in Washington DC for the International Foodservice Editorial Council’s annual conference.

Healthy Eating Deserves a Food Fight
October 13, 2011 – 2:00 pm
By Jason Stemm @NYCubsFan I’ll be heading down to Atlanta tomorrow for the Produce Marketing Association #FreshSummit. It has been six years since the show visited the Peach State, and a lot has changed in that time. According to the CDC, in 2005, about 33% of U.S. adults ate 2+ servings of fruit per day [...]
Steve Jobs-Inventor, Designer, Marketing Genius…a Buzz Bin Tribute
October 6, 2011 – 2:00 pm
By Jason Stemm (@NYCubsFan) A company lost a leader, an industry lost a visionary and a family lost a loved one yesterday when Steve Jobs passed away. He created and rebuilt a company into something than he may never have imagined as a young man in his parent’s garage. It reminded me of a friend [...]
Serving up Bull—Lessons Learned from a #PRfail
September 8, 2011 – 2:00 pm
PR missteps are not uncommon, but sadly they are too often repeated. Learning from not only our mistakes, but others’ is part of our ongoing education. There are sites like the BAD PITCH BLOG and horror stories like one that Jonathan Fields blogged about that call out bad PR, not to embarrass, but rather educate. [...]
