Doritos is releasing an all-new Lemon Pepper flavor in 2027. Lemon pepper. As in Atlanta’s beloved lemon pepper chicken wings, now apparently preparing to take up residence on a triangular piece of corn. I love trying new chip flavors. Pepperoncini? Yes. Jalapeño? Absolutely. Salt and vinegar? Bring on […]
What’s the best way to explore a new city? Everyone has their own travel philosophy. Some people take bus tours. Others visit every museum listed in the guidebook. Some plan their itineraries down to the minute, leaving no room for spontaneity or the possibility of accidentally discovering something […]
If your pet could talk, what would be the first thing it says? I sometimes wonder what my dogs would say if they could talk. Of course, I would love to believe their first words would be, “I love you.” But let’s be psychologically honest here. These are […]

Just when you thought we had reached peak optimization along comes a banana. In South Korea, they’re now selling something called “haru hana banana.” A neatly packaged set of bananas arranged by ripeness. One ready today. One for tomorrow. One for later. A curated banana experience. A banana […]
Zucchini has a PR problem. It’s out here minding its business, and somehow it’s been labeled the “lightweight” of the vegetable world. Flavorless. Boring. The filler episode of produce.
