This week in Stick A Fork In It was exciting as always, but we're most excited by the announcement of our next Happy Hour with 89.9 FM KCRW at Memphis at the Santora! This will be our third event with “food goddess” Evan Kleiman, host of KCRW's “Good Food.” Our events at the Crosby and Mesa were fun, so now we're excited to venture to one of our favorite restaurants.
This, and plenty more excitement can be found in This Week In Food!

Here's something that's sure to start a debate: Dave picked the ten best burgers in OC. Also; counter-protest the Westboro Baptist Church by eating Dave's “God Hates Figs” tart recipe. The Lime Truck's Jason Quinn is set to open a fancy restaurant in Downtown Santa Ana, where he recently opened Playground.
We all know McDonald's is bad for you, yada yada yada…but they are working on cleaning up their image by ceasing to use “pink slime” in their burgers. Thanks? Also from Edwin; Starbucks raised their prices in China, much to the outrage of the Chinese. The chef from the highly successful YouTube cooking show, Cooking With Dog, was seriously injured while riding her bicycle in Tokyo.
Gustavo (and the rest of us, for that matter) is excited to announce our third Happy Hour event with KCRW at Memphis at the Santora on March 13! Kirkus Reviews gave his new book, Taco USA, a shining review! A drunk man was arrested in Texas for stealing Taco Bell order.
Michelle posed the question, “Is Yelp making us unadventurous?” Also; how to use food coloring and other tricks to make you eat less. Here's a video of how to eat a chicken wing with one hand. What talent. Chanel owns a winery– and Karl Lagerfeld is designing the label of a limited-edition bottle.
Anne Marie went On The Line with chef Carmina Casso of Ciao! Deli & Pizzeria. Read parts one, two and three here.
