๐ Food Find Friday - Feb 2, 2024
For those new here, every week I explore the delicious world of food and share cool things I find from the past 7 days.
Lets go!
๐ #1 Snow Drinks?!
TikTok is both amazing and can harm your health. Thereโs a winter trend happening right now where people are picking up snow from the ground and using it to make drinks and other things. Generally speaking, eating freshly fallen snow isnโt a safety issue. BUT PSA DO NOT collect snow from a parking/street/sidewalk, thatโs even slightly yellow (you know who you are) or near animal tracks. Read more about the trend here.
๐ #2 Chocolate Fruit Bark
With V-Day around the corner you can impress your boo by learning the latest hot trend in making chocolate fruit bark. I would make this with bananas, peanut butter and dark chocolate.
๐ #3 And the winner isโฆ
Trader Joeโs just released their 15th Annual Customer Choice Awards. And people are obsessed with the Rolled Corn Tortilla Chips Chili & Lime flavored. I love this and more stores should use data to share whatโs are the top sellers. I think weโd all be surprised about our eating behavior. Also check out the Trader Joeโs Hall of Fame.
๐ #4 More trendy food
Another trending food item thatโs getting people hungry for more are these Kimchi & Cheese Rice balls from Costco. Theyโre in the frozen section at your local Costco and absolutely delicious. (Also if you donโt have a Costco membership, please unsubscribe. Just kidding. But seriously, get one as the price is rumored to go up this year).
๐ #5 Yelp 100!
Shout out to the homies Mazra (it means โfarmโ in Arabic) in the Bay Area for making the Top 100 Places To Eat according to Yelp. Even though most Yelp reviews are pedestrian, I can confirm some of these on the Top 100 list are legit delicious AF. This analysis is interesting too (tl;dr Southwest is best, creativity matters, and NYC not so hot anymore).
Thatโs it for this week. Whatโd you think? Hit reply to share your own food finds โ I'd love to include them here!
See you next Friday.
