| | | When choosing food, simple is best | | Posted Sunday, February 04, 2007 3:06:13 PM by Blog57 Team | | As enormous health food supermarkets begin to dot the land, it is clear Americans are showing an increased interest in eating more healthy and nutritious foods. Despite this trend and partly because of this trend, careful shoppers and health-conscious parents have to be even more careful about noting what is actually in and on the food they buy. Because the natural foods industry has become a multibillion-dollar business, more conventional food manufacturers are cashing in on the attractiveness of natural and whole foods. In many cases, they are presenting products to the public that sound and even look like health foods but are, in fact, highly processed and refined versions of staple health foods. Granola and granola bars are a perfect example of this. On the other hand, there is also much in health food stores that is really glorified candy bars, chips and snacks.... | |

| | | Man accused of swiping secret fast-food recipes | | Posted Saturday, December 09, 2006 1:13:12 PM by Blog57 Team | | A Toronto food factory worker is being accused of swiping some of the most closely guarded recipes in the North American fast-food industry, according to court documents obtained by The Globe and Mail. Documents obtained by the newspaper allege the culprit is 42-year-old Abdool Gafoor. For about the past year, the Guyanese immigrant and father of four worked as a temporary shift worker at Griffith Laboratories' Scarborough, Ont. plant. The privately owned Illinois-based company, which bills itself "the food architects," is behind the spices, sauces and recipes for popular fast-food restaurants. The last time Gafoor was seen at the factory was on Oct. 12, when he refused to do some lifting and walked out at 7:35 a.m. The Globe reports that the Griffith webmaster received an email peppered with spelling mistakes about a year after Gafoor's start date that included the subject line: "The Rise and Fall of Griffith." "Simple, the ball is in your court," the message said.... | |

| | | Where to go for Mexican food in Ocean County | | Posted Friday, November 10, 2006 3:22:41 PM by Blog57 Team | | Most people associate the Jersey Shore with elaborate seafood dinners that call for huge steamer pots and disposable lobster bibs. But Ocean County is also expanding diners' menu options south of the border. And in this case, south of the border means Mexico, and not Delaware. If you want to acquaint yourself with the best Mexican food in Ocean County, a great place to start is Cinco de Mayo Mexican Grill, located in the Stella Plaza, 1822 Hooper Ave. in Toms River. As soon as you walk in, you're surrounded by the sound of Norteno music, and greeted by owner, Lenny Palafox, who was born and raised in Tlaxcala, Mexico before coming to the United States 20 years ago. "I learned to cook from my mother," he said. "She taught me to make mole (sauce) and I think the reason our enchiladas, fajitas and tamales are so popular is because they're made according to her basic recipe." Palafox said that he starts out early in the morning making appetizers and entrees from scratch, using only fresh organic vegetables in the sauces including his own world famous guacamole.... | |
