Strange News from the Food Front (6/25/07)
A weekly round-up of odd kitchen events:
- Culinary Criminals Inmates in a Bangalore, India prison like the food, made by the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, so much that they're refusing to apply for bail. They also like the saffron uniforms. (AFP)
- Beersicle Brouhaha A suburban Washington, D.C. restaurant is getting heat for serving frozen beer pops because the liquid isn't in the original container or served immediately on pouring. And can you ask them to hold the ice? (AP)
- Three-Year-Old Served Vodka in Restaurant. Neat. A restaurant accidentally switched drinks and sent a three-year-old a vodka-based drink instead of pineapple juice. The family was still charged for the drink (no kidding). Wonder if they got to keep the kiddie cup.
- Chef TV Show Sued A manager at a New York Indian restaurant is suing to keep an episode of Gordon Ramsey's new show, Kitchen Nightmares, from airing. At the celebrity chef's behest, the restaurant fired the manager on the show. And you thought that the networks could be harsh. (Reuters)
