Salt & Straw's Limited Edition Chocolate Tacolates Sold Out in a Matter of Minutes
People are craving this unique treat. It might be difficult to grab even a piece of this right now!Salt & Straw, an ice cream manufacturer created the Chocolate Tacolates and released them on October 4th for National Taco Day. People ate the product right up, as it quickly filled the empty space with the departure of the Choco Taco, another classic dessert created by a different company. Creating the Tacolate takes four days, according to Salt & Straw. This means that in order to release an entire stock to the market, the company has to make all of it in advance. But once they all sold out, it would take them longer to restock again. If you got your hands on some of these treats, then we recommend savoring them slowly, as the company might take a long time to restock these treats again.

Golden Girls-Themed Pop Up Restaurant in Los Angeles
If you were born in the 80s, you probably have heard of or even watched The Golden Girls, a sitcom about four older women (Dorothy, Rose, Blanche, and Sophia) sharing a home in Miami Beach, Florida. As with many sitcoms, the show is full of memorable scenes and iconic running gags, like the women's love for cheesecake.A few months ago, the online events company Bucket Listers organized a pop-up restaurant in Beverly Hills, California. The pop-up is called The Golden Girls Kitchen, which, as you might expect, is based on the popular sitcom. It has been thirty years since the final episode of The Golden Girls (which aired in May 1992). Still, the sitcom is remembered and beloved by its fans. Before the pop-up restaurant opened on July 30, the first month of reservations was already sold out! That's how popular the sitcom is.What does the pop-up offer, you ask? Lots! Inside the eatery is a replica of the women's kitchen, and behind it is Blanche's bedroom. The pop-up is also full of easter eggs that you are sure to notice if you watched the show. Of course, it can't be called an eatery without food, and The Golden Girls Kitchen offers lasagna and various flavors of cheesecake.The pop-up restaurant, however, will only have reservations through late October.(Images: AP Photo/ Chris Pizzello)#Sitcom #TheGoldenGirls #BettyWhite #PopUp #Food
Creating Food for Science Fiction Shows
Breaking bread together is a big part of life, and it is naturally incorporated into movies and TV shows. That can get complicated in science fiction. Aliens and people in the future don't eat the same foods we do, but actors do. Food stylist Janice Poon has catered onscreen banquets for many sci-fi movies and TV series you've seen, and has a lot of things to consider before she cooks. The image above is of a "human arm ham" platter Poon created for the TV series Hannibal. Science fiction food sometimes has a set of requirements in place ahead of time, and other times comes with no instructions at all. The food must be believable in the fictional world, completely edible, and palatable to the actors. It also must look good on camera. Then there are the special requirements unique to the production. Does the eater wear prosthetic hands? Will the food interfere with alien makeup? Can the food be chewed before the actor's next line is said? Poon tells us about what goes into science fiction food in an podcast text excerpt at Eater. You can also listen to the entire podcast at Gastropod. See more of Janice Poon's creations at Instagram. -via Nag on the Lake(Image credit: Janice Poon)#food #sciencefiction #moviefood #TVfood #foodstylist

The Symbolism of Food in Movies
Food may seem like just a slice of life in movies, but more often than not it's symbolic, although that symbolism could be so subtle that you don't even see it. When a certain food is used over and over, cinephiles notice it and carry that idea on from movie to movie. Here, Du Cinema looks at the symbolism of oranges, apples, and other particular foods, as well as full meals and what they mean. It's often a foreshadowing of violence, but that depends on the director. The title of this video is about villains drinking milk, which happens more than you ever noticed, but it isn't addressed until almost eight minutes in. The video contains NSFW language. If you want to skip the embedded ad, start at 1:40. -via Digg#filmmaking #food #symbolism #milk

This extra-special board was composed of the children who conceptualized the company's five new ice cream flavors. These creative kids were the winners of a story contest about the wildest ice cream flavors they could ever think of. One of the kids, Rae, named his flavor, "Bottomless Limes. " Bottomless Limes is a Key Lime Pie ice cream sprinkled with chocolate bark and real pie crust. Asher, on the other hand, invented "The Adventurous Llamanaut." The Adventurous Llamanaut is a cherry-flavored ice cream mixed with pink and blue marshmallows. Whereas, Charlotte's "Rosie the Pink Flamingo" literally screams pink as it is made out of strawberry ice cream, pink gummy bears, and pink sprinkles. Cooper's creation was a take on mango-pineapple jelly and citrus mousse with raspberry sherbet and is called. This flavor was named "Triple Tropic Twist." Last but not the least, there was Bridget's "The Ice Cream of Moo. " The Ice Cream of Moo is a classic flavor with a twist: chocolate ice cream with a touch of salt, caramel, cashews, and cherry-laced chocolate ganache.Video credit: KGW News#Salt&Straw #IceCream #Food #Kids #Children #Dessert

The Real Man Behind Chef Boyardee
Ettore Boiardi began cooking as a child, and was only 11 years old when he started his first job at a restaurant. He left his native Italy and moved to New York at age 16. Boiardi joined his brother working at the Plaza Hotel where he worked his way up to head chef by age 17! In 1926, while still in his 20s, Boiardi opened his first restaurant. His spaghetti sauce was so popular that he put it in milk bottles to send home with his customers. From there, it was a short jump to selling his sauce canned in grocery stores. By then he had simplified his name to Hector Boyardee so Americans could easily pronounce it, and he marketed his sauce under the name Chef Boy-Ar-Dee. Boiardi hit the big time with his spaghetti kit, consisting of a can of sauce, uncooked pasta, and a small container of parmesan cheese. The line of goods later grew with pizza kits and canned pasta. He opened a factory in Milton, Pennsylvania, in 1938 because it was a good area to grow tomatoes. Local farmers also grew mushrooms for Boiardi, and he became the USA's biggest importer of olive oil and parmesan cheese. When World War II came, he expanded his operations to provide rations for American GIs. Then after the war, a few bad investments and Boiardi's reluctance to lay off his war workers led him to sell the company. He stayed on as an advertising spokesman for two more decades, however. If it's hard to reconcile the image of an acclaimed chef with the sugary canned pasta in stores today, you aren't the only one with that opinion. Bioardi's descendants aren't too keen to claim the products as they are today. The company is now owned by ConAgra. -via Cracked#food #brand #pizza #spaghetti #ChefBoyardee
