Backlash against the “Julie and Julia” phenom: Slate (via @Atlantic_Food) posits that “Mastering the Art of French Cooking” isn’t worth your money, @CookingUpAStory suggests a new movie and a new way of life, Tammy Wong of Rainbow Chinese offers a recipe for a calabash stir-fry (via @MplsFarmMarket), @MetroMixTC reports on the David vs. Goliath legal battle between the Lions Tap and McDonald’s, and @DakotaJazzClub announces their new happy hour (if you haven’t yet, check their Twitter feed — they post new deals almost daily!).
