Food Trends That Must Die
By Stett Holbrook
IT'S TRUE that there's no accounting for taste, but here are food trends that I think should be retired at once.
San Francisco.com Real Estate
Moving to the Bay Area just became easy. Let San Francisco.com show you all the homes currently for sale.
San Jose.com Real Estate
Relocating to San Jose or Silicon Valley? Let San Jose.com introduce you to some expert area real estate agents.
Beet and Goat Cheese Salad Once upon a time, this was an interesting dish. Now it's as tired as it is ubiquitous.
Crème Brûlée When did every restaurant in America put this on their menu? The madness must stop.
Low-Carb Anything Leave it to Americans to take good advice (eat carbohydrates in moderation) to an unhealthy extreme. Long live bread.
Meatloaf Meatloaf was the flagship dish of the comfort food rebellion that swept fine restaurants across the land. But the homey dish has made itself a little too comfortable in the dining rooms of America and now it's time for it to go home. OK, bye-bye.
Molten Chocolate Cake Like its custardy cousin crème brûlée, molten chocolate cake has become as old and predictable as the lies issuing from Dick Cheney's mouth.
