If you’re venturing out, triple-check the opening status, entry requirements, and safety protocols for both your destination and home city upon your return. Be safe out there. [] Another weekend is upon us. How will you celebrate the sudden onset of late-autumn/winter? Will you wrap yourself in tree bark and yeti furs and sip the nog of Time by a crackling fire? Will you dine out at an expensive restaurant in a city you’ve never visited? Will you get a booster shot and get back into bed to watch seven more hours of Love Island? I don’t know you, or what you do, but I’ll bet you have some gosh darn wonderful plans, and I hope that everything you dream of comes to be. Today’s stories cover all kinds of things. We have food fests, Thai grocery store snacks to hibernate with, the best cheesesteak in Philadelphia, Uber Eats’ Annual Cravings Report, and great gifts for people who love subscription boxes. Egad, what a wonderful charcuterie spread of delicious and exciting ideas. Did you think I was gonna get to the end of the newsletter without reminding you that it’s “cuffing season”? Well, I’m not. It’s cuffing season. Sorry. I don’t even really get what that entails—and DON’T tell me—but it’s worth mentioning. Or is it… Have a great weekend and please be good!

The alternative burger battle contestants at Seed Food & Wine Festival in Miami are firing up the grills. San Diego Beer Week is on! Seriously, these are some exciting food fest times we’re living through. Never have I wanted to go to the National Peanut Festival in Dothan, Alabama, more!
