Some in Philly fear the Michelin Guide will water down our city's unique flavor to cater to a global audience.
Here's my take: Instead of thinking that the world will change Philadelphia, we should see this as an opportunity for Philadelphia to change the world. www.phillymag.com/foobooz/2025...

I’m so happy I preordered Shane Confectionery’s Pine Barrens assortment. It’s one of the most beautiful boxes of chocolates I’ve ever seen. And the fact that all of the chocolates represent legends of the Pines (folklore that I grew up with) makes this box all the more special.

A group of Floridians tried to sue Hershey for $5 million because the holiday Reese’s cups don’t look like pumpkins, bats, and ghosts. Everyone knows they look like amorphous blobs and we don’t care. The peanut butter to chocolate ratio is perfection. www.usatoday.com/story/money/...
