Eggs Are Perfect, Health Studies Are Not

Good eggs!

A few weeks ago, stories about a study published in Nature Medicine upset meat lovers. The study had connected the presence of TMAO -- sounds like internet slang, but it's a chemical produced by bacteria in the intestines -- with higher risks of heart disease. And the analysis found that after eating meat, some people's bodies surged with TMAO. It's not clear yet what that connection means, but it certainly made for some irresistible headlines:

Max Fish Will Move to Williamsburg

Max Fish is leaving Ludlow Street.

It looks like the Lower East Side will lose another one of its most beloved bars. Max Fish declared in an online petition that it will move to 132 Metropolitan Ave. in Brooklyn, and the bar is seeking a liquor license for the address. Max Fish has been a fixture of drunken nights on Ludlow Street since 1989 and has had its fair share of near-closures. See the full petition after the jump.

Red Hook Welcomes Dry Dock Back to 424 Van Brunt Street

Looking good, Dry Dock!

When Hurricane Sandy lay into Red Hook, my neighborhood liquor store was pummeled. But Dry Dock picked up the pieces, saved the bottles it could, and quickly shuffled over to temporary digs farther up the street.

Fairway IPO Announced Today, Could Be Higher Than Whole Foods'

Fairway Market will go public today and could soon be worth more than fancy-food competitor Whole Foods. Bloomberg reports that the supermarket chain's IPO is scheduled to be $453.6 million. The company, which currently has 12 stores throughout the East Coast and aims to expand to more than 300 shops throughout the country, raked in $554.9 million in sales last year--which is a whole lot of groceries. The market's financial success comes on the heels of its triumphant reopening in Red Hook following the flooding and destruction of Hurricane Sandy. [Bloomberg]

Cherry Bombe Magazine Celebrates Women in the Culinary World

Cherry Bombe Magazine

Stop what you're doing and check out Cherry Bombe Magazine, the visually stunning food magazine created by Seersucker's Kerry Diamond and graphic designer Claudia Wu. The friends (and former Harper's Bazaar colleagues) launched the imprint in September of last year and have now turned to Kickstarter to seek additional funds for future issues. The biannual publication is almost entirely women-driven, but don't expect it to be covered in ruffles and kale salads.

A different kind of family meal.

Remember those family dinners your parents made you endure as a kid? If you do, you probably had a more cheerful childhood than your friends whose meals were parent-free. Fast Company reports that researchers at McGill University found the frequency with which families dine together is "strongly correlated" to participants overall emotional well-being.

Think Your Seafood Is Sustainable? You're Probably Wrong

All of the extra cash you've been dropping on wild-caught fish may have been wasted. Mother Jones reports that the Marine Stewardship Council -- one of the world's biggest green organizations that aims to "provide the best environmental choices in seafood" -- has been overly permissive when labeling fish as "sustainable."

How to Make Insects Look Good Enough to Eat

By Tejal Rao Thu., Apr. 11 2013 at 2:00 PM

Ento via Fast Company

Bugs are an ideal food source--high in protein and easy to farm in huge quantities without hurting the environment. Though they're snacked on all over the world, and occasionally in the U.S., the biggest problem here has always been one of marketing. So, how do you convince an insect-averse culture to eat crickets and mealworms?

Over on Fast Company, Patrick James draws our attention to Ento, a new project from four London-based graduate students who aim to process and redesign bugs-as-food to make them more approachable and maybe even mainstream.

Here's more on their plan to open an Ento restaurant, launch packaged meals, and move our food culture past bug fear:
