NORWALK — Norwalk’s Chick-fil-A is set to re-open on Thursday after closing for several months to renovate the drive-thru and increase capacity. “It’s finally happening,” announced the Chick-fil-A located at 467 Connecticut Ave. in a Facebook post. The location closed at the end of September to address the drive-thru congestion issue or “car-pocalypse,” as Planning and Zoning Commissioner Nick Kantor described it during a meeting in July. “We will be open 6:30 am — 10:00 pm Monday-Saturday,” the post said. “We can’t […]

Milk, regardless of whether it’s low-fat or whole, provides the same 13 essential nutrients. According to the National Milk Producers’ Federation research, whole milk is the most consumed milk variety in the US, followed by 2% fat milk – but neither are currently part of federal school meal programs due to concerns regarding saturated fat and sugar content. However, milk producers argue that excluding the most commonly-consumed milk types from school menus is a key contributing factor to food waste. […]
Scan the dairy case of any grocery store, and you’ll find rows upon rows of products with varying levels of fat. Nonfat, low-fat, whole: What’s the healthiest option? If you consult the U.S. dietary guidelines or health authorities like the American Heart Association or the World Health Organization, the answer is clear: Choose a fat-free or low-fat version. This recommendation stems from the idea that full-fat dairy products are high in saturated fats, so choosing lower-fat versions can reduce your […]
Cabbage may be one of the most humble vegetables, but it’s also one of the easiest to spruce up into something warm, homey, and comforting — but also worthy of center stage. And what’s the best way you can improve that sad head of cabbage? Frying it, of course. First, there’s lots of butter (all the best recipes have plenty of butter), then bacon, garlic, celery, bell peppers, and onions. We’re building a solid flavor base here. Next is the […]
That’s all, 2022. From the good (most popular recipes!) to the bad (least-favorite food trends!), we’re spending December looking back. Head here for all the stories in BA’s year in review. Food culture, at its best, is lighthearted, unpretentious, and, plainly, fun. This year we saw our beloved Corn Kid ascend to the pop culture canon, in the company of Sexy Dirtbag Chef and the sbagliato. The year’s mascot was, in fact, rotisserie chicken man, and I’m not willing to debate it. We’d happily shepherd each […]
1. Salmon Salmon is a fatty fish, meaning it is full of omega-3 fatty acids. Salmon is also an excellent source of protein and can help a person feel more satisfied at meals. One salmon fillet (178 g) contains 39.3 g of protein. 2. Chicken breast Chicken breast is a lean source of protein. The majority of its calories come directly from protein when served without skin. A 100 g skinless chicken breast provides around 22.5 g of protein. 3. […]

The global population is expected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050, the United Nations (UN) reports. With the growth of people worldwide comes added pressures for food supply, security and the systems managing the supply chain behind them. “It’s clear our current food systems are unsustainable,” James Petrie, CEO of Australian food tech company Nourish Ingredients, told FoodNavigator. Research data indicates that 77% of agricultural land is used to grow animals despite providing only 18% of calories and 37% of […]
If you’re trying to shed some pounds this winter, you may be putting extra thought into the items you put into your cart at the grocery store. After all, your diet is one of the most important aspects of weight management, and the first step to eating healthy is stocking your kitchen with healthy foods. Some things are a no-brainer: don’t overindulge in processed, salty snacks; stay away from sugar-loaded desserts, etc. However, some items on the shelves may have […]
The new formula for food companies was to take out fat and add masses of sugars to make products more palatable. Fat-free cakes, yoghurts and cereals hit our shelves, while butter gave way to low fat margarine. Sausages and steak were replaced with pasta and rice. Because of its high calorie content, it was believed that eating fat made us fatter and increased our risk of heart disease. To understand how we got to this spectacularly low point in our […]
