8 of the best bread machines for making your own fresh loaves at home

TwitterFacebook

There’s nothing quite as appealing as the smell of a freshly baked loaf of bread. But if all that kneading and rising and kneading and rising puts you off the idea of homemade fresh loaves, a bread maker might just change your mind. 

It used to be that bread makers had one option, one size, and no features to speak of. Nowadays, you can get models with delay starts—perfect for waking up to a fresh loaf—and even some that make multiple sizes of loaves. 

Whether you’re looking for a no-frills, basic bread maker or a full-fledged product to program perfectly timed and sized loaves (leaving you more time to loaf around, get it?), we’ve got the best bread makers (or are they breadwinners?) to fit your needs. Read more…

11 eating competitions that will leave you disgusted — but impressed

TwitterFacebook

You’ve probably heard of competitive eating, those food challenges in which people consume ungodly amounts as fast as they can, battling it out for cash prizes as high as $10,000. These challenges span the globe, are broadcast on ESPN, and include just about anything edible: jalapeños, shrimp cocktail, and gyoza, to name just a few. 

They’ve also got history. In a story from the 1400s, notes Eater, a Nordic man enters an eating competition with a god. In the 1700s, poet James Taylor wrote of the “Great Eater of Kent,” whom, Atlas Obscura reports, ate “some 60 eggs, a good portion of a lamb, and a handful of pies — a meal that left him hungry for more.” Read more…

Food delivery’s untapped opportunity

Investors may have already placed their orders in the consumer food delivery space, but there’s still a missing recipe for solving the over $250 billion business-to-business foodservice distribution problem that’s begging for venture firms to put more cooks in the kitchen. 

Stock prices for Sysco and US Foods, the two largest food distributors, are up by over 20% since last summer when Amazon bought Whole Foods. But, have these companies haven’t made any material changes to their business model to counteract the threat of Amazon. I know a thing or two about the food services industry and the need for a B2B marketplace in an industry ripe with all of our favorite buzz words: fragmentation, last mile logistics and a lack of pricing transparency.
