Five years from the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, @Eater's Jaya Saxena takes a look at how things have changed for food and dining, and how they haven't. "Everywhere — including in this retrospective of those pandemic-era pivots that stuck around, for better or worse — there are signs and scars of what the last five years have wrought. And sometimes, hints of a better future," she writes. "If only we stop thinking of COVID in the past tense."

It should not be as hard as it apparently is to buy a Pizza Hut personal pan cheese pizza in #BostonMA. Is there a Pizza Hut or Pizza Hut "Express" anywhere in the city or its environs which reliably has one when you show up to buy it? If there is, I haven't yet managed to find it.
Today at the #Target in #WatertownMA they had none, and the majority of the few items they had out for sale were mislabeled. Real amateur hour vibe.

Booked a restaurant that required a credit card for reservations. I can understand the motivation, but I think it probably backfires. I probably won't book future visits, and with inclement weather forecasted, they must lose bookings in an avalanche. Nobody wants to be hit with a snowstorm within 24hrs of a reservation and get a $100 charge.

And if you did get a penalty charge you'd never go to the place again either.

Adults are usually fairly tidy when dining out. But when kids and babies are along for the experience, a lot of the food meant for their tum tum ends up on the floor floor. So who’s supposed to clean up the mess? The server — who’s waiting on perhaps 20 other people — or the parents paying for the service? Luckily, @foodandwine sorts it all out for us:

Food & WineWho Is Responsible for Cleaning Up a Kid's Mess in a Restaurant, Waiters or Parents?Children can be messy eaters, but when a kid makes a mess in a restaurant, who should clean it up? A longtime waiter has answers for who should clean up food mess, a spilled drink, broken glass, or bodily fluids — the parent or the server.
