...with brief, occasional, italicized and sometimes gratuitous commentary…
• Employee-owned WinCo Foods said yesterday that it will donate close to a quarter-million dollars to 14 separate food banks in eight states where it operates - working out to $17,346 each, "providing potentially well more than 750,000 meals to populations in need." The food banks are in Idaho, Washington State, Oregon, California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah and Texas.
• Crain's Chicago Business reports that McDonald's "is testing a Sriracha Big Mac in 126 stores in central Ohio starting today, a possible prelude to a nationwide rollout." The burger is topped with its traditional "special sauce," but infused with Sriracha, a spicy Asian chili sauce.
The sauce, the story says, "also will be available a la carte for french fry and Chicken McNuggets dipping."
While my resistance to McDonald's charms have been oft stated here, I must admit that I'd be willing to try this. I love, love, love Sriracha, and it's been years since I've had a Big Mac ... so I'm curious.
