A Cook’s Tour

Honor the legacy of Anthony Bourdain and follow in his footsteps along the new Anthony Bourdain Food Trail in New Jersey. The trail features 10 eateries Bourdain visited
in an episode of his food and travel show, Parts Unknown. At each restaurant, be on the lookout for a plaque with an image of Bourdain peeking over the top of his sunglasses. A great way to celebrate the life of this New Jersey food icon! FoodAndWine.com.

Let them eat cake!

You’ve heard of gender reveal cakes, but now it looks like people are finding other reasons to celebrate with cake of many color options and unusual messages. From college acceptances (college colors), to vasectomy announcements, to—with a twist on the original gender reveal—the gender transition cake, cake reveals seem to be more than a passing fad. Work with a local bakery for your creative new cake messages!
