It's January 2015—time to leave that holiday trend called "eating" behind and starve your tender, fragile bodies of nutrients. Oscar-winning director Lee Daniels is doing it!

Today is National Comfort Food Day which means we should all talk about the delicious things we're going to make tonight while at home watching Shark Tank instead of heading to a hot yoga class and detoxing with green tea in an attempt to prep our bodies for next week's onslaught of endless holiday parties. » 12/05/14 12:50pm 12/05/14 12:50pm

How does one eat a Thanksgiving meal? On its face this might seem like a ridiculous question, and also everywhere else too. I mean, who doesn't know how to eat? (Excepting the British, of course.) Thanksgiving is marked, more than anything else, by its abundance of tasty foodstuffs; practically speaking, it is a… » 11/27/14 5:41pm 11/27/14 5:41pm

Thanks to a new Food and Drug Administration ruling, not even movie theaters and pizza shops will be safe havens for calorie overloads anymore.

Have you been drooling over those Hello Kitty Cafe food pics from Japan? I have (and I've also been trying to come up with ways to turn all my food into cartoon characters).

Have you ever seen anything more hilarious than a tiny child who is not old enough to appreciate fine dining be subjected to the classiest food and service available? I haven't, but that's because I don't get out a lot. And because there is nothing funnier than a four-year-old who can't read a menu. Well, maybe a… » 10/30/14 3:15pm 10/30/14 3:15pm

Eating in bed seems like a pretty normal activity. We have all done it at some point.

In an attempt to introduce small children to the joys of eating eel ("no, it's a snake") and "orange stuff," New York City restaurant Daniel invited a whole group of them to nosh on fish eggs and "little forests" of arugula that would normally cost $220. Their reactions, unsurprisingly, are priceless. » 10/11/14 4:35pm 10/11/14 4:35pm

In this Sunday's New York Times, writer David Shaftel has declared brunch "for jerks" who refuse to grow up and instead wish to languish in endless adolescence while the real adults (like David Shaftel) live their adult lives.
