The sprouts are coming back, y'all.

Know how everyone can be having a good time, hanging out, eating their beach club sandwiches, and all of a sudden, bam, E. coli shows up all Scumbag Steve-like and ruins the party? That's sort of what happened earlier this year when multiple food poisoning outbreaks caused national sandwich franchise Jimmy John's to be all, We're totally dropping sprouts from our menus, for, like, ever, man. And everyone was all like, But that's the best part, dude! Now it looks like the breakup wasn't for good after all.

Trader Joe's: We're waiting...

Read also: Is Trader Joe's Coming to Palm Beach Gardens?

Last week we shared a rumor that had South Florida salivating over the thought of buying tomato-free corn salsa, frozen kale, and cheap wine from salespeople clad in tiki shirts.

We're referring, of course, to yet another rumor that Trader Joe's was looking to open a shop in Palm Beach county -- specifically at PGA Plaza in Palm Beach Gardens.

Your Gluten-Free Beer Might Not Be Gluten-Free

By Devin Desjarlais Fri., Jan. 6 2012 at 2:29 PM

Categories: Rumor Mill

If you're celiac, bitter beer is the least of your problems.

Scientists published a finding that all celiacs or gluten-intolerant individuals should pay attention to.

In late-2011, the American Chemical Society released a report in which they broke down the ingredients in beer, specifically focusing on hordein, prolamin glycoprotein present in barley and some other cereals.

What's significant about this specific element? Like wheat, rye, and barley, hordein falls under the "gluten" category.

The scientists decided to test 60 different types of beers for their hordein levels, using ELISA or "enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay."

And what they found was shocking.

Talia's Tuscan Table owner, Chef Andy Bennardo, behind the bar at Baba's Shrimp Shack

How does Guy Fieri choose the restaurants he features on his Food Network show Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

If it's anything like his upcoming prospect, Boca Raton restaurant Talia's Tuscan Table, it's got a lot to do with character. Character from the food, the customers -- and even the establishment's owners.

And that's something Talia's Table has plenty to go around.

Heidi Montag to star in VH1's new reality show where celebs revamp a restaurant

If you heard VH1 was filming a new reality television show called Famous Food, would you immediately envision a 30-minute reel where bleach-bottle blondes and moronic musicians try their hand at cooking? Or, even harder to believe, attempt to eat without purging?

Bellini's Coal Fired Pizza

The fire -- the coal fire, at least -- is out at Bellini's Coal Fired Pizza restaurant in Fort Lauderdale.

After opening its doors more than a year ago off North Federal Highway, the establishment -- whose coal-fired crusts needed a little "refining," according to New Times' former food critic, John Linn -- unexpectedly closed up shop recently with no word as to why.
