The World Food Championships Crowns Ten Category Champions and Announces Final Table Challenge Destination Source: World Food Championships October 22, 2019 11:11 ET The World Food Championships Crowns Ten Category Champions and Announces Final Table Challenge Destination DALLAS, Texas, Oct. 22, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The largest culinary competition in the world made its Dallas debut this weekend and crowned ten new champions at the Reunion Tower Lawn. The World Food Championships (WFC) attracted to Texas more than 1,400 cooks from 42 states and 15 countries during its 8th annual search for the best culinary athletes and artisans from around the globe. Each champion won $10,000 and a seat at the event’s Final Table in the Spring of 2020, where they’ll compete in Indianapolis for the event’s $100,000 bonus prize. The winners who emerged from the Main Event had to complete three rounds of challenges in the following categories: Barbecue, Bacon, Burger, Chef, Chili, Dessert, Recipe, Sandwich, Seafood and Steak. In this event, which kicked off the term Food Sport in 2012, the contestants come from all types of culinary backgrounds — from home cooks to trained chefs to professional cook teams. “This was an epic culinary showdown,” commented Mike McCloud, president and CEO of WFC. “The amount of collective talent was the best we have ever seen, and it was evident in the results as we saw the tightest scores in our eight-year history. Dallas and the whole State of Texas rolled out the red carpet for our Food Champs, and we are truly excited about establishing roots for our Main Event in this extraordinary city.” The following ten champions will be moving on to the Indianapolis Final Table in May: 2019 World Food Category Champions: Bacon World Champion - Jodi Taffel (Altadena, Calif.) Winning Dish: Bacon Steak On Sweet Corn & Jalapeño Nage with Bacon Caviar World Barbecue Champion - Ryan Murphy (Kansas City, Mo.)

Winning Dish: Pan-Seared Scallops with Caviar Champagne Beurre Blanc World Steak Champion - Ryan Hegland (Lakeville, Minn.) Winning Dish: Tomahawk Wagyu Ribeye with Elote and Seared Scallops With regards to the selection of Indianapolis as host, McCloud stated: “Indianapolis is simply an exciting place to be in today’s culinary world and one of the premier hospitality cities in the country. The city and state have been on our radar over the past few years as we have continued to hear about and experience Indiana’s voice through their competitors, their fantastic products and the glowing reviews from national media.” During McCloud’s Final Table announcement, he was joined on the World Food Championships stage by Indiana Lieutenant Governor Suzanne Crouch, who traveled to Dallas to support Team Indiana at the championships. “Our capital city and the entire State of Indiana welcomes the World Food Championships Final Table and see this event as a great opportunity to showcase the ‘Culinary Crossroads of America’,” said Lt. Gov. Crouch. “Indiana has played host to the largest sporting events in the world, and we take great pride in being the state where champions are crowned. Having the Final Table during the month of May will make it even more special for the competitors and guests as they experience the city and state during the hosting of the Indianapolis Grand Prix and lead up to Indianapolis 500.” Indianapolis has been recognized by Zagat as one of the “30 Most Exciting Food Cities” and named by Condé Nast Traveler as one of 2018’s best cities for domestic travel.

The rate of change and innovation in our lifetime is amazing. It is simply impossible to keep up. I remember making calls on a telephone on the wall in the kitchen with a long, coiled cord that I would stretch around the wall as far as I could and talk as quietly as possible. My family was on a party line, this meant your neighbors—if they were nosy—could listen in to your calls. We typed on electric typewriters in high school and in college we had to go to a computer lab to type our papers. How things have changed! We have two daughters that are Generation Z. This generation has grown up in a world where the term “personal smart devices” seems completely normal. They have a personal computer and a smart phone that keeps them in constant contact with everyone. Facetime means we get to see our college student as we talk to him across the country. My high school daughter tells me about Tweets from our President she has read during the day. And we “Google” to find facts when we have a family debate.

  • No Maccas in the Hills! Locating the Planning History of Fast Food Chains
    U H P H 2 0 1 6 I c o n s : T h e M a k i n g , M e a n i n g a n d U n d o i n g o f U r b a n I c o n s a n d I c o n i c C i t i e s | 468 No Maccas in the Hills! Locating the planning history of fast food chains Dr Elizabeth Taylor Centre for Urban Research, RMIT University [email protected] Dr David Nichols Faculty of Architecture Building and Planning, The University of Melbourne [email protected] The rise of the ‘fast food’ concept as it is understood in the 21st century is the result of a series of calibrations enacted over decades by business, society and technology. The expansion of fast food franchising has paralleled social and environmental change, particularly since the middle of the 20th century. Its origins may be seen as modernism’s response to unease with the processing of food under industrial conditions; yet its development as a ‘system’ has mirrored or inspired innovation in service delivery, construction and social expectation over the last century. Many of these are connected to the rise of the automobile and the expansion of low-density suburbia. Fast food’s planning history has gone largely undocumented. The fast food outlet is so ubiquitous that while critics might decry its products as a negative influence on health, the outlet might nonetheless be said to be hiding in plain sight: in the guise of just one more manifestation of automobile-led change.

  • Do You Remember These? (As Published in the Oak Ridger’S Historically Speaking Column on September 20, 2011)
    Do you remember these? (As published in The Oak Ridger’s Historically Speaking column on September 20, 2011) Often readers send items of interest to them that they feel might be of interest to other readers and suggest a Historically Speaking column might help spread the word. While I certainly do appreciate the help, not everything I am sent can be included in a column. The material for this column is an example of research material that was shared with me well over a year ago and maybe more. I do not have a record of who sent it. I came as a typewritten list in alphabet order, without a name or date. A pet peeve of mine is that I believe ALL documents should have a date originated and the name of the person creating the information. If you created this list of businesses in Oak Ridge that are no more, please let me know so I can properly credit your work. With the interest generated by the Facebook group, “I remember when in Oak Ridge, TN … Favorite Memories created by Gayla Bailey, now up to over 2,000 members, the spin off group from “I remember when…” named “Secret City Kids” with over 500 members and growing and the group, “You know you’re from Oak Ridge when…,” I have decided to publish this list. I think it will generate even more memories to share. Do you remember these? 5 & 10 stores, 7-11 stores, 84 Lumber, A& P, Abbott Laboratories, Adroit Office Supply, Alexander Motor Inn, Anderson's Hilltop Market, Arcade Shoe Repair, Ark Lanes, Atomic City Auto Parts (Belgrade), Atomic City café (on Illinois), Atomic tool & Die, Atomic

  • Documentation for the CSAFII/DHKS 1989-91 Data
    Differences Between Current and Original Release of CSFII/DHKS 1989-91 Dataset and Documentation Please be advised that the data available from past USDA food consumption surveys reflect the foods and their nutrient values that were available at the time of the particular survey. Each survey was designed to assess the dietary status of the U.S. population at that particular time. It is important to consider that survey methods and operations including questionnaire wording, data processing methods, and the survey nutrient database used to calculate the dietary intake were updated from survey to survey based on new data and methods available at the time. Comparing data across surveys must take into account these types of changes. Some research has addressed the impact of changes in methods and/or databases between selected surveys. References are included in the respective surveys’ report sections on this site. Please study the complete dataset documentation before using the dataset. Nearly all the information provided with the original release continues to be applicable for the new release. However, some changes have been made to data formats and other items, so please keep the following points in mind as you read the documentation: • The data are now available online in SAS7 files (.sas7bdat) rather than on magnetic tape in ASCII fixed format files or on CD-ROM to be accessed using SETS software. • The formats documents from the original release (e.g., rt15.fmt) are superseded by new documents (e.g., rt15fmt.txt). • References to implied decimals are no longer relevant. The SAS variables carry the appropriate number of decimal places.
