If you’ve been anticipating the arrival of Daikaya’s cold hiyashi ramen, you’ll have to wait a little longer. One of the key ingredients has been held up by the Food and Drug Administration en route from Japan. No, Daikaya isn’t importing anything exotic or illicit. Co-Owner Daisuke Utagawa says the missing ingredient is part of the […]
When I was a child, I would read the ingredients on food packages. Nearly every package I picked up began with the same ingredient. “What’s high fructose corn syrup?” I asked my Mom. “I don’t know,” my mom said, “but we could certainly get rich from se…
When you’re looking for a healthy meal to order at a restaurant, even a limited menu can present a challenge. Dishes that sound healthy at first glance — say, teriyaki-glazed halibut — aren’t always so, and the truly healthy items can be buried within flavorful descriptions.
Though it can seem impossible to pick out the healthy dishes, neuroscientist and Foodist author Darya Rose tells #OWNSHOW that there are secret code words that you should be on the lookout for next time you’re dining out.
Sure, most people know to steer clear of anything with the words “fried,” “crispy” or “smothered,” but that’s not all that’s on Rose’s list of what to avoid.
“Definitely keep an eye out for the word ‘glazed,'” Rose suggests. “That’s basically a code word for ‘sugar’ or ‘syrup…’ Sometimes they can add as much sugar as the equivalent of four doughnuts!”
Just as there are unhealthy trigger words on restaurant menus, there are also words and phrases that signify something healthy. Rose’s top picks? “Rubbed,” “spiced,” “baked” and “broiled.”
“These things all add flavor without adding extra calories,” she says.

SALVADOR, Brazil (AP) — Waffle House doesn’t serve Belgian waffles and certainly won’t start now.
The Georgia-based restaurant chain took to its Twitter account Monday to proclaim, “We don’t believe in Belgium waffles.” Or Belgian waffles, as a follower quickly corrected. But the sentiment, a riff on American fans’ “I believe that we will win” chant,” was popular a day before the U.S. faces Belgium in the World Cup.

Restaurant spokeswoman Meghan Irwin says it’s all in good fun. Earlier, when a follower asked for the restaurant’s opinion on Belgian waffles, it tweeted: “We dominate them.”
Waffle House serves American-style waffles. Belgian waffles are bigger with a lighter batter.
In Belgium, waffles have been a part of the diet for centuries. But so-called Belgian waffles aren’t really served in that country. There are Brussels waffles and Liege waffles.
