We may be caught up in Dining Month, but we haven't forgotten how to steer you toward things that we think are cool. This week in the editorial office, we're recommending a delicious dessert from Outpost Natural Foods, a great baking device, some hearty whiskey, a good new breakfast spot and a do-it-yourself way to check out groceries.

Super Bowl Sunday a feeding frenzy
Super Bowl Sunday has become as much a holiday as Thanksgiving and New Year's. That's an appropriate analogy, considering Americans spend nearly as much money on food and drinks for Super Bowl parties as they do for "traditional" holiday gatherings. And while the game itself is still the centerpiece, what's being served is becoming just as popular as the commercials.

Know your onion! And your tomato, lettuce, etc.
One of the biggest issues concerning the green movement is the source of food. We've all heard the staggering stats; that in the U.S., our food travels an average of 1,500 miles via various modes of gas-guzzling transportation before it reaches our plates. The lesson to take away from this? Eat locally, as much as is possible.

Great places to get a drink ... that aren't bars
We think of bars as the places to do our drinking, but you can imbibe responsibly away from the smoke and the noise and the smell of day-old beer, too. Here are a few suggestions.

Fresh Market adds another option for upscale grocery shopping
The focus is on food and service at The Fresh Market, a new upscale grocery store in Brookfield Square. The food and amenities at the new are impressive, but they aren't particularly unique.
