  • A fresh flavor for your Hanukkah traditions By JUDY BART KANCIGOR
    If there’s a run on potatoes at your market, blame it on Hanukkah. The holiday begins Tuesday night, and Jewish cooks will prepare mountains of latkes – those addictively crisp fried potato pancakes. How did the tradition begin?

  • Broughton: Here's how I would organize a grocery store BY SUZANNE BROUGHTON

  • Too much to drink? There's an app for that By: THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
    A new federally funded cellphone app allows people who may have had one too many to get an idea just how drunk they are — and hail a ride home.

  • Food report: Gourmet waffle shop opens in Newport Beach By NANCY LUNA
