If there is one institution in Ukraine impervious to the sweeping decommunization efforts of the last decade, it’s the Soviet-era canteen, or stolovaya as it’s usually referred to in Russian. An invention of the Soviet Union’s founding father Vladimir Lenin, the stolovaya (called yidalnia in Ukrainian) was meant to control scarce resources and “liberate” women from the kitchen by freeing them to pursue industrial occupations. Stolovayas were ubiquitous in the USSR, where recipes were standardized and dispersed across the union making dining in a stolovaya a nearly identical experience from Kyi...

New York (AFP) - A new French cafe is hoping to break into New York's notoriously competitive food scene while also offering opportunity to people with mental and cognitive disabilities.

The company's newest branch, Cafe Joyeux Lexington, has picked a cheery corner in the bustling Midtown business district for the company's American debut. Officially inaugurated on Thursday in parallel with World Dow...

By Hera Rizwan Mehran’s Steakhouse in Manhattan’s East Village has a series of glowing online reviews and a long waiting list of customers to its name. The food enthusiasts who gathered at the steakhouse to devour their meal last weekend were under the impression that they had finally secured a table at a highly exclusive, century-old chop house after waiting for years. This Manhattan Steakhouse seems like an out-of-reach restaurant with its all-time booked waiting list, except it isn't, because the restaurant does not exist. This one-night-only dining experience started as an inside joke whic...

Washington (AFP) - To tip, or not to tip? That is the question many Americans are grappling with in a country where the tip is king -- but even at a grocery store? Or for a bunch of flowers? "Either way, you feel guilty," said Matt Schottland, 41, in downtown Washington, a salad and a fruit juice in hand. In the United States, tipping is not a matter of debate in restaurants. A gratuity of around 15 to 20 percent of the value of a meal is a must, as it often makes up the bulk of the waiter's salary. But for a sandwich to go? For Schottland, outside of restaurants, the answer is generally no...

The fast-food giant notched 12.6 percent comparable sales growth globally in the quarter ending December 31. With the exception of China, where Covid-19 restrictions continued to depress sales, major markets including the United States, Japan and Germany all enjoyed solid growth. "Overall we're still seeing the consumer is resilient and it plays to our strengths as a system in terms of being well positioned on value," Chief Execut...

From the late French chef Alain Senderens's role in popularizing food and wine pairings to the wine recommendations of Cyril Lignac, chefs' interest in the world of wine is of course nothing new. But now an increasing number in France are getting even more closely involved in the actual creation of fine wines, like the many international celebrities who have put associated their name and image with top vintages. Among rosé wines from the French region of Provence, the Bandol appellation is famous for vintages associated with gastronomic pairings. Cradled by the sea breezes, the Var vineyards, ...

McDonald's announced plans Thursday for a "phased" partial reopening of restaurants in Ukraine, where operations have been shuttered since February due to the Russian invasion. The US burger chain will "reopen some restaurants in Kyiv and western Ukraine, where other businesses have safely reopened," Paul Pomroy, senior vice president for international operated markets, said in a message to employees. Pomroy cited requests from the company's Ukrainian employees for the relaunch to signify "a small but important sense of normalcy" in the besieged country. McDonald's suspended its operations in ...

The menu at The Canteen in southwest England doesn't just let diners know how much a dish costs. They can also check its carbon footprint. The carrot and beetroot pakora with yoghurt sauce is responsible for just 16 grams of CO2 emissions. The aubergines with a miso and harissa sauce with tabbouleh and Zaatar toast caused 675 grams of carbon dioxide. As customers weigh their options, the menu at the vegetarian restaurant in Bristol includes a comparison with a dish that it does not serve: the emissions from a UK-produced hamburger. "Three kilos for a burger, wow! I can't believe it," exclaimed...
