Taco Works & Tio Rodrigo are teaming up for the ultimate “homegating” experience. While most of us won’t be joining the tailgate at Raymond James Stadium or even making the trek to our local sports bars, millions of Americans will be flooding stores, stocking fridges and settling in for some “homegating” to finish up football season during the Super Bowl at February 7. California chip company Taco Works and Tio Rodrigo Craft Beer Micheladas are spicing up this year’s Game Day experience with the world’s first Tortilla Chip Lager. The two small businesses are cracking into a new homegating tradition by combining the greatest party staples in history.

Let’s hope we will be celebrating our soccer ‘European Championship’ this summer! If possible in the stadiums but if ‘homegating’ is our only option, it will even bring a lot of positive excitement. This article is inspiration for all beer brands, start thinking on what you can bring to our homes to complete the joy of watching a great game!

24-1-2021

  • The 'Nothing But Stuffed Crust' by Pizza Hut
  • The Original Stuffed Crust' by Pizza Hut

To celebrates 25 Years of its iconic, can’t-be-duplicated, original stuffed crust® Pizza, Pizza Hut created the limited-edition ‘Nothing But Stuffed Crust’.  In honor of the ORIGINAL Stuffed Crust, Pizza Hut has done the unimaginable, taking the most craveable part of the Original Stuffed Crust pizza and letting it shine on its own. These new ‘Nothing But Stuffed Crust’ were exclusively available from January 5-7 in select Los Angeles and Dallas locations while supplies lasted.

Although the offer is no longer – we love the idea and it might be an inspiration for small Italian restaurants and pizzerias. We think it sounds delicious, ‘a literal ring of golden-brown crust baked to perfection with cheesy goodness inside’!

Natural Machines is the first manufacturer to give people access to a compact 3D food printer at home. They want to see it become just another appliance like a microwave or toaster on your kitchen counter. Foodini – great name for a food printing device by the way – does not make use of ordinary food cartridges like most food printers on the market, instead users can fill the 5 containers with fresh ingredients of their choice.

It looks, tastes and pulls apart like chicken but is 100% plant-based. It is made for carnivores and suitable for vegans.
