Yes, this is a chip made of beans. And rice. Complete protein? Check it out for yourself at the Beanitos Launch Party: Tuesday, January 5 at 11am at the Long Center.

A Report on Carillon’s Fantastic Tasting Menu
Due to a series of very fortunate events, I ended up getting to go try Carillon’s tasting menu when I thought I wouldn’t get to this week. It was INCREDIBLE. Also, for the record, Carillon is pronounced “Carol – yawn” and you don’t need reservations. Also it turns out that the 3-Course Tasting is $30…

So hot: Taste the entire Carillon for $30!
