We've got news to quench your craving.
That Was The Week That Was aired in America on NBC from 1964 to 1965. The recurring cast -- David Frost, Henry Morgan, Alan Alda and Buck Henry -- would present the prior weeks news in satirical manner. You might think of it as a precursor to Saturday Night Live's Weekend Update. 

That's a long-winded way of saying I'm taking the name and using it to categorize our weekly wrap up. Gastronomically speaking, this past week was an exceptionally good one -- excepting the sad news that New Jersey Governor Chris Christie will not seek the Republican Presidential nomination. But we'll get to the ramifications of that in a bit. Let's start with better stuff.

On Sunday, The New York Times Magazine came out with its Fourth Annual Food And Drink issue. Mark Bittman explains, in the intro, that this years theme is the answering of questions -- like What's the Single Best Way to Make Coffee? (grinding beans with a burr grinder just before making it).

This week we profiled two muralists, one whose art graces the walls of two local restaurants, the other a guy who just knows where to get good eats. We also previewed an arts festival jam packed with good food and a pop-up cocktail lounge to quench your thirst during the Wynwood Art Walk. It was an arts and food kind of week here at Short Order. But here are some other goodies you may have missed.
