- Foobooz has word of Stephen Starr and Marc Vetri teaming up to launch Vetri on Wheels, a food truck.

- Sandwich blog Unbreaded has been acquired by Kraft Foods, leading them to shed their buns and rise anew as Untossed, a salad blog.

- Also on Unbreaded Untossed, there's first word of Iron Chef Jose Garces' new salad-centric concept, Lechuga.

- Yards Brewing is bringing back its legendary Old Ale in a 50-barrel run.

- Responding to immense customer demand, the Starbucks chain has launched 2-ounce Micra™ and 128-ounce Plenta™ beverage sizes.
