Welcome Week 1 of 2020. It seems like only two decades ago that computers were going to blow up the earth when the clock struck 2000. In honor of the 20th anniversary of the Y2K bug, here’s a quote from Dec. 31, 1999:
“At least the food is good.” – A spokesman at the national Y2K response center.

New Year, new you – as the old saying goes. Dieting and gym memberships are going to spike this month. That’s just a fact of life. But is eating less – significantly less – really the way to go? Here’s a piece on intermittent fasting from ABC News:
Proponents say intermittent fasting helps with weight loss in other ways. For instance, they say it forces your body to start burning its own fat for fuel after depleting the energy it normally gets from food. But any effects would depend on the specific approach you take, and [Krista] Varady said there isn’t strong evidence yet that intermittent fasting has any unique effects compared with other diets.

WEAR OF THE WEEK
One of the aprons appearing on the show is our Manhattan Bib Apron. Part of our Urban Collection, the Manhattan is heavy on the fashion – with reverse fabric ties and pockets. But it’s also got a healthy dose of function with over-sized front pockets and a zipper chest pocket.
The waist and half bistro styles are also a popular front-of-house option!
