Low-carb couple booted from buffet

A Utah couple on a low- carb diet were kicked out of a buffet restaurant after the manager said they'd eaten too much roast beef.
Sui Amaama, who along with his wife have been on the Atkins Diet for two weeks, was asked to leave after he went up to the buffet at the Chuck-A-Rama in suburban Taylorsville for his 12th slice of roast beef.
"It's so embarrassing actually," said Isabelle Leota, Amaama's wife.
"We went in to have dinner, we were under the impression Chuck-A-Rama was an all-you-can-eat establishment."
Not so, said Jack Johanson, the restaurant chain's district manager.
"We've never claimed to be an all-you-can-eat establishment," said Johanson.
"Our understanding is a buffet is just a style of eating."

I’ll be back … in the pub

It's called "Governator" beer -- and Portland Brewing Co. CEO Jerome Chicvara says he was surprised that no California brewer thought of it first.
The brewing veteran says the 3,200 cases bearing the Pumping Iron label are a humorous tribute to the 38th governor of California, "Terminator" actor Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Coffee = Health Drink

It is a daily routine for millions of Italians - the morning cup of espresso brewed on the kitchen hob or downed swiftly in a cafe on the way to work.
But for years their favourite way of kick-starting the day has had a bad press - most recently when it was reported that doctors had told British Prime Minister Tony Blair to drink less coffee.

Duped Wendy’s managers order strip search

Four local Wendy's restaurant supervisors ordered employees to shed their clothes under the direction of phony phone calls from a man who passed himself off as a cop conducting an investigation, police said.
"Words simply cannot express how badly we feel about the entire incident," Wendy's spokesman Bob Bertini said. "Obviously we had managers who were duped. They thought they were responding to direct orders from police."

PETA Accuses KFC of Animal Cruelty

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals is suing KFC Corp., claiming the fast-food giant is misleading the public by denying it mistreats hundreds of millions of chickens headed for its outlets each year.
The lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court yesterday, claims more than 700 million chickens slaughtered each year for KFC chicken restaurants "often endure suffering, often intense, for most, or all, of their lives."
The lawsuit is the culmination of a six-month campaign waged by PETA against KFC and its parent company, Yum! Brands Inc., to force the company to adopt standards designed to maintain and slaughter them more humanely.
