Two words: Bone marrow. Bone marrow, I might add, that my ten-year-old kid — who, like most kids his age, normally subsists on pizza, pasta, burgers and bacon — refused to share. Can you guess where I’m eating? Special bonus: Anyone who gives the first correct answer to the week’s…

Real or fake? Below are eleven food trends and concepts that could be real or made up. It’s up to you to guess which is which. (Let us know in the comments section.) After all, who would’ve thought there would be cupcake trucks driving around Denver selling the sugar high…
