The National Restaurant Association recently published a table listing the top concerns for restaurants over a three-year period. Not surprising, as it has been reported on consistently, recruiting employees is the top concern for restaurants in fall of 2021, after Coronavirus shook up our economies and our definitions of success.

From banana bread to pumpkin bread to French-style yogurt cake, the easy baking recipes we keep returning to Banana bread became a pandemic staple for an obvious reason — baking in a loaf pan is possibly the easiest kind of baking there is. And as autumn practically demands a treat that’s simple and comforting and best paired with a warm beverage and some kind of knit throw, here now are the loaf cake (and yes, sometimes bread ) recipes that Eater’s editors return to for fall vibes

Everything Barcelona visitors need to know about the low-alcohol daytime affair, best enjoyed with canned seafood, cheeses, and olives. In Spain, vermouth is a verb as much as a noun — a lifestyle as much as a drink. Although an appetite-inducing glass of ice-cold vermouth is a thing of beauty on a Sunday afternoon, the drink, a bittersweet fortified wine that’s spiked with booze and infused with botanicals, is in many cases less important than its place in the city’s social fabric.

Seven meals a day won’t be enough There are some things you can be fairly sure of when you’re visiting Barcelona — a city that, as a travel destination, is not exactly untread territory. First and most reliably, there will be jamón. There will be Gaudí. There will be crusty hunks of bread rubbed with tomato and tall glasses of vermouth spritzed with soda — the latter preferably consumed in the late morning near a gathering of loud elder Catalonians.

I argued that, as consumers gradually become more acclimated to tech-enabled options like mobile ordering and click-and-collect, we were going to see chargebacks become more of a concern. Of course, at the time of writing, no one could have predicted the massive changes that were waiting just around the corner.
