Here's what was being written about today in the world of food and dining news:

• Fat City kicks things off with the puzzling news of a new White Castle-scented candle. You know it's a questionable product when the profits are going to charity, and you'd rather just donate money directly.

Is that grease and regret I smell?

• Short Order is getting ready for Mother's Day by taking a look at 10 TV mom's who know their way around a kitchen. If only we had a dollar for every stack of TV pancakes that went entirely uneaten...

• Cafe Society is ready to get their drink on with a list of five perfect spring party wines. Not a single one of them comes in a box, so you know they're classy.

• And lastly, Stick a Fork In It is pointing out housewarming gifts to avoid, talking trash about the electric chip and dip set. Apparently, it's the most dangerous kitchen gadget since The Corn Baller.
