HUB-WIDE — Boloco is offering a few new specials for a limited time, inspired by the cuisine of the Middle East. There's a falafel burrito, a kale-quinoa burrito, pita chips, and lemon-mint slush. [Newsletter]

BEYOND THE HUB — A former Boston food blogger who now lives in Little Rock, Arkansas made international news today after a satire story about his alleged attempt to eat 413 Red Lobster biscuits (supposedly sending him into a butter-induced coma) got picked up by The Sun and beyond. Kevin Shalin is alive and well and tells Eater that he actually just had two biscuits. "They were good," he said. "The rest of the meal was awful." [HuffPo]
