It's the afternoon, and you deserve a break. Sit back, pour yourself a glass, and enjoy these food stories from around the Internet.
You guys, this is kind of a sad day: the identity of @ruthbourdain, that mysterious and hilarious food-parodying Twitter character, has been revealed. It's freelance writer Josh Friedland. Not as climactic as we'd have liked. [NY Times]
Another formerly semi-anonymous food personality, Sam Sifton, will be stepping out of his national editor post and stepping back to the dining beat as a senior editor. Real news just isn't as fun as eating lots of dinners at four-star restaurants, we guess. [Eater]
Chechnya doesn't really have a cuisine to call their own. Here's why. [Roads and Kingdoms]
Another reason Ryan Gosling is pretty much the perfect human: He hates the gestation crates that pig farmers use to keep sows from fighting. And he's written an op-ed for the Globe and Mail to let everybody know about it. [Grub Street, Globe and Mail]
Some bubbly, congratulating @ruthbourdain for staying under cover THAT long.
