It's not often that a culinary heroine is tops at the box office over a big summer weekend — but that's exactly what happened this weekend. Julie & Julia was in the the top films, a nice moment for all of us home cooks watching our own obsessions play out across the big screen.
Details, plus an op-ed from Dan Barber about tomato blight (the culprit may be close to home), the latest bacon-ized food at the Indiana State Fair, and five foods that fix halitosis.
• Julie & Julia Second at the Box Office - It raked in 20.1 million.
• You Say Tomato, I Say Agricultural Disaster - Are home gardeners (and big box retailers) responsible for the devastating tomato blight?
• Five foods that fix bad breath - They're not just peppermint.
• Indiana State Fair food favorites - Including chocolate-dipped bacon.
• In downturn, cities grow fresh food where they can - More and more vacant lots are being used for farming in some cities.
Any other big food news this morning that we may have missed?

Charming and thoughtful, really want to see it again. I haven't been a fan of Ephron's movies up to now, but I have to hand it to her. And the interiors and the clothes are icing on the cake!
