Decaf coffee drinkers may want to look through their pantry, as the FDA has now recalled thousands of pounds of ground coffee mislabeled as decaf. Our Family Traverse City Ground Coffee’s parent company, Massimo Zanetti Beverage USA, has issued a voluntary coffee recall for over 692 cases of mislabeled decaf coffee that does contain caffeine.

The mislabeled coffee was sold in 15 states: Colorado, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, Minnesota, North Carolina, North Dakota, Nebraska, Ohio, South Dakota, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. If you’ve purchased any of this coffee in those states, take note. The specific product affected by the recall is the Our Family Traverse City Cherry Flavored coffee, packaged in 12-ounce bags.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has classified this decaf coffee recall as Class II, which indicates a low risk of serious health consequences. However, exposure to the product may cause temporary or medically reversible health effects, especially in those taking medications that interfere with caffeine or who are highly sensitive to its effects. An Our Family Traverse City Ground Coffee representative stated that all other products sold are safe and unaffected by this recall, and that precisely one type of coffee was sold.

If you have purchased this variety of coffee within the affected states, you can verify if your coffee is affected by checking the product code below the barcode on the side of the coffee package. Affected products by this recall will have the following information listed on the bag:

I declare this the summer of rum: Drinking rum the right way with an expert

Alcohol, Beverage, Liquor

Look, I am a movie buff. Everything I ever learned about life I learned from or sparked an interest in a movie. So, when it comes to rum, my first impression of the drink came from watching Jack Sparrow drink it on a beach. Now, as I travel all over the Carribean, I have discovered that there is, in fact, an entire culture surrounding the consumption of this versatile liquor. Of course, I don’t just take movies at their word, and I dive deep into a subject to find out more about it once my interest is piqued. When it came to rum, I reached out to my friends over at Blue Chair Bay Rum and asked why I am seeing rum everywhere in the summer of 2026. So, why is rum the liquor of the summer?

Rum has an authentic connection to summer because it reflects the easygoing spirit of warm weather entertaining. Inspired by the relaxed spirit of the Caribbean, Blue Chair Bay Rum was co-founded by award-winning singer-songwriter Kenny Chesney, whose deep connection to the islands comes from years spent traveling, performing, and unwinding along their shores. He wanted to capture that feeling with a premium rum that is approachable and full of flavor while embodying effortless joy amongst friends. – Anthony Moniello, Chief Executive Officer of Next Century Spirits

Dining With the Ghosts of The Church of Rock ‘n’ Roll

Food, Food Presentation, Meal

If I could travel back in time to see any concert, I would probably catch a show at the Fillmore East. An intimate venue with superb sound, the Church of Rock ’n’ Roll saw legendary performances from a pantheon of rock gods. Hendrix, Janis, Lennon, the Doors—the roster reads like a Who’s Who of classic rock. The Allman Brothers recorded their finest live album, At Fillmore East, at the East Village venue.

Alas, I am not Doc Brown from Back to the Future. I was born a generation too late for the golden age of rock, and the Fillmore East closed its doors in 1971. My rock ’n’ roll heroes may have shed their mortal coils, but I can toast their ghosts at Cathédrale, a restaurant just a few blocks from where the hallowed stage once stood.
