Things worth waiting in line for (or not), Bey's hot sauce, and a new page for wine writing.

5 of the best things we read this week:

• The ubiquitous line for the Next. Big. Food. Thing. [Grub Street]
• Wondering what to gift you date this Valentine's Day? Might we suggest a marzipan brain? [Atlas Obscura]
• Beyoncé's hot sauce lyric isn't just a declaration of her love of spicy food—it's a commentary on Black American culture. [Eater]

• Wine writing's new frontier. [Food & Wine]
• Want to eat dinner with locals in Japan? There's an app for that. [Saveur]
