Hello All, we wanted to follow up to let you know that we've reconsidered "Snack Break" based on your feedback, and have renamed this feature "First Dibs Fridays." Thanks for your input -- always appreciated!

Thanks for your thoughts about the name Snack Break -- it was intended to be lighthearted and appealing, but we hear you, and are thinking about whether or not it works. On the other topic of commerce, we want to be very clear: we don't sell products just to make more revenue. We sell kitchen and home goods because we want to be the very best resource for all of your kitchen and home needs, whether it be a great recipe for dinner, an answer to your question about seasoning a pan, or candlesticks for your table.

I must concur with the other posters. I used to rave about Food 52 being the best food/cooking site out there. I barely check in now because the focus is ALWAYS about selling you some grossly overpriced crap. I'll check in from time to time but pretty much over Food 52.

I'm sorry to seem so critical and didn't really mean to. I love this site. It's the best out there as far as foodie info and recipes out there. The retail sales side of it just seems a bit too much sometimes. The things offered are top notch but generally boutique and way overpriced and for quite awhile now it seems these items are the focus of the website. I'm still a loyal visitor but just a bit disappointed in the retail side of it. I realize that you have to generate revenue but the spirit of the site seems to have shifted.
Sorry for saying overpriced crap. I should have said overpriced cool stuff that I wish I could afford.

This is terrible marketing. It doesn't even sound like you're selling food? Also people usually bring their own or have their own snacks, so the metaphor of the snacks being gone falls flat.

Food52 has become less about food and recipes and more about selling...selling...selling. Over it.
