Brew that coffee! Pour that OJ! And settle in this morning to catch up on what's happening in the world of food. Here's what we're reading (and watching) this week.

• Finally an answer to one of life's most perplexing questions: who the devil makes all those food trucks? (The New York Times)

• He's one of Amanda's favorite cookbook writers. We're obsessed with St. John Bread & Wine in London. Finally someone takes us behind the scenes into (what must be) the fabulous life of Fergus Henderson. (Bon Appetit)

• ... As opposed to some behind-the-scenes information we did NOT want to know: what's in a Twinkie. Check out the Twinkie Ingredient Project where, at least if you squint and cover the captions, the photos sure are pretty.

• But there's a whole 'nother set of politics on our plates: who knew liberals and conservatives eat differently? (Mashable)
