What's the country reading today, foodwise? Here's a roundup of some of the food-related stories from other newspapers, many of which print their food sections midweek. And remember, even if you don't actually buy papers these days (or not; this paper is free), it's where most of your content comes from. Surf away. Just remember that spilling your macchiato over your keyboard is a lot more expensive than spilling it across newsprint.

In the Los Angeles Times, 2 1/2 stars for Josef Centeno's Bäco Mercat; Sang Young gives a master class on braising; and where to go for dumplings in L.A.

At The New York Times, Eric Asimov considers Côte-Rôtie; the advantages of eating mindfully, as Buddhists do; and checking out single-serve coffee brewers.
