Top 6 Food News Stories of the Week [VIDEO]

Summer is in full swing, and that means, there are plenty of summer-related and heat-inspired food stories to cover for the week ending in June 29th.

This week, we were witness to a woman who got in a car crash and left her kids to eat ice cream in the nude. If that’s not summer, I don’t know what is.

Also making headlines this week was Carl’s Jr.’s promotion that will grant customer’s a free Grilled Cheese Bacon Burger if you come to a restaurant dressed as Spiderman. Rounding out the week’s most popular stories include high food prices in Canada, deep fried cereal at summer fairs, a questionably ironic Wendy’s Frosty giveaway and the Popeyes partnership with Zatarains.
