As contentious debates go, the dispute between Palestine and Israel is right up there near the top. Many lives have been lost and a peace accord has been elusive. It's not a discussion one would expect to be addressed between two chefs, on either side of the divide, aired over social media, but that is exactly what happened yesterday. 
Controversial globe shot: Can you spot what's missing?

This weekend, Mai Village Vietnamese restaurant on University Avenue was the site of a ribbon-cutting ceremony that kicked off the citywide campaign to rebrand the eastern end of the Central Corridor light rail line as an East Asian business district called Little Mekong, reports MPR News . This concerted community effort hopes to follow in the footsteps of popular Minneapolis destination dining district Eat Street and aims not to exclude or eclipse other ethnic groups in the neighborhood, but to highlight the unique restaurants and businesses and encourage more non-Asian people to explore this area.

Domino's Pizza recently released an application for iPad called Pizza Hero, a game-based way to create and order a pizza while you're on the go (or, let's be real, on the couch). For people who still like to speak to a human being when they are giving out credit card information, and are content to leave the dough-rolling up to the professionals, it seems like this would not be the best solution. On the other hand, by allowing customers to choose their ingredients and virtually "make" the pizza they want to eat IRL, Domino's could eliminate errors in orders and provide faster and service. 
The Pizza Hero app: Are you game?
Maybe it comes down to a simpler question. Pizza Hero: kinda stupid? Or kinda cool? Please join in the Dish-cussion in the comment area below, and click to see a video of the new app.
