Food news to know right now

Happy Monday, humans. Let's make brunch great again. In other news, Shake Shack is giving away free burgers tomorrow; are you eating illegal tamales?; check out the inside of NYC's newest Eataly; FLOTUS and Rachael Ray are cover girls; where to take a dip in a pool full of sprinkles; and more.

— Speaking of Dallas: NYC's Dean & Deluca, the gourmet marketplace known for fancy spreads and pricey produce, is opening a location in Dallas next year.

— Slip into the new Eataly in downtown Manhattan, a Narnia world made of bread and pasta.

— Last week came more news to back up the doomsday scenarios industry analysts have been predicting for the past few months: Ruby Tuesdays is downsizing in a major way after slumping sales and missed earnings. This after all Ruby Tuesdays locations shuttered in Illinois, and the chain — improbably — partnered with Tesla.

— The myth behind those compostable coffee pods.

— Presidential Election 2016 Tracking: Republican VP hopeful Mike Pence was in Columbus, Ohio this past weekend and stopped by a local restaurant — Joe Willy's Burger Bar — to, well, not eat burgers but pose for photos, shake some hands, and take some selfies.

— FLOTUS is on the cover of Everyday with Rachael Ray this month:
