Bombshells, Mr. and Mrs. G's: San Antonio Current's biggest food stories of 2022

It probably shouldn't be a surprise that San Antonio's top food news stories ran the gamut from openings and closures to expansions and festivals. Our city's culinary pros work tirelessly to broaden our epicurean horizons, after all.

What may come as a shock, however, is that three of our five most-read food stories for the entire year focused on the 25-and-up age limit phenomenon that hit a pair of local bars. Did anyone see that trend coming?

There was also a smattering of meat-focused news — testicles and chubs, specifically. (We can't make this shit up.) And, if the numbers are any indication, readers apparently got excited about SA's current sushi boom.

Dying to learn more? Hunker down with your emotional support snack of choice and read on for the Current's 20 most-read food news stories of 2022.
