• NJ Restaurants Prepare for This Month's Request-Only Utensil Mandate Roll-Out (totalfood.com) — Red Bank restaurants are already used to request-only plastic utensils, and now similar rules are rolling out statewide, changing how takeout and delivery orders handle forks, napkins and condiment packets.
