Nobody Pairs It Like Sara Lee

Another innovation previewed at the National Restaurant Association's trade show this past weekend was Sara Lee's new coffee and dessert pairing tool. The pairing tool, which Sara Lee unveiled two weeks ago, is a response to the increasing diversity of coffee options in restaurants these days. It also takes the guesswork out of finding the right dessert to go with your decaf.

We've always believed that the best way to pair beverages and food is through trial and error. And anyone who reads the "BotW" posts knows that we occasionally offer recommended food pairings with our selections. Author and sommelier Natalie MacLean has also put together a wine and food matching system on her website. We forgot to ask her if it works with a BlackBerry, for when we're in a jam while we're out dining.
