• Wealthy Mitt Romney is just like everyone else, and he proved it by eating at McDonald’s. [Note/ABC News]

• TV producers are attempting to heal the longstanding Pakistan-India rift with a reality cooking show called Foodistan — unfortunately, it’s not really working. [AP via HuffPo]

• The sandwiches at Zito’s Sandwich Shoppe in Park Slope are owner Marcello Bucca’s attempt to channel the Sunday suppers of his childhood, between bread.* [WSJ]

• Last year’s drought has beef supplies down and prices up. [USAT]

• But don’t think you can just switch to lamb — sheep farmers are having trouble keeping up with demand. [Salt/NPR]

*This post has been corrected to show that Zito’s is in Park Slope, not Greenwich Village. Clearly we need to eat more sandwiches.
