• While the recession takes its toll on the restaurant industry, Tim Hortons seems to be unaffected. Its first quarter numbers were high, and the company’s showing in the U.S. market remains strong. [National Post]

• Carb Kringles: the potato farmers of Prince Edward Island donate 18,000 kilograms of their spuds to a Boston food bank. [CBC]

Ryan Seacrest Productions takes on Jamie Oliver in an upcoming reality show. The chef will travel to unhealthy American cities, giving residents tips on better eating. We believe it’s Oliver’s career that will emerge the healthiest. [Entertainment Weekly]
