Apparently this is a thing now in Japan...huh.. Beer and Food Pairings at Epicurious F or centuries, if you asked a restaurant server in any mid-range to upscale American eatery what drink to pair with a certain dish, he'd bring over the sommelier and a wine bottle negotiation would ensue. But in the last five years, there's been a paradigm shift: Beer has made it onto the menu as more than an afterthought.

Copycat Recipe: Chocolate-Dipped Beer Marshmallows Yes, you read that right. Chocolate-dipped. Beer marshmallows. Oh, and they have a little crushed pretzel for a garnish. Want one? You probably saw the images of those beer-and-pretzel marshmallows from Chicago chocolatier Truffle Truffle making rounds in the blogosphere a few weeks ago. • Beer and Pretzel Marshmallows, from Truffle Truffle ($10 for 4 pieces, $30 for 12 pieces) Making them ourselves proved to be something of a challenge.
