Even if you've only seen an episode or two of an Anthony Bourdain series like "Parts Unknown," you probably know that he was a fan of street food and lower-key, mom-and-pop type restaurants. But that wasn't always the case — there was at least one fast food chain that he enthusiastically endorsed. That would be the chicken sandwich-averse In-N-Out Burger, known for its cult following and its refusal to expand beyond its hubs of California and Texas in order to preserve the quality of its menu.

Along with peaches and plums, cherries are classified as a stone fruit, aptly named for the hard and inedible seed-shielding pit at their center. The hand-staining and time-consuming process of removing these small stones can be annoying even with a dedicated pitter. And sometimes, cherry pits can accidentally slip through.
