Comments from Today’s Crossword Constructor

Will: This puzzle took inspiration from a few different places. One was a USA Today puzzle that had entries that used the vowels AEIOU in order, which I thought was a really intriguing idea. I also owe a debt to a 2020 Boswords puzzle by Sid Sivakumar, that used the revealer FIVE-SECOND RULE for entries like BAHAMA MAMA and PANAMA CANAL. After hitting on the title, I found there were a whole raft of lively options that Sid hadn't used.

The only vowel in each theme answer is the letter A.

I give this puzzle an A, of course! A great set of theme answers today. I also enjoyed the plethora of food references in this puzzle. Thank you, Will, for this grade A puzzle.
