A color temp of 3000K-3500K is just about perfect for making food look good. A color temp 2700K makes human skin tones look slightly better directly under the light, but it's more eye fatiguing and red. (All of my fluorescent kitchen lighting is 3000K.)
The CRI=82 for the Sylvania is a bit behind the 90+ for most of Cree's offerings, but still very decent for anything but the most stringent graphic-art specs. (I can't say I notice the difference, not that I'm a color-rendering purist. I notice color temp far more than CRI unless the CRI is in the 60s.)
