Gwyneth Paltrow Hit Back At Someone Who Asked If She Actually Cooks
In between all the hypnotic colon cell cleanses and spiritual past-life facials, it can sometimes be overlooked that Gwyneth Paltrow is a cookbook author. She’s written four cookbooks so far – 2011’s My Father’s Daughter, 2013’s It’s All Good, 2016’s It’s All Easy, and most recently, The Clean Plate: Eat, Reset, Heal.
But there are some people out there who think that just because Gwyneth has slapped her name on a cookbook doesn’t necessarily mean she’s actually stood in a kitchen, sweating over a pot of steamed celery leaves. People says that someone recently called her out, and she hissed back that yes, she does know her ass from a spatula.
Guy Fieri Offers To Make Radioactive Ribs For The Area 51 Raid
Unless you live under a rock or don’t have THAT crazy family member texting endlessly about government conspiracies, then you’ve probably heard of Storm Area 51. Which is basically a bunch alien truth(ers) who are going to storm area 51 to get access to all the governments secrets regarding Aliens. And to also figure out where the fuck ALF is?! No one’s seem him in years and then the Alf dad just happens to die. Strange.
This whole Storm Area 51 mess is gaining more and more traction which means it’s getting more and more credence with celebs like, Guy Fieri, talking about it. And by “credence,” I mean BBQsauce.
Arby’s Is Offering $6 Trips To Hawaii, But There’s A Catch
Arby’s is offering the most Arby’s promotion of all time. They are flying ten people to Hawaii to try their new Hawaii-themed sandwiches, but here’s the catch: YOU HAVE TO FLY HOME THE SAME DAY. You know what that means, you are going to have to have your Arby’s diarrhea in a tiny plane bathroom.
Ice-T Insists He’s Never Had A Bagel Or Coffee
The Twitter was in a frenzy yesterday over Ice-T announcing that he has never in his entire life eaten a bagel, despite being an actor playing a New York cop (three instant qualifiers for the consumption of bagels, one would think) on Law & Order: SVU for the past 18 years. And while we’re on the subject, Ice says says has also never had a cup of coffee in his entire life. Ice, why you gotta blow our minds like that?
A Popeyes PR Stunt Has Probably Created The World’s Longest Drive-Thru
Fried chicken doesn’t come easily in Boston, and that often means making it myself (HA!) or fooling some friend with a car into driving me to the outer suburbs to random chicken shacks to get my fix. Popeyes now has me wanting to fly Spirit down to Texas both to laud it for out-Kardashian-ing the Kardashians in the publicity stunt department AND to get my hands on some crispy chicken. The Takeout is reporting Popeye’s is creating a 12-hour drive-thru that requires you to order in Texas and pick up your food in New Orleans just to prove they actually marinate their chicken for half a day before they fry it. Who’s up to recreate Crossroads in the name of golden poultry, y’all?!
If you happen to drive through Fort Stockton, Texas, and see a random-ass Popeye’s ordering sign, it’s not just random. Popeye’s built the thing and – for one day only – will let you order chicken and then pick it up (on the house) in New Orleans. You have to order during a 24-hour period from November 9th to the 10th and then hoof it to the Big Easy, but let’s be real: we’ve all done a lot more for a lot less. Those who make the drive are also eligible to win an entire year’s worth of chicken, which honestly has me getting quotes on how much it costs to get a one-way Avis rental from Fort Stockton to Bourbon Street. Now, some naysayers think it isn’t worth it since you’d spend nearly $60 in gas for a free meal that’s only worth about $10. PSHAW, I say! At least you can pair this publicity chicken with a daiquiri and strippers around the corner on Bourbon Street. That’s way more than those goody goodies at Chick-fil-A can offer with their own stunt queen shit!

McDonald’s Is Pulling Salads From 3000 Locations After A Parasite Outbreak
Mark it down in your calendars. Today is the single moment in history when it’s more likely that you’ll die eating a salad from McDonald’s than anything else. Take THAT vegans!
GrubStreet is reporting that Ronald McDonald done farmed the wrong lettuce. After a huge romaine lettuce E. coli outbreak finally was given the all clear back in May, the FDA has more bad news for lettuce-lovers. They released some statements saying they were investigating an outbreak of cyclosporiasis, which is an illness caused by an intestinal parasite. The FDA says the outbreak was “likely linked” to McDonald’s salads. In response, McDonald’s said on Friday that it was voluntarily removing all salads from the menu of 3,000 locations across 14 states. A spokesperson said: “Out of an abundance of caution, we decided to voluntarily stop selling salads at impacted restaurants until we can switch to another lettuce blend supplier.” “Abundance of caution” could also be worded to: “Avoid getting sued.”
