There are so many options to choose from. Whether it be chain restaurants or local businesses, there are no shortages of great food here in Kentucky. At many of these restaurants, one of the most popular side dishes is mac and cheese. I mean, let's face it, mac and cheese is pretty much one of the best comfort foods there is.

Video: 2 Illinois Dogs Tied the Knot
On the South Side of Chicago, two dogs proved that it's more than puppy love as they got married on Saturday. About a year ago Comedian Gabriel Iglesias threw a $100,000 Quinceañera for his chihuahua. As a dog lover, I am no stranger to spoiling dogs. However, I think we can all agree that shelling out $100,000 for a dog party is too far. But hey, if you have the money, how you spend it is your business. Back in 2018 actress Sofia Vergara put together a huge birthday party for her son's dog. So, I guess this is a thing and anything is paws-ible.

Frozen Texas Roadhouse Rolls Headed to Walmart Stores in Indiana
Texas Roadhouse is now selling "mini rolls" in the freezer section at Walmart, and yes, they come with a Honey Cinnamon Glaze. I don't know what Texas Roadhouse does to their rolls, but whatever they're doing, I hope they never stop. I've never met a single person who said they didn't like those rolls, and it's safe to say I could probably tackle a whole basket on my own. Not only are they the lightest and fluffiest bunch of carbohydrates you can shove into your mouth, they also come with the restaurant's signature honey cinnamon butter. For me, that butter is what makes these rolls even more addictive.
