Growing up in Southwest Virginia, I heard adults say that the same people who welcomed Jesus on Palm Sunday were shouting "Crucify Him" less than a week later. We don't know if they were the same individuals, but the principal makes a point that unfortunately, General Hospital actress Tabyana Ali is experiencing.

They were so popular that in 2021, he opened another location in Spring Lake, New Jersey.

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.

What is more summery than an icy, sweet frozen drink? If the heat wave is getting to you, try whipping up this simple frozen strawberry lemonade. All you need is your choice of lemonade and some frozen strawberries. You can use store-bought lemonade, make your own from scratch, or a powdered version. As for strawberries, frozen ones are the easiest choice. If you'd rather use fresh, add at least two cups of ice until you reach a nice, frozen consistency.

Emeryville, CA

Dianne de Guzman is a deputy editor at Eater SF writing about Bay Area restaurant and bar trends, upcoming openings, and pop-ups. Chef Fernay McPherson debuted the second iteration of her restaurant Minnie Bell’s Soul Movement in the Fillmore District this past April, but now the original Emeryville location of the business is set to close as of Sunday, July 28. Located inside the Public Market on Shellmound Street, the soul food restaurant has called the Emeryville food hall home since 2018, first starting as a pop-up and then upgrading to a permanent kiosk. In a press release, McPherson says she decided to close the location “to focus all her efforts on her new restaurant in San Francisco’s Fillmore district, where she is a third-generation resident.”

Kemah, TX

When Choctaw chef David Skinner first launched his tasting menu restaurant Eculent in Kemah, he gave himself somewhat of a strategic ultimatum. “I told my wife, if it’s not doing well in five years, I’ll pull the plug,” he says. If it was, he’d give it 10 years. But a few years after its launch, the restaurant gained momentum. Skinner quickly earned a reputation as “the Willy Wonka” of dining, incorporating molecular gastronomy and high-tech cooking methods in a multisensory 30-course experience. Dishes like a plump cherry tomato packed with the full flavor of a BLT sandwich and rare ingredients like percebes, pricey gooseneck barnacles shipped from Spain, drew in diners from all around the country.
