Living in Philly for over a decade, I used to consider myself a cheesesteak fundamentalist — one who only prefers the traditional version of the iconic dish (made with sliced rib-eye, provolone, and fried onions, on a long hoagie roll). I hated chicken cheesesteaks because they didn’t have beef....

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

A new beverage trend combining marshmallow fluff and Coca-Cola, known as "fluffy Coke," is gaining popularity on social media. The trend is believed to have originated from content creator Emma Grace and her grandmother, the drink involves coating a glass with marshmallow fluff, adding ice, and pouring in Coca-Cola. While some praise its sweet taste and have even experimented with variations, others criticize it for being excessively sugary and unhealthy. Despite the mixed reviews, the drink has gone viral, sparking widespread interest and spawning numerous recreations across social media.

WarnerMedia botched it big time when its myopic executives canceled South Side, a thoughtful comedy that unapologetically represented locals who lived way past Madison, way past Roosevelt, and — yes — even past Hyde Park. Chicago writer Studs Terkel was famous for pointing out that Division Street is the longest street in America, and the South and North side divide is seen in many ways. But one of the only things the city can agree on?

Before the idea of “South Shore bar pizza” (and the much-deserved enthusiasm that followed) came about, there was just “pizza,” or at least that’s what South Shore native Paul Butler recalls. Growing up in a semi-rural town about 30 miles south of Boston, the Butlers rarely dined out. But if they did, it’d be a choice between a fancy Italian place, Chinese takeout, or pizza from Poopsie’s. “I didn’t know ‘South Shore bar pizza’ was a thing until I saw them sold at [hip Somerville spot] Hot Box,” Butler says.

Las Vegas, NV

Straddling the line between spectacle and restaurant, the Las Vegas buffet is an entity unto its own. It’s a place where rules are meant to be broken; where diners can wander with towering plates of food in hand, pile in seven different desserts, and say things like, “I think I’ll try both flavors of melted butter.” But in order to have the best time — or at least the most cost-effective experience — there are guidelines to follow, ones that may spare you from long lines, overspending, or going in without a holistic game plan. Below, experts weigh in on the dos and don’ts of dining in a Las Vegas buffet.

Buffet 101: How to Win at the Las Vegas Buffet

It was while sitting at the Tavern inside the Fontainebleau, sharing a plate of those nachos, when I admitted to a colleague that I had not dined in any of the Las Vegas Strip’s buffets since the Aladdin closed in 1997. As a food writer in and longtime resident of Las Vegas, it’s a glaring omission. My defense, if one is needed, is simple: Vegas’s consummate maximalism, along with its constantly growing food scene, make it nearly impossible to try everything once. The city teems with spectacle — restaurants that dutifully light steaks on fire or ferry them to tables in a Pulp Fiction-style briefcase. Award-winning chefs distill decades of hard-won technique into plates designed to mesmerize: sweet potato medallions laden with creme fraiche and caviar, homemade babka swirled with jammy ube halaya.

The event never fails to attract big-name chefs and locally beloved restaurants in a three-day collision of music, food, and drink at Golden Gate Park. While that’s not news to previous attendees of Outside Lands, the festival continues to level up its food and drink game each year with tempting new food and drink vendors, plus some new initiatives to keep things exciting.
