Life has an interesting way of rewarding us at the most unexpected moments. For a waitress at Oven and Tap restaurant in Bentonville, Arkansas, a life-changing surprise awaited one evening in December 2021. Ryan Brandt, who served a dinner party of 44 real estate executives, was astounded to receive a whopping $4400 tip. Grant Wise, a real estate consultant, organized this generous gesture where each member of the dinner party contributed $100 toward the tip that was meant to be shared by Brandt and one other waitress. However, Brandt's happiness was short-lived because the restaurant soon fired her citing policy violation reasons, as per KNWA.

I wrote an entire cookbook about pizza. That means I’ve spent some quality time with the ingredients required to make it. And while my favorite pizza sauce is the one I make, sometimes, on busy weeknights, making it feels like an extra time-consuming step. That’s when I enlist the help of a store-bought shortcut.

"They get more than us, Why nobody told me about this?". If you're looking for a tasty option that won't break the bank, a Chick-fil-A's kids' meal might be just what you're after. It seems like a great deal. In fact, some people argue it's a better deal than a regular adult meal. This TikToker took the audience through the ins and outs of this meal.

Chick-fil-A customer says they’ll never order a full meal again after seeing kids’ meal

‘This is a game changer.’ Ordering off the kid’s menu comes with a certain set of expectations. Small portions, lower prices—possibly an age restriction—but generally, nothing too off-base as far as ordering food.

McDonald's does quite a brisk business in hamburgers — really brisk. McDonald's sells 75 hamburgers per second worldwide. Yet, over the years, this fast food giant has tried rolling out various other food items, from spaghetti to crab cakes, with sometimes disastrous results. Ray Kroc, the man who turned this hamburger chain into a massive global success, kept an open mind to new menu items, even testing out grilled pineapple and cheese on a bun, which he dubbed the Hula Burger. But when it came to hot dogs, he refused to consider them — even though the founders of McDonald's, Richard and Maurice McDonald, had sold them at the restaurant back in the 1940s and early 1950s before Kroc bought the business.
