If you’ve visited a drive-thru recently and noticed things seem a little different, you’re not alone. Restaurants have begun testing forms of artificial intelligence (AI) in food service in an attempt to simplify the ordering process for workers and create a smoother experience for guests. While you might expect tasks such as phone call routing to become automated, some restaurants are taking it a step (or two) further.

In the mid-1970s, Good Timesmade a star of actor/comedian Jimmy 'JJ'/'Dynomite' Walker. However, behind the scenes, the tension between the stars was relatively challenging. According to what Jimmie Walker once relayed, most of the show's cast rarely had any interaction behind the camera. Walker didn't recall having any conversations with actress Esther Rolle, who played his TV mother, Florida Evans, or actor John Amos, who played James Evans, his TV mother.

On Monday, August 26, CNN reported that Red Lobster locations are scheduled to close within the coming days as part of its ongoing bankruptcy proceedings. A recent court filing shows that the company is rejecting the leases of 23 locations by Saturday, August 31. That means the 23 restaurants will join over 100 Red Lobster restaurants closed earlier this summer. The chain will then have only about 500 outlets left. That's a big decrease from the 650 it had last year.
