There is much, much worse news out there than this bad news, but bad news it remains: A halloumi cheese shortage seems likely, as a global increase in demand coincides with soaring popularity in China. To that, we say, “μαύρη μέρα κι άραχνη.”
Utah is… not progressive when it comes to its alcohol laws. It has the most restrictive alcohol shipping laws in the country (it’s a felony to ship booze in), and beers sold in its grocery and convenience stores must not contain more than 4 percent alcohol by volume, or 3.2 percent alcohol by weight. Now, The Salt…

Idris Elba, O.B.E. and newly-crowned Sexiest Man Alive, has opened a 60-seat cocktail bar in London. Wait, come back! We haven’t even told you where to find it yet!
No, this Chick-fil-A trick won’t change your life, but as far as fast-food hacks go, it’s pretty solid. (It actually made me say “whoa” out loud at my screen.) Here’s how the “hack” works: Like other fast-food paper boxes, Chick-Fil-A’s nugget vessels have a small, round hole in them. Its true purpose, my instinct…
Anker car accessories, a Philips indoor smokeless grill, and the complete Cowboy Bebop series lead off Monday’s best deals from around the web.
The Pabst-MillerCoors lawsuit, which opened in Milwaukee County Circuit Court today, is thrilling only to contracts lawyers, brewery insiders, and drinkers who love $2 PBR tallboys. At issue is whether MillerCoors can end an agreement by which it has brewed Pabst’s beer brands for 19 years—a move that Pabst says would…

Any story written about New Jersey first addresses either its adversarial reputation, its relationship to the New York metro area, or its most famous exports: The Sopranos or Bruce Springsteen. What we should be talking about is breakfast meat.
My face was damp. It was a bright morning in Chicago, too bright, and my breakfast of coffee with a side of gnawing anxiety was percolating inside my stomach, sour and potent. The wind pushed hard against my nose, my eyes, my coat, but I was hot, sweaty, shaky. October had a bite, but winter hadn’t arrived just yet.…

I have lived here in Chicago my whole life, and somehow every year winter comes and kicks my ass like I’m from the tropics and I’ve never gone through it before. On Sunday I looked at the week’s weather, saw a prediction for snow by the end of the week, and frantically went online to order parkas and gloves, etc. for…
Now that Ice-T has clarified that he is not, as many have posited, the mind behind @dril, we’ve been free to take the rapper and actor’s online musings at face value. It’s not a bit when Ice-T chronicles his gaming obsession, celebrates a good nut, or chides the Dumb Fucks; it’s simply the unfiltered musings of a man…
Most air fryers take up a ton of counter space, but Dash’s 1.2 L model is perfectly sized for small apartment kitchens. It probably shouldn’t be your first choice if you’re cooking for a family, but for one or two people people, it can crisp up more than enough french fries, chicken wings, or anything else.
At long last, Aldi’s wine advent calendar arrived in the U.S. on November 7. That was just Wednesday! Surely going to buy it now would be getting a jump on things, right? It was Halloween approximately seven minutes ago, who’s buying advent calendars now?
Buying a vegan holiday roast is very much like playing Seitan Roulette. A classic Tofurky log is inoffensive at best, but the various competitors that pop up in Whole Foods this time of year ping-pong between “legitimately tasty” and “old boots with a whiff of sage.” If you’re sick of the usual faux-meat options, I…
We haven’t checked in with Papa John’s in a while, wonder what’s going on over there? Turns out, the pizza chain is still in a sales slump after it was revealed that founder John Schnatter used a racial slur during a marketing phone call, following Schnatter’s controversial anti-NFL remarks after the national anthem…
