When my wife, son, and I pick a restaurant for dinner, we all have to make sacrifices.
It's challenging to find an eatery that offers something for each of us. The more specialized a restaurant gets, however, the less likely we are to eat there.
That reality hurts chains that focus on healthy food.
People may say they want to eat healthy, but chains like True Food Kitchen face a major challenge when it comes to people actually choosing to eat there.
My wife can order a salad at Chili's, but I can't get ribs and my son can't order chicken tenders at True Food Kitchen. That's one of the challenges facing a healthy restaurant brand that has now filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, according to a press release.

Chuck Lorre's remarks about President Donald Trump at a Los Angeles charity gala have drawn a White House response. The creator of The Big Bang Theory and Two and a Half Men called Trump a "bloated orange piece of s--- in the White House" during Project Angel Food's Sept. 26 Angel Awards, according to Entertainment Weekly.
White House spokesperson Davis Ingle told Fox News Digital that Lorre should "seek psychiatric help," accusing him of "Trump Derangement Syndrome." TheWrap reported the reply on Oct. 3.
The gala took place at The Chuck Lorre Family Foundation Kitchen & Campus. Project Angel Food's meal program serves seriously ill people across Los Angeles County at no cost to clients, with dietitians and chefs developing menus around their medical needs.
Director Nikki Lorre presented her father with the Founders Angel Award, the organization's highest honor. The nonprofit says it has bestowed the award only once before, on founder Marianne Williamson and her co-founders.
In the political portion of his speech, Lorre said he wanted a government that prioritized citizens' health and welfare. He also made jokes about Trump's health and directed personal insults at first lady Melania Trump, according to TheWrap's account.

As a long-time host of "The View," Joy Behar is known for her outspokenness, which sometimes causes scandals, such as dragging Melania Trump when insulting Donald Trump. Other than her political views and wild on-show feuds, Behar is recognized for her polished looks behind the desk. The TV personality has been vocal about her signature, face-framing blowout and the fact that she's not a natural redhead. While Behar isn't hesitant to discuss any cosmetic changes, she's also not afraid to wear a makeup look that's more minimal than her usual television glam.

In August 2026, Behar went to ****** town Kitchen in Provincetown, Massachusetts. The TV host, wearing an all-black outfit, posed with ****** town Kitchen's owner Willy Garcia for the restaurant's Instagram post. Behar kept her makeup simple by wearing gray eyeshadow and a red lip. Overall, Behar's skin looks amazing in her 80s. Her forehead, chin, and cheeks seem smooth. Her cheeks also look plump for someone in their twilight years, which could be a result of having good skin and investing in nonsurgical skin treatments. She also wore her hair down without the volume that fans of "The View" are used to seeing on screen.

Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO are putting one of their Nashville-area homes up for sale after finalizing their divorce. The Franklin, Tennessee, estate now carries a price of just under $7 million. The former couple listed the property after reaching a settlement over their ******* ets.
Real estate sources told TMZ that the couple listed the home on Wednesday. The estate was custom-built and features over 10 acres and over 7,000 square feet of living area. The property has five bedrooms and seven bathrooms. It also offers views of the Tennessee countryside.
The home includes a chef's kitchen and a media den that looks over a glass-walled automotive showroom. On the outside, the estate has a covered porch and an outdoor kitchen. It also has outdoor dining and living ******* es. The outdoor ******* e is completed by a resort-style pool.
The listing is held by Erik Levin of Benchmark Realty and Greg Sanford of Greg Sanford Real Estate. The sale comes after Jelly Roll and Bunnie finalized their divorce in July. Court documents obtained by TMZ show that the former couple reached a settlement covering their aircraft, cars, homes, and intellectual property. Jelly Roll also agreed to give Bunnie a one-time lump-sum payment.
It was previously reported that movers appeared at the property in June. Exclusive photos showed a large moving truck outside while workers appeared to remove items from the home. Jelly Roll filed for divorce in May, and sources with direct knowledge said the split came from a mutual decision handled privately. Jelly Roll and Bunnie married in August 2016 after meeting the year before.

A realtor from Texas is having a viral moment on Instagram for showing that there was nothing behind the kitchen cabinet doors of a house that she was selling.
The video also uses the trending "I hope you're hungry, for nothing!" audio, adding to the post's humor, with commenters making various puns and jokes about the peculiar lack of a cabinet on the post.
Heather Kerr is a Houston-based realtor who also creates content on social media. A lot of her content is related to her work as a realtor, but she also posts about her life and religion.
Her first viral moment happened recently, thanks to a video in which she showed the very unusual kitchen cabinet door with no actual cabinet behind it in a Pasadena house that she was selling.
The video, posted on September 22nd, has since garnered nearly 2 million views on Instagram, as well as 100,000 likes and over 500 comments.

Even wilder, Beatles insider Chris O'Dell says she was actually sitting at Ringo's kitchen table when George finally told him, "I'm in love with your wife." According to O'Dell, Ringo responded, "Better you than someone we don't know." O'Dell said Ringo was nevertheless heartbroken by what happened. (Ringo got remarried in 1981 to Bond girl Barbara Bach, so he's doing alright!)
Somehow, George and Ringo's friendship survived and they worked together many more times (notably on the Beatles' reunion tracks "Free as a Bird," "Real Love," and "Now and Then.") When George died in 2001, Ringo called him "a best friend of mine," adding, "I loved him very much."

Is there any investment market segment more debated than gold (XAUUSD)? I'm not sure there is. We have "gold bugs," including those who see the yellow metal as the ***** et to own when the world goes haywire.
Then, there are the "we're going back on the gold standard" types. The ones that preceded crypto bros in believing fiat currencies weren't for this world. It follows that gold would return to its former role as the reserve currency.

Of course, there are also plenty of investors who don't really think about gold investing very much, and who will simply trade it when there's a good opportunity. I'm in this camp.
Financial media pundits routinely tout gold as some sort of bulletproof allocation. Inflation worries? Own gold. Currency debasement? Own gold. Want your kitchen to be decorated like the Oval Office? You'll need a lot of gold.

Express rides the nostalgia wave with 'Archives' menswear reissues
Express, which launched in the 1980s, peaked earlier this century and remains a mall fixture, is the latest apparel retailer to tap into consumers' affinity for nostalgia and vintage finds. The company has reissued designs first introduced in the 1990s and early 2000s, including some from its now-defunct Structure menswear brand, featuring "relaxed proportions, bold graphics, utility details and bootcut denim."

DANA POINT, California – Natalie Driessen drove down Beach Road on a mission, past neighbors whose houses fell into the sea and others now scrambling to prevent their property from collapsing next.
She had a video from March that she wanted everyone to see. When she spotted an Orange County supervisor outside what was left of one mangled kitchen and living room, Driessen pulled out her phone to play the clip of the California Coastal Commission — the powerful state agency tasked with preserving beaches — discussing a home in her gated community.
California beaches are considered public beyond a certain high tide line, the commissioners warned, and that waterline was rising. “I wonder,” one of the commissioners said, “how many years before I’m allowed to just pull up a chair — sit in their, you know, front deck porch and watch TV because it’s public land. … I don’t think we’re that far away from this, right?”
Storms and high tides — fueled by a near record-breaking El Niño — have battered the California coast in recent weeks, destroying homes and eroding beaches. The fallout has supercharged years-long tensions between the owners of coveted oceanfront property and the authorities they say aren’t doing enough to protect them.
The damage has intensified a bigger debate playing out around the coast: What can or should be done to save private property in the most vulnerable communities?

A few weeks ago, I used Uber Eats to deliver me a case of bottled water, a dozen Starbucks iced coffee bottles, and a 12-pack of Gatorade Zero.
It cost a little more than going to the store less than two miles from our house, but instead of having to lug those bulky items from the store to my car and then my kitchen, I only had to bring them in from the front door.
That was either a lazy choice or evidence of excellent time management skills, but it's a solid example of how people use the internet. Because while people generally think it's much higher (I've asked the question to thousands of people on various podcasts and live shows over the years), digital sales are still a relatively small percentage of total retail sales.
"E-commerce sales in the second quarter of 2026 accounted for 17.1 percent of total sales," United States Census Bureau data showed.
Consumers have shifted some of their purchases online, and they're looking for convenience.

Kylie Jenner has officially sold her longtime Hidden Hills mansion for $15.3 million. The 29-year-old multi-million-dollar beauty brand founder originally wanted $20.25 million for the property, but the final deal came after a series of price changes. The sale also comes as Jenner works on a new dream home nearby.
As per TMZ, the sale was completed on Friday, Sept. 11, according to property records. Jenner first put the mansion on the market for $20.25 million in March. A month later, the asking price dropped by $2.3 million to $17.99 million before the property eventually sold for $15.3 million.
The home had already entered a pending sale status by Wednesday, Sept. 2. However, the final price came in about $2.7 million below the reduced asking price and nearly $5 million under the original listing price.
Jenner bought the property for $12.05 million in late 2016 when she was 19. The sprawling estate covers more than 13,000 square feet and sits on a private 1.4-acre lot.
The eight-bedroom home features a private theater, game room with a wet bar, office with a fireplace, gym and massage room. The property also includes eight full bathrooms, along with an attached guest residence that has its own entrance, bedroom, bathroom, kitchenette, sitting area and courtyard.

Long-running speculation over the future of Hain Celestial's business in Europe has finally come to a head with the disposal to a private-equity investor.
Nasdaq-listed Hain Celestial said in a statement today (14 September) it has agreed the sale of its "international" operations to Aurelius for $323m in cash.
The divestment follows a review of Hain Celestial's portfolio instigated by president and CEO Alison Lewis last year, which already resulted in the sale of its North American snacks business in 2026 to Canada's Snackruptors for $115m in cash.
That disposal included the brands Garden Veggie Snacks, Terra chips and Garden of Eatin'.
Ella's Kitchen baby and kids foods, the Joya and Natumi plant-based beverage lines and Hartley's jelly are joining Aurelius.

Dolly Parton had a "very unique and deep" relationship with her husband Carl Thomas Dean.
While appearing on CBS Mornings, the country music legend's sister, Stella Parton, took a moment to praise the singer's devotion to her husband of 59 years. She said the couple shared a "sweet, private romance.
"I know their relationship was very unique and very deep and loyal," Stella mentioned.
Dolly's sister said Carl "loved [Dolly] enough to let her be what she was." Nevertheless, she said he might have appreciated a little more private time with his wife.
"He would rather her be at the house with her hair up in a ponytail and barefooted, cookin' in the kitchen and just, you know, messin' around the house," Stella said. "That's, I think, that's what he would have preferred."

The late Queen wasn't afraid to get stuck in when it came to everyday chores, and was known to pop on the Marigolds to do the washing up during her summer breaks at Balmoral Castle.
But anyone who chose to help out did so at their own risk.
Lady Anne Glenconner worked as Princess Margaret's Lady in Waiting and, as such, was privy to seeing the monarch behind closed doors.
Writing in her book Lady in Waiting: My Extraordinary Life in the Shadow of the Crown, Lady Anne recalled receiving a stern warning from the Queen's only daughter when she and her husband attempted to help clear up after a summer picnic.
She wrote: "The first time we went on one of these grand picnics, Colin and I started to carry things back to the mobile kitchen, helping to clear up.

More than half a decade after the pandemic fundamentally changed how consumers interact with restaurants, delivery has moved well beyond the "turn it on" phase for full-service operators. The focus now is less on adding a sales channel than on optimizing one that touches the kitchen, labor model, guest relationship, and broader tech stack.
"We look at it a little differently nowadays," says Jason Saposnik, VP of information technology for FSC Franchise Co., the parent company of Beef 'O' Brady's, The Brass Tap, and Newk's Eatery. "Early on, the focus was more about just growing delivery sales. Now, we're a lot more focused on whether those sales are profitable, how the restaurants can handle that increased volume, and whether customers are actually getting the same great experience."
The first major improvement in delivery operations was straightforward: getting orders into the restaurant without forcing employees to act as the integration layer.
Saposnik recalls an earlier "tablet ******* " environment in which teams monitored separate devices for DoorDash, Uber Eats, and other channels, then manually entered orders into the POS. "That created all sorts of issues for missed orders and mistakes and delays," he says. "Now, everything just flows into the POS and into the kitchen correctly."

Giada De Laurentiis is trading the kitchen for the ballroom.
The cast for season 35 of Dancing with the Stars was officially announced on Wednesday, Sept. 2, and the celebrity chef is one of the 16 competitors, joining a lineup of actors, athletes, former dancers and reality stars.
The Food Network alum, 56, tells PEOPLE she was inspired by her 18-year-old daughter, Jade, to do the show.
"I've been asked several times over the years, and I think that this time I said yes because my daughter basically forced me to say yes," she admits. "And also because I just dropped her off at college, and I think that she felt and I felt that I needed to push myself out of my comfort zone and do something totally different."

The race to build more data centers for artificial intelligence is driving demand for more than chips and electricity.
It also requires vast networks of high-speed optical fiber to move data between servers, putting one of America's oldest manufacturers at the center of the boom.
Corning, the New York-based company best known to many Americans for its kitchenware and smartphone glass, is ramping up optical-fiber production as the data-center buildout accelerates. Nearly 175 years after its founding, the company is supplying a critical piece of the infrastructure behind the AI boom, the glass connections linking the servers inside the facilities powering it.

Emma Thynn, Marchioness of Bath, has built a public life that stretches far beyond her aristocratic ****** le. Born Emma Claire McQuiston, she became the Marchioness of Bath after marrying Ceawlin Thynn, the 8th Marquess of Bath. Raised around British high society, Emma developed interests in art, performance and culture from an early age. She later studied art history at University College London and trained in classical acting at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art before pursuing a different creative path.
Food eventually became one of her major passions. At Longleat, the historic estate ****** ociated with the Thynn family, Emma created her food and lifestyle project Emma's Kitchen. Her cooking content includes everything from pancakes to homemade dishes inspired by life at the estate. The project allows her to combine hospitality, family traditions and creativity, showing a more relaxed side of life that contrasts with the formal events and glamorous appearances often ****** ociated with aristocracy.
Emma is also involved in charitable work and has supported Tusk, an organization dedicated to wildlife conservation across Africa. Her public profile has allowed her to draw attention to conservation while balancing responsibilities connected with family, fashion and Longleat. That variety is a major part of her appeal. One day may involve cooking or supporting a charitable cause, while another can place her in front of photographers at an international event.
Fashion remains another important part of Emma's career. She has attended the Cannes Film Festival, worked with luxury jeweler Chopard and appeared in elaborate gowns and jewelry on major red carpets. Emma has also walked in fashion shows for designers including Dolce & Gabbana and Celia Kritharioti. Her relationship with fashion has extended into ambassador and editorial work, allowing her to experience the industry from more than one perspective. Whether attending a premiere or stepping onto a runway, she appears comfortable treating clothing as another form of creative expression.
From aristocratic events and conservation projects to cooking and international fashion, Emma Thynn has created a career that refuses to fit neatly into one category. Her life at Longleat provides a traditional backdrop, but her interests have taken her into food, publishing, modeling and philanthropy. Rather than relying solely on her ****** le, she has developed a public identity built around creativity and variety, making an ordinary day in the life of the Marchioness of Bath surprisingly difficult to define.

From ketchup and cheese to sauces and other household food staples, Kraft Heinz Company (KHC) has built a portfolio that has become a familiar name in kitchens worldwide. Now, the food giant is making a small but notable change on Wall Street, and KHC stock investors may want to mark their calendars. No, it is not about a new product hitting grocery shelves. This time, the change is happening on Wall Street.
Kraft Heinz is moving its stock listing from the Nasdaq ($NASX) to the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on Monday, Sept. 14. The company has traded on the Nasdaq since 2015, following the merger of Kraft Foods and H.J. Heinz. The food giant has called the NYSE its "natural home" as it moves into what CEO Steve Cahillane describes as its next chapter.

The Portland Trail Blazers star Ja Morant has officially put his Memphis days behind him, as he no longer has a home in the city where he was drafted. The former Grizzlies player sold his two-story mansion in Memphis, Tennessee, for a reported amount of $3.2 million earlier this week after initially listing it for $3.5 million.
He initially paid $3.05 million for the mansion and has since made a $150,000 profit on the sale four years after buying it in 2022, when he signed his $197.2 million max contract with the Grizzlies. The house reportedly has seven bedrooms and spans 13,836 square feet on 6.45 acres.
'Homes of Celebs' got an inside look at the property. They described that it has a beautiful foyer, a home office, a living room with a built-in bar, a formal dining room, a kitchen, a private lounge, an en-suite bathroom, walk-in closets, a salon, a poker room, a billiards room, a sauna, a movie theater, and much more.
This property is apparently just 62 feet away from a property that he bought for his parents with his first contract in 2019. Morant reportedly has a net worth of $50 million and has already earned about $150 million through 2026 of his $236.8 million in guaranteed career earnings (leaving almost $87 million in future earnings over the next two years).
The 27-year-old begins a new life in Portland with the Trail Blazers, now looking to bounce back from a controversy-ridden 2025-26 season in Memphis. Former NBA players Isaiah Thomas, Matt Barnes, and Stephen Jackson feel all eyes will be on Ja Morant in 2026-27 for a comeback season.

Scaled ***** et-light appliance platform extending into commercial and health markets. HBB designs, markets and distributes branded household appliances, specialty housewares, commercial foodservice equipment and connected medication-management solutions, generating $606.9 million of revenue and shipping more than 25 million appliances in 2025. The company outsources substantially all manufacturing while retaining product development, engineering, quality ***** urance, marketing and distribution, keeping capex near 1% of revenue. This model combines a scaled consumer foundation with growing Commercial and Health platforms, while preserving capital for brand investment, innovation and adjacent growth opportunities.
A defensible business model built on reinforcing brand strength, category breadth, retailer access and repeatable innovation. Hamilton Beach, Proctor Silex and Weston provide broad mass-market reach, while Lotus and licensed CHI products extend into premium applications. HBB participates in more than 50 categories, ranked second among U.S. national small-kitchen-appliance brands by 2025 unit sales and draws on 300,000+ annual consumer touchpoints to support product development. Established retail relationships and an ***** et-light sourcing network reinforce the platform, making its competitive position broader than any single brand, product or patent.
Five growth pillars broaden mix across premium, commercial, digital and health markets. Recent initiatives include wider Lotus distribution, new core-product placements, Sunkist commercial products, foodservice-chain trials, AI-optimized content across 500 SKUs and expanding specialty-pharmacy partnerships; Health remained on track to grow 2026 sales 50%.

U.S. small-appliance sales grew 1.0% in 2025, while kitchen electrics increased 4.1% and replacement accounted for 52% of 4Q25 purchases. HBB's strong unit position and accessible price points support replacement demand, while its lower dollar share and roughly 1% position in an estimated $4.2 billion premium TAM leave meaningful premiumization headroom. Commercial automation, home-administered therapies and AI-mediated discovery add further growth avenues.

A Cuban illegal immigrant is facing child-abuse, child-neglect and arson charges after authorities say she poured hot wax on one of her young daughters and set a fire inside her Miami home.
Meliza Campos-Sanchez is facing two counts of child neglect, one count of child abuse and an arson charge stemming from an Aug. 16 incident, authorities said. She will undergo a court-ordered mental-competency evaluation.
Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office deputies responded Sunday to a report of an intentional fire inside the kitchen of a Miami home, according to the criminal complaint obtained by Fox News Digital.
Investigators subsequently found that Campos, a social media influencer with 87,000 Instagram followers, had uploaded videos in which she appeared to pour melted candle wax on herself and on the hands of at least one of her daughters. In a separate video, she allegedly sang and danced in the kitchen before igniting clothing with a lighter.
