Wolfgang Puck Is Finally Opening A Restaurant In NYC

Notable chef Wolfgang Puck is finally opening a restaurant in New York City, a move the chef has been teasing for a long time. The chef will be opening another outpost of CUT by Wolfgang Puck inside the Four Seasons Hotel New York Downtown in July of 2016. This will be the seventh CUT location worldwide and the first major restaurant by the Austrian-born chef in New York City (anything inside an airport NEVER counts).

"For my first restaurant in New York City, it was a matter of finding the right location and partner," Puck said in a release, citing his ongoing partnership with Four Seasons hotels. The restaurant will be open for breakfast, lunch and dinner and will offer a "sophisticated menu featuring the finest cuts of prime beef, an extensive wine list, cutting-edge design and impeccable service." The New York Times got a sneak peek at the menu, which includes 10 different steaks plus dozens of toppings, sauces and sides.

I can't tell you how much I have been waiting for this day since HIS FOOD IS INCREDIBLE.

Up In Real Life

We all remember how great this scene was.

To commemorate their 60th wedding anniversary, these fantastic grandparents of pianist Jason Lyle Black recreated scenes from the opening married life montage from Pixar's 2009 computer-animated film Up, and performed a piano duet of the film's theme song.

Fury of the Day - Ask Me How I Want My Burger Cooked, Canada

by Liz Heather in Food, Personal

The main difference between the United States and Canada? In the U.S., you will always be asked how you want your burger cooked - but in Canada you will never be asked that question since they assume your answer will always be something like, “Duh, of course well done.”

WHEN DID THIS BECOME THE NORM AND WHY?

Really. Why!? It's such a small thing seemingly, but how did this catch on and become an internationally known custom? For the longest time, I wasn't even aware that people ate their burgers anything less cooked than well done. And why is that, you ask? Well, Canada raised me that way. It was only after visiting the U.S. that suddenly I was given many more options. And you know what? "Medium" is kind of amazing.

My real beef (hahahah not sorry) lies with the fact that the youth of Canada will experience this same trend and not learn for many years that there, infact, are many more options out there.

And if you're looking at me like, "I know a place in Canada where they ask you how you want your burger cooked" then you can go right to hell. Of course there are places that are exceptions. But typically speaking, those places are either exclusively-burger places or fancy-ass restaurants. And it shouldn't be that way! Every place should ask! Why should we, the people, not have a choice in the matter?

If you think I'm being too passionate on this issue, you're wrong.
