George Costanza Bar in Australia
A George Costanza-themed bar now exists in Melbourne, Australia and it's full of Seinfeld themed food, drinks and memorabilia, of course. The bar, appropriately dubbed "George's Bar," is owned by Seinfeld fan Dave Barrett, who stocked the bar's menu with George-themed drinks like The Art Vandalay, The Costanza and The Mom and Pop. There are also photos, autographed items and other Constanza-related items. When you walk in, the two front doors have two George's quotes ‘It's not a lie if you believe it’ and ‘Everyone must like me, I must be liked.'
How great is this?
“We need people in our lives with whom we can be as open as possible. To have real conversations with people may seem like such a simple, obvious suggestion, but it involves courage and risk.”

Jamie Oliver to Open a Restaurant in Mississauga, ON
Of course Mississauga gets cooler when I leave it. OF COURSE.
Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver will open his second Canadian restaurant sometime this year in Square One. Jamie's Italian will feature "fresh, authentic dishes using seasonal ingredients in Chef Oliver's signature rustic style." Menu items will include artisan breads, pasta and pizza made fresh daily on-site, Italian mains and desserts, an antipasti station with cured meats and an open-concept kitchen. Jamie’s Italian originally launched in 2008 in Oxford, England and has expanded globally in Great Britain, the Middle East, Asia and Europe. The brand is opening Canadian locations in partnership with King Street Food Company - a Canadian premiere restaurant group with well known Toronto brands under its belt, such as Buca Osteria and Enoteca, Bar Buca, Buca (Yorkville), The Saint Tavern and Jacobs & Co. Steakhouse.
Can't wait to try this place out.

Jean-Ralphio
Jean-Ralphio is probably the greatest fictional character of all time and I will miss him dearly.
