My latest story for @us.theguardian.com 👇
Marc Meyer had been approached in the past to write cookbooks but never felt comfortable authoring a book that would omit the individuals behind the scenes. That’s why he interviewed his current and former restaurant employees.

Reiner’s article highlights the Wonderful Loaf—an homage to Wonder Bread—baked by Miller’s Thumb Bakery & Cafe in Buffalo, NY. The bakery designed the bread to be an affordable and more wholesome workhorse bread that locals could count on.

Donald Trump says Coke is dropping high-fructose corn syrup for real sugar. In terms of public health, it's a better idea in theory than practice, writes @nicholasflorko.bsky.social.

A normal President would begin taking steps to analyze what’s going wrong here and fix the problem. The numbskull we elected just keeps firing air traffic controllers.
Within the span of 90 minutes on Tuesday morning, two airplanes, at Washington’s Ronald Reagan National Airport and at Chicago’s Midway International Airport, were forced to abort landings to avoid collisions, federal aviation officials said.
Two Planes, in Washington and Chicago, Abort Landings to Avoid Collisions
The near misses on Tuesday came after a string of aviation disasters, including the midair collision between an Army helicopter and a passenger jet last month that killed 67 people.

Dan Bongino, a former New York City police officer and Secret Service agent turned right-wing pundit and podcaster, will be the next deputy director of the FBI, President Trump said on Sunday night.
Right-Wing Commentator Named F.B.I. Deputy Director
The choice of Dan Bongino is a radical departure from the bureau’s history of having a veteran agent serve in the key role that oversees operations.
