…don’t we all?

Trader Joe’s comes to Chelsea. No more waiting for an hour and shoving NYU punks out of my way just to get a decent bottle of bruschetta. Yipee!

A funny video for a slow ass Sunday. Drake and the missing tuna sandwich. Thanks Worldstar Hip Hop for a throwback!

The perfect way to kick off the summer (and break my diet). Jenn Yin (Atlantic Records) and I hit up Shake Shack this weekend with delicious results. If you haven’t been to chef Danny Meyer’s modern burger stand in NYC RUN now. The Shack Stack burger, complete with fried mushroom thingy, and custard shakes are totally worth the 1hr wait in line.

Extra: we had an Aziz Ansari sighting this weekend at the Shack. He did NOT stand in line though and got some sort of celebrity “cutsies”. Lucky.

Following the footsteps of Subway’s successful Eat Fresh campaign, Taco Bell has launched the new Drive Thru Diet . Spokeswoman “Christine” claims to have lost 54 lbs with 7 items under 9 grams of fat like the Fresco Soft Taco. Numerically the diet probably does work since Christine lost weight by cutting down her intake by 500 calories per day (that’s a whole meal people). What scares me is the idea that drive thrus and fast food are being misconstrued for healthy living. Call me old fashioned, but the Beyonce “maple syrup-lemon juice-drink till I vom” diet works just fine for me.
