Butter Candle, McGyver Style
I’ve seen this video making the rounds the past couple days, and for good reason. Who wouldn’t want to look awesome in front of their friends next time the power goes out? I know I always have some extra sticks of butter lying around… Check out all of Grant Thompson’s […]

When the fine folks at @giadavegas let you take the tasting menu back to your hotel room. I'm sure it's not the ideal experience, @giadadelaurentiis, but your tasting menu is still absolutely divine. (And it's helping this COVID-conscious business traveler relax in comfort!)
