SNACK TIME: R.I.P. cheese, Euro snackage, airport eats, a list of grillables, someone who isn't Johnny Depp loves Tim Burton enough to make him a cake, and BODEGA CATS
- This past Sunday, an earthquake measuring 6.0 on the Richter Scale rattled Northern Italy, causing much destruction. Cities like Bologna and Verona, known for the production of Parmesan and Grana Padano cheeses, were left with approximately $230 million worth of ruined fromage by the quake. That's about 300,000 cheese casualties. Six people tragically died due to the quake.
- Andrea Kay wrote this list for Thought Catalog, opining on five European guilty-pleasure snacks. Some, like bratwurst, are tame, while others are downright extravagant. Francesinha ("little French girl") is a Portuguese baked sandwich that involves five different meats, cheese, ketchup/whiskey/Tabasco sauce with an egg on top. That's like five sandos and breakfast all in one.
- There's something so novel about eating at the airport, even if it's just overpriced, soggy fries. For you jet-setters out there who scoff at a soggy fry (I mean, I do too, but I'd still eat them), Eater Philly has you covered: Collin Flatt names five mostly to entirely decent restaurants in PHL. Legal Sea Foods, dude!
- Summer unofficially begins this weekend and that means many things: shorts, man tank tops, water ice, crappy beer on roof decks, swimming, cool shades and GRILLING! Buzzfeed put together a list of five interesting grill-worthy foods. Though you might've grilled some of these already, the list provides good recipes and some surprises. Grilled paella? Yes.
- As an ode to Tim Burton, filmmaker Alexandre Dubosc created a "caketrope," a play on a zoetrope. The doohickey has references to various Burton motifs, like skeletons, barren trees and spirals. If you think the dessert seems too good to be true, you're right: It's inedible styrofoam covered in fondant.
- Gothamist had the genius idea to start a Twitter-fed feature tagged #bodegacat. The first set of the series has 21 pictures of cats who live in bodegas. It's probably illegal and maybe unsanitary, but look at these pics! The fifth one in is even a kitten. BODEGA KITTEN!!!!!!!!
