Brother Apologizes for Throwing Scissors at Wrong Brother, Really Hates Intended Target

Kids. They don’t just say the darndest things. They also write the darndest things. Take this note, for example, in which a student tells his teacher to get well soon… by pooping .

She posted it on Facebook and included along with it an explanation that says the apology was “only a first draft,” the victim was not seriously hurt and all siblings are now “grown men and very close.” That’s good to know.

Grant Achatz Pushes for Baby Restaurant Ban: Do You Agree?

It started as a mere Tweet. And it has grown into a national debate. On Saturday night, celebrity chef Grant Achatz Tweeted a complaint that a crying baby inside the restaurant Alinea was causing major problems. “Tbl brings 8mo.Old. It cries. Diners mad,” he wrote. “Tell ppl no kids? Subject diners 2crying? Ppl take infants 2 plays? Concerts? Hate saying no,but..” Grant Achatz Pushes for Baby Ban: Should It Happen? Achatz then appeared on Good Morning America and added: “I could hear it crying in the kitchen. We want people to come in and enjoy and experience Alinea for what it is, but we also have to be cognizant of the other 80 people that came in to experience Alinea that night.” Achatz’s 82,000 Twitter followers seemed split on whether or not babies should actually be banned from expensive restaurants, while we’d rather see some awful Hollywood mothers barred instead. What do YOU think? Should babies not be allowed in high-end eateries?   Yes, I want peace and quiet! No, it’s a free country! View Poll »

Chocolate-Flavored Fried Chicken: Actually Coming Soon!

Think eating 72 ounces of steak in 161 seconds is gross? Consider a new restaurant coming to Los Angeles. Adam Fleischman, founder and CEO of Umami Burger, will soon open ChocoChicken, an establishment that serves – yup, you guessed it – chocolate-flavored fried chicken. “This isn’t mole, traditional fried chicken or even chicken just dipped in chocolate,” Fleischman says of the product, which he advertises as possessing the “crack factor” he looks for in restaurant brands. He believes fried chicken “has been largely overlooked in fast-casual restaurants,” seeming to have never heard of a certain place that specializes in the Kentucky-based item. ChocoChicken will also serve biscuits, sides, beer, wine and cocktails and open in March at 403 W. 12th St. Will you try some chocolate-flavored chicken?   Barf, NO! Yes, sounds delicious View Poll »
