Get ready to indulge in all things food news...

When you ask your gf where she wants to eat and she says idc but she really does care

Yelp gets personal. After 15 years, Yelp is finally giving us an update that will give you personalized restaurant picks. Before, Yelp would give the same recommendations to all users in the area, and like what if I don't want to eat the same thing as Sherry J?! Now, just click on the "Your Preferences" button in the app and pick from over 30 categories that reflect your dietary restrictions, lifestyle, and preferences so Yelp can curate your options. We're just thankful "Donuts" has its own category.

Fill up my cup, let's live it up

The iconic Red Solo cup may become extinct. Ball Corp., an aluminum beverage packaging solutions company (what a niche), is set to launch a recyclable aluminum cup . The goal is to replace the infamous Solo cups with a product that will reduce users' carbon footprint. The cup is set to release this weekend at Colorado University's Folsom Field for their football homeopener. The only question is... Do we really want to put the future of the planet in frat boys' hands by hoping they'll recycle??

This sh!+ is bananas

Hurricane Dorian hit the Bahamas and the United Nations' World Food Programme reports that over 70,000 people may require food assistance. José Andrés, celebrity chef and founder of World Central Kitchen, a non profit, is ready to re-build kitchens and provide hot meals to the victims. Instead of texting your mom "FOOD" tonight, send that to 80110 to make a $10 donation to WCK.

Pop(corn) Culture

We go together, like a slice of lime and a tequila shot

Nick Jonas, the hottest of the Jonas brothers (don't @me), partners with John Varvatos, a menswear designer, to launch their own tequila line . The spirit, named Villa One , is a sustainably sourced tequila that comes three different ways: Silver, Reposado, and Añejo . The tequila debuted at the Jonas Brothers' first stop on the Happiness Begins tour in NYC. If you're not lucky enough to snag JoBro tix, you gotta wait until 2020 to find the tequila nationwide. I'm a sucker for teqUila.

Flamin' Haute

Cheetos opens up House of Flamin' Haute in celebration of New York Fashion Week.

WE INTERRUPT THIS NEWSLETTER TO DELIVER YOU SOME BREAKING NEWS-

Continue reading at your own risk...

There is a shortage of White Claws in the US, and people are calling for a national emergency. But White Claw is out here on social media trying to assure everyone that it will be okay. But honestly, this is some bullshit. You had one job, White Claw.

A toast to the wild ones

In a recent interview with The New York Times, Brad Pitt opens up about his past struggles with alcohol and his road to sobriety. After splitting from his ex-wife, Angelina Jolie , Pitt spent over a year in AA to honor the commitment he made to himself to stay sober. Speaking of sobriety, Countess Luann doesn't have to be anymore! The RHONY star and up-and-coming cabaret performer is officially off probation. Low key, we kinda hope she starts drinking again so we can see her get drunk and cause drama on RHONY since Bethenny won't be carrying the weight of the show on her shoulders anymore.

(Kinda) Fast Food Frenzy

If you're a chocolate bar, I'm a chocolate bar

Cadbury is facing backlash over their "Unity Bar," which they released in hopes of honoring India's Independence Day. Cadbury's "Unity Bar" is comprised of four different chocolates (white, blended, milk, and dark) to signify diversity. Move over Kendall Jenner and Pepsi, we got a new tone deaf add in town!

Blinded by our love for food

Boy goes blind and is suffering from hearing loss after eating fries, Pringles, white bread, processed ham, and processed sausage on the daily for nearly a decade. And after hearing (too soon?) and reading (sorry kid) about this, I'm gonna go shove some carrots down my throat. Bye.
