    Review: New Top Chef Feels a Whole Lot Like Old Top Chef

    On Wednesday night, Top Chef headed to Milwaukee, Wisconsin for the start of Season 21. The long-running chef competition show promised a lot of changes for the new season, including a brand new host: Top Chef season 10 winner Kristen Kish.

  • AOC New York District's 'Market of Sweethearts': It's Not Like It Sounds

    While it's not entirely fair to lay the blame of a failed urban neighborhood at the feet of that area's congressional representative - the municipal government bears most of the blame for those kinds of things - it is nevertheless interesting to note how these kinds of issues just seem to follow "Squad" member Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) around. In the latest, we see that three Queens neighborhoods in her district, Corona, Jackson Heights, and Elmhurst, have
