US Ad Of The Day: Brian McKnight Brings R&B Heat To The Chili’s Value Menu - The Drum

Image
It’s undeniable. Chili’s first TV spot in three years asks consumers: “What better way to learn about the brand’s offerings than through seductive 90’s R&B?” Chili’s Bar & Grill is making its return to TV after a three-year hiatus with none other than R&B legend, Brian McKnight. In the ad, the 16-time Grammy-nominated singer serves two guests who instantly recognize him. After briefly denying their claims, he breaks into a new rendition of his iconic 1999 ballad, Back at One, which playfully breaks down Chili’s ’3 for me’ menu. Advertisement Meanwhile, McKnight’s setting transforms around him, from a Chili’s restaurant floor to a stage cloaked in blue light, just like the Back at One music video. There, McKnight serenades us with the menu’s perks: unlimited non-alcoholic drink refills, bottomless chips & salsa and an entrée starting at $10.99. He finishes his performance by taking their orders and signing autographs. “I was thrilled to be able to collaborate wi...

Cambridge University students vote for completely vegan menus - The Guardian

Image
Students at the University of Cambridge have voted to support a transition to a solely vegan menu across its catering services. The Cambridge students’ union voted on Monday to hold talks about removing all animal products from its cafes and canteens with the university’s catering services. However, the move does not guarantee that Cambridge’s catering services will go fully vegan, as that power lies with the university. It also does not apply to the university’s 31 colleges, although the campaign said it provided “an extremely strong mandate for colleges to begin transitioning to 100% plant-based menus”. The group’s motion, which calls for the change in response to “climate and biodiversity crises”, was backed by 72% of non-abstaining student representatives who voted after a four-week consultation process. It comes after lobbying from Cambridge’s Plant-Based Universities campaign, which is supported by Animal Rebellion. William Smith, 24, from the Cambridge branch of the Plant-...

Four foods ‘not found on royal menus’ - royal chefs not allowed to ‘cook with them’ - Express

In recent years, force-feeding has caused animal charities to campaign against the making and selling of the product. King Charles is an advocate for food sustainability and “for years” he hasn’t “eaten meat and fish on two days a week” and doesn’t “eat dairy products on one day a week”. He said he is doing his bit to “reduce the pressure on the environment and everything else”, adding: “Because you see the thing about meat is very important - where does it come from, how is it grown? “So if it’s grass-based and from the right breeds, you know if it is better quality but eaten less often - that approach to farming is less damaging than the industrialised approach with intensive everything, and causing huge pressures and damage,” the King told BBC’s Big Interviews previously.

Image
These were the most popular stories on Yahoo Canada this week and one of them might surprise you! Video by Shibani Gokhale Video Transcript - These were the top-three stories on Yahoo Canada this week. One of them was about balloons, and one of them was about the McDonald's menu. What is going on? Let's dive into it. The top story of the week was unsurprisingly about mysterious balloons and objects flying over Canada and the United States. Four mysterious flying objects were spotted flying over North America this month. The US military shot down an elite Chinese spy balloon last week. They later also discovered and then neutralized an unidentified object in the sky over Alaska. Then the Canadian Air Force, working alongside the US, brought down a different object that was flying in Canadian airspace over Yukon. And then another one that was flying over Lake Huron, which straddles Ontario and Michigan. Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, said that they may be linked...

The £45.50 all-you-can-eat menu with a slightly stressful time limit - Manchester Evening News

Things that should be done on the clock include the 100m, the 200m, the 400m, the 800m, the 1500m… you get the idea with that. Things that should not be done under the pressure of a stopwatch include having dinner. That’s why the whole ‘bottomless brunch’ business has never held much appeal. Having someone time me eating? It’s bad enough when you’re told your table is needed back in two hours. All this concerns me before I re-enter in SakkuSamba, the Brazilian-Japanese (yep) fusion restaurant which opened on Bridge Street last summer. I was there on opening night. Immediately behind the table was a gentleman in a studded gold lamé catsuit on a raised runway, vigorously gyrating and high kicking. He was almost in your dinner.

It was not what you might have called relaxing, but I appreciated his enthusiasm greatly and still watch the video I took sometimes, just to give me a lift. You order on a t...
