Among the sacrifices made by those looking to eat healthier, abandoning cereal is near the top of the list for many. With Magic Spoon, it doesn't need to be. These recreations of childhood (or adulthood) favorites pack 12 grams of protein into every 110-calorie bowl, with just 3 grams of net carbs, zero gluten, zero grains, and nothing artificial. Take your pick from cinnamon, frosted, fruity, or cocoa flavors, or grab a variety pack and try them all.
Soylent's meal replacement drinks are extremely popular with those that don't want to have to think about nutrition (or food, for that matter). With the company's 100-calorie Squared meal bars, snack time is covered, too. Each bar weighs a little under an ounce and is packed with 5g of plant-based protein, 36 essential nutrients like vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids, and probiotics. Available in 30 packs, they come in Chocolate Brownie, Salted Caramel, and Citrus Berry flavors.
Even if you can't make it to the Masters this year, you can still eat like it. Using the same recipe served at the event for decades — Ted Godfrey's restaurant Wife Saver was the sole supplier to the event for a number of years — Ted's Famous Augusta Pimento Cheese brings the taste of ANGC to wherever you are. Available in 2, 4, or 6 lb packs, it can be eaten a variety of ways, but the best is also the most traditional: between two pieces of white bread, cradled inside one of the included signature green sandwich baggies.
On May 1, Japan will celebrate the beginning of the Reiwa era and the Enthronement of Emperor Naruhito. The Oak Door restaurant inside the Grand Hyatt Tokyo is doing so with a special burger. Dubbed the Golden Giant Burger, it consists of a 1kg beef patty, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, cheddar cheese, Wagyu beef slices, foie gras, and freshly shaved black truffles. It's served atop gold-dusted buns alongside triple-cooked giant fried potatoes and a magnum-sized bottle of champagne, red, or white wine. For smaller appetites, there's a Golden "R" version, which keeps the gold-dusted bun, foie gras, Wagyu slices, and black truffles while adding Madera Sauce and goat cheese. The Golden Giant will be served through June 30, and orders must be placed at least three days in advance.
For an eating experience outside of your comfort zone, look no further than the whole animal dining menu at Frontier in Chicago. They offer a variety of whole animal choices which are typically served family style for groups that range between 10 to 25 people. The most popular options are farm-raised pigs and boar from Texas, but the adventurous diner might opt for the wild-caught alligator from the swamps of Louisiana, which is stuffed with whole chickens before being slathered in a house-made marinade and then smoked and roasted.
You can get almost anything delivered these days, but you'd be hard-pressed to find a better option than Butcher Box. They offer some of the best meat you can find, from 100% grass-fed and finished beef, to free-range organic chicken, and Heritage breed pork. And if you don't know the difference between these high-quality protein options and the regular stuff, you've never tried the best. Butcher Box lets you skip the grocery shopping and delivers their fresh, personally taste-tested meats to you monthly with free shipping and will curate a selection for you or let you customize your box — each of which is perfectly packed and portioned for your needs.

The original Impossible burger promised a meat-comparable experience from an entirely plant-based recipe. The results represented a real breakthrough, yet left many underwhelmed. For the skeptics and faux-meat-lovers alike, the company is introducing its 2.0 recipe. Like the original, it looks pink when raw yet turns a crispy brown when cooked. Unlike the original, it can be used in any recipe that calls for ground beef and is lower in calories, fat, and sodium, with higher-quality protein. It also tastes better, which is really the only thing that matters. It's rolling out now in select restaurants across the country.
In 2016, the Tactica Talon became the highest funded multitool in crowdfunding history. Using the feedback from thousands of backers, it's since been improved and rechristened the Tactica Original. Packed into its 3.1-inch case that can be attached to a key ring are a multitude of tools, including more than a dozen wrenches (imperial and metric), a bottle opener, a package opener, a ruler, hex sockets, and both Phillips and flathead bits. It's TSA compliant, so you can leave it in your pocket while flying, and its hardened steel core is wrapped in a lightweight composite that won't scratch your phone's screen.

Immortalized on screen by Jeff Bridges in The Big Lebowski, Vuarnet's The Dude sunglasses will add some laid back vibes to your summer wardrobe.

The frames are made from a tough shape memory nylon for comfort and have integrated monobloc hinges as well as a removable bridge insert, while the grey polar lenses offer maximum protection against glare whether it's coming from the sun or your lighter. Made in France.

Grown in the heart of Northern Indiana's Amish country, this assortment of popcorn is far from the microwave stuff you'll get at the store.

At the corner of Hollywood and Vine, you'll find APL: the latest venture from chef and meat guru Adam Perry Lang. Inspired by steakhouses from the late 1800s and early 1900s, the restaurant is also now accepting members for their unique APL Beef Club. Membership allows you to procure 40 pounds of bone-in "Flinstonian Rib" tomahawk steaks that are dry-aged in APL's 1,000 square foot "environmental chamber." All of the beef is hormone and antibiotic free, butchered on-site, and can be aged for up to one year from the date of your purchase. During its time in the chamber, the meat intensifies to bring out incredibly rich flavors with the sweet spot of maturity being between 90-150 days. Your "Flinstonian Rib" will yield about 10 to 12 restaurant-sized portions of delicious steaks and can be enjoyed in one sitting with a large group or by visiting APL multiple times until it's gone within one year.
From pastry chef and Cronut inventor Dominique Ansel, this annual gourmet cereal release goes on sale at noon EST today and sells out quickly. Obviously created to be consumed on Christmas morning, the cereal is a rich treat made from clumps of crispy puffed rice covered in caramelized milk chocolate with candied hazelnuts and smoked cinnamon meringue drops.
Tom Brady is 41 years old. Tom Brady is the starting quarterback for the New England Patriots. These two facts are only simultaneously possible thanks to Brady's strict diet and workout regimen. While you won't be racking up Hall of Fame numbers anytime soon, you can take advantage of Tom and his trainer's nutrition research with these TB12 Performance Meals. Each package includes two servings of three separate meals, all gluten-free, high in protein, 100% plant-based, and soy-limited. Oh, and they're also tasty, so much so that they're approved by the QB and his supermodel wife.
Democrat, Republican, Independent — whatever your political alignment, we can all agree that long lines at the polls are no good. Pizza to the Polls is a non-profit, non-partisan organization dedicated to making those lines a little better with something else we can all agree on: pizza. When long lines are reported to the group via Twitter or Instagram, they spring into action, ordering pies from local pizzerias to be delivered to the hungry, democracy-loving masses. The group is funded by donations and uses all funds to feed voters, so once you've fulfilled your civic duty today, consider dropping a little coin to make sure your fellow citizens stick it out and do the same.

Joshua Applestone was an important part of the growth of whole-animal butchery. Now he's out to reshape another part of the business: purchasing. His Applestone Meat Co. Vending Machines let you grab quality cuts anytime, not just when the butcher is available. Currently, four of the machines sit at the company's Stone Ridge, NY shop, and are constantly restocked with beef, pork, lamb, and ground meats.

The Japanese Sando — a sandwich where the beef is breaded and flash-fried to give it a crispy exterior and soft interior — is quickly gaining popularity in the States. When it opens tomorrow, Wall Street-based Don Wagyu will be serving the most expensive version in America. The nearly $200 sandwich starts with a five-ounce cut of wagyu, sourced from a single farm and aged 36 months. It's then breaded with panko, fried, and placed on crustless squares of white bread. Joined on the menu by two more affordable options, it's served with nori-dusted fries and housemade pickles and is best washed down with one of Don's available whiskeys, sakes, or beers.
For its 130th anniversary, Katz Delicatessen has announced a subscription service to get your hands on their menu without being anywhere near the deli itself. The service is split up into monthly packages that change with the seasons and include a full meal for 4-6 people. The service allows you to customize your box with the ability to choose from classics like brisket, Matzoh Ball Soup, sausages, or their world famous slow-smoked 30-day Pastrami. Buyers also get a VIP card that lets them cut the line if they're at the deli in person.
Made using mustard seeds that are cut instead of crushed for a finer texture and filled by hand directly from the pump, Maille's mustards are among the best in the world. This particular version is infused with black truffles and Chablis white wine from Burgundy, giving it a rich, earthy flavor that pairs well with a variety of foods including chicken, salmon, and risotto. It arrives in a Burgundy-made stoneware jar with cork lid.
Beautifully marbled, true Japanese Wagyu beef is hard enough to find as it is. Olive Wagyu Beef is even rarer. Raised on a small number of farms in and around Shodoshima Island in Kagawa, these cows are fed a diet of caramelized olive pulp leftover from olive oil production, resulting in high levels of oleic acid and an unbelievable softness that melts in your mouth. Crowd Cow is now bringing highly limited amounts of this prized meat stateside. For your chance at the next shipment, sign up and make a purchase before it goes on sale this summer.
Two trained chefs and butchers started Porter Road — an online butcher shop that offers premium cuts of beef, pork, lamb, and chicken. They oversee every step of the process (from working directly with farmers to dry aging all of their beef in-house), and all of their offerings are 100% pasture-raised with no added hormones or antibiotics. A good cross-section of their meats is available through the starter pack which includes 2 dry-aged steaks, 2 pork chops, 2 pounds of dry aged ground beef, 1 pound of cherry-wood smoked bacon, 1 pound of handcrafted chorizo sausage, and 1 pound of country breakfast sausage.

You don't have to be in a coastal city to enjoy fresh oysters, and now, you don't even have to leave your home.

Sweeter during spring months and brinier in the fall and winter, they're available in 3 or 5 dozen bags.
One of the more versatile seasonings in your fridge is the latest item to enter a Kentucky Bourbon Barrel. Worcestershire Sauce: the tangy, savory addition to many steaks and Bloody Mary's through the years, is now available from Bourbon Barrel Brands. The all-natural, anchovy-free, vegetarian blend includes sorghum, apple cider vinegar, tamarind, and their microbrewed soy sauce. It's then aged in the aforementioned barrels, taking on some added flavor before bottling.
