Fast food: Mmmmm, Bacon! Chick-fil-A is bringing back its Smokehouse BBQ Bacon Chicken Sandwich for the summer. Besides chicken (of course), it's got colby-jack cheese, green leaf lettuce, bacon (which is hand-tossed in a brown sugar and pepper blend), and zesty Smokehouse BBQ Sauce on a toasted, buttered sweet yeast bun. It's got 500 calories with 34-percent from fat and carbohydrates (38%). 1200 mg of sodium in each sandwich as well.
And Arby's has added a new Bacon 'N Brisket Beef 'N Cheddar Sandwich to its menu, with smoked brisket, roast beef, and pepper bacon, with cheddar cheese sauce and red ranch sauce on a classic onion roll. In case you're wondering, the sandwich has 760 calories and 2120 mg of sodium. The calories from fat alone: 370.Ratings: I know you were wondering --Without JAMES HOLZHAUER on his quest to make money on "Jeopardy!" during the two-week "Teacher's Tournament," the show --which had gone from less than 10-million viewers to 12-million before the break-- dropped enough viewers to move back into the number two spot behind "Judge Judy," which until Holzhauer's string, had been the number one syndicated show.
Now, we'll see whether Holzhauer's winning streak will put "Jeopardy!" on top again for the remainder of his run.The Notorious B.I.G. is getting a street in Brooklyn named after him.
BIGGIE SMALLS was born CHRISTOPHER WALLACE and grew up in Brooklyn. And the stretch of St. James Place between Gates Avenue and Fulton Street near the border of Bedford-Stuyvesant will be renamed Christopher Wallace Way during a ceremony on June 10th, according to Billboard magazine.
Biggie's mom, VOLETTA WALLACE; his two children, T'YANNA and CHRISTOPHER Jr.; are expected to attend the ceremony as well as close friends and other family members.
The NYC City Council also approved naming a street after the WU TANG CLAN along with Biggie back in December. The "Wu Tang Clan District" is on the corner of Vanderbilt Avenue and Targee Street in Staten Island and awarded earlier this month (on Saturday, May 4th). Wu-Tang Clan members, including Raekwon, Cappadonna, and Ghostface Killah were at the renaming then. -
