    We live in a world where people can spell Galifianakis and Kardashian but can't remember the difference between "you're" and "your."

    If #FGCU wins, people in Fort Myers are going to riot. And by riot I mean they're going to have a second piece of Key lime pie.

    BREAKING NEWS: BBC reporting Qaddafi is captured. Also captured: Gadaffi, Khadafy and Kadafi, so it's like a 4-for-1 Groupon on dictators.

    Dear #TopChef, one season, tell the chefs they cannot use scallops, bacon, pork belly or lobster. See what they do then. Cheers, Jeff.

    Why do chefs insist that quirky equals interesting food? Simplicity. That works. Simple and elegant. Clean. Thai German? Nein. #TopChef
