I still think the most impressive award show performance ever is Neil Patrick Harris's opening number at the 2013 Tonys. like, the ONLY time they were able to successfully complete it was during the live taping. and every celeb in the audience was STUNNED by the end.
here's the video in honor of tonight's Tony Awards lol

Take a look at what executive chef and owner José Hernandez of @BrasserieDuParc has brought to Savoir restaurant in the Heights. I think he makes the best tartare in town, and his short rib dish is remarkable. #Houston

All official MLB baseballs are hand-stitched at the Rawlings factory in Costa Rica.
No one has yet created a machine that can do it with the necessary precision.
Each one has exactly 108 double stitches (216 in total).

At an aquarium in South Korea, after closing time, some clever little otter pups help their grandpa tidy up their toys. As a reward, he gives them ice cubes
Community note
This is TOBA Aquarium, based in Japan. Not a South Korean aquarium. This is one of their caretakers, is not after closing, and these are not "pups."
An example of the otters:

Just had a KP’s Kitchen burger last week. 😋 Check out this week’s special (and you can combine it with the daily specials, too).
Stop by either location of KP's Kitchen this week (Bellaire or Spring Valley) and grab the Tax Week Burger with fries for just $10.40!
🍔 It's built with a beef patty, cheese, lettuce, pickles & tomato on a toasted bun with a side of fries. #Sponsored

🦙 Despite the whimsical name, Mad Llama Brewing is serving a stacked lineup of serious beers in the Spring / Klein corridor. The focus here is clean, well-crafted styles without leaning heavily on adjuncts.

Very fun visit, and I can now say I’ve gotten a start on my crawfish quota this year.
🍜 Had a chance to visit the combination restaurant concept CrawfishCafe PhoPrimeRestaurant - and I had a lot of fun.
👯♂️ I had a blast, enjoyed very good food and would not only come back but bring friends to help me demolish one of Crawfish Café's larger seafood selection.

also fun fact: I, along with my other colleagues, didn't receive a severence package or get our PTO paid out. We've started a gofundme! gofund.me/4aaa6b297
DIVA DOWN (again): Unfortunately, I was laid off from Houstonia yesterday after its parent company underwent an acquisition. The few months I spent here were amazing and I am so proud of the work that I've done.
