Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

Burger King Just Gave Its 47-Year-Old Chicken Sandwich Two New Upgrades

Of the two new sandwiches, the Loaded Jalapeño is the lighter option at 740 calories versus the Club’s 840 — a meaningful 100-calorie difference primarily driven by the Club’s bacon and Swiss cheese additions. Both are high in sodium, so pairing either with water rather than a fountain drink keeps the overall meal more balanced. If the jalapeño sandwich appeals to you, ask for extra pickled jalapeños — they add bold flavor with minimal calories, and based on early reviews, they’re the component most likely to be light-handed on the first run of a new menu item.

Research on traditional Asian noodle soup diets consistently finds that populations who eat noodle soups as a primary meal format consume higher levels of vegetables, more diverse protein sources, and more varied micronutrients than those eating single-component meals. The broth itself, when made from bones or dashi, provides additional nutritional benefits through its content of glycine, glutamate, and minerals that support gut health, cognitive function, and mineral balance.
