All about Men and the women who love them!
German director Christian Petzold adapts a 1944 Holocaust novel by setting it in the modern day. The result is a haunting and beguiling narrative of 21st-century displacement.

When it comes to T-shirts, for the past few years, it’s all been about boxy fits with a crew neckline and a loose shape. However, this summer, The O.C.‘s Ryan Atwood has become an unlikely source of style inspiration. That’s right—a white tank top is no longer something you wear to rescue unprofessional work blouses.
Goldsign is partly behind the return of the tank, as its racer-front white T-shirt became a cult street style buy in 2018. The likes of Tom Ford and The Row have given the tank top a luxury makeover, but if $959 for a tank top sounds utterly ludicrous to you, we also love Weekday’s $11 version and Topshop’s high-neck $20 racer tank.
To make this look more elevated, we advise going for creamy hues rather than bright white. Also, pay close attention to the fabric. Arket’s ribbed knitted tanks and Jigsaw’s silk tops look particularly expensive. Keep scrolling to shop our edit of the best tank tops.

Presented by Cochon555 US Tour
Five renowned chefs gathered to celebrate farmers who sustainably raise heritage breed pigs by cooking up delicious porcine bites in a friendly competition for a worthy cause at Cochon555 Houston.
The epic Cochon555 feast presented by CitiBank took place in at the Four Seasons Resort—the official host and hotel of the 10th Anniversary Tour.
The five top chefs prepared and served over 1,500 pounds of heritage pigs bred at family farms to 600-plus guests, including chefs, sommeliers, barkeeps and notable judges. Partners of Cochon555 helped raise more than $4,000 for charity in a silent auction adorned with gifts from participating sponsors.
Host Chef Marcos Navarro of Bayou & Bottle at Four Seasons, Richard Knight of Atlas Diner, Jessica Timmons of Cherry Block, Quy Hoang of Blood Bros BBQ and EJ Miller of International Smoke all competed at the event.
Chef EJ Miller of International Smoke by Michael Mina clinched the regional title of “Prince of Pork” and will represent Houston at Grand Cochon, the national finale, on September 15 in Chicago.
With full glasses to toast the winning team, the audience cheered on Chef Miller.
He and his team presented of a global approach to visiting Houston through an inspired winning menu including: Hogonara, a pork skin pasta with porchetta di testa and egg yolk; Crispy Bottom Sow Bao, a bun filled with smoked pork butt, green onion and sesame; Borrachito Porkito, tacos made with blue corn masa, mezcal braised pineapple and shaved pork loin; Sam I Am, a chicharron dish consisting of boquerones, pork belly and egg custard; and the Veruca Snout, a pork blood devils food cake with salted caramel and pretzels.
The winning plate showcased one whole pig: a Red Wattle crossed with a Gloucester Old Spot raised by Three Sister Farms.
Additionally, the event also featured five of the city’s hottest barkeeps and Punch King’s chosen spirit: El Tesoro™ Blanco Tequila was the spotlight ingredient steeped with tradition.
Judith Piotrowski’s “Pittsburg Punch” combined El Tesoro Blanco Tequila, rhubarb ginger liqueur, rhubarb orgeat, lemon, rhubarb bitters, cream soda and garnished with a lemon wheel and candied ginger.
Cochon555 also features a wine-based competition called Somm Smackdown, in which five notable sommeliers select their favorite wine to pair with dishes presented by five competing chefs.
Lindsay Thomas of Pappas Steak House took the trophy with her selection, a 2003 Domaine Weinbach Muscat produced in the Alsace region of France.
“The national competition gets more intense and dynamic every year, and the performance of chefs, sommeliers, and barkeeps in Houston shows precisely why the city is synonymous with landscaping a responsible culinary excellence in this country,” Cochon555 founder Brady Lowe said of the event.
“We can’t wait for Chicago and Austin in the coming weekends, the flavor train continues across North America and will host more community events at magnificent properties such as the Four Seasons.”
The proceeds support Piggy Bank, a charitable foundation and start-up farm in Missouri that serves as a kickstarter for emerging family farms, as well as a safety net for farms in the wake of a disaster (flood, fire and disease).
Bayou & Bottle at The Four Seasons in association with craft-distilled Wheatley Vodka made by Master Distiller Harlen Wheatley in small batches and together they continue to give to charity through a limited menu “Cocktails for Charity” supporting Piggy Bank into next month.

“This recipe was inspired by a dear friends grandmother’s strawberry rhubarb pie. I was introduced to the idea of this pie by her grandson Corey, who told me I would never be able to make that pie as good as her.”
“I was put off by the challenge, but soon learned after trying it that I would never make a pie as good as hers. Ever since, strawberry rhubarb pie has had a special place in my heart. I wanted to use this recipe as a basis for something I could make well: punch.”
Step 1: Rhubarb Orgeat
Combine lemon zests and sugar in a vac bag, and seal. Leave overnight to create oleo. Pull out zests and combine oleo sugar with other ingredients in a blender. Mix on high until smooth.
Step 2: Pittsburg Punch (single serving)
In a tin combine all ingredients except cream soda. Shake and add soda. Serve in punch glass, and garnish with lemon wheel and candied ginger.
Ferrari just unleashed a brand new supercar with the heftiest V8 ever to power a Prancing Horse.
The 710-horsepower F8 Tributo is the successor to the 660-hp 488 GTB. The Italian automaker says that this iteration of the 3.9-liter, twin-turbocharged power plant has the highest output of any “production” Ferrari V8, though the “special” 488 Pista is technically more powerful.
Thanks to an 88-pound weight cut, the Tributo will hit 62 mph in 2.9 seconds, 124 mph in 7.8 seconds, and max out at 211 mph.
Outlets including Road and Track and Autoblog predict that the mid-engined two-seater will be way easier for the layman to handle at speed for two major reasons.
A re-engineered S-duct now channels air over the hood from under the grille, which delivers 15 percent more downforce and improves traction.
The Tributo also boasts the latest iteration of Ferrari’s Side Slip Angle Control and Dynamic Enhancer systems, which makes it easier to whip the tail through a corner without spinning out.
The cockpit has all of the typical drive controls one expects from a track-worthy performance vehicle on a new, slightly smaller steering wheel. There’s also a seven-inch touchscreen on the passenger’s side, because why not?
Prices will likely be announced when the F8 Tributo goes on display at the Geneva Motor Show next week.
Tinder wants to help beach-bound vacationers from all over the U.S. find a fling with “Spring Break” mode.
The pseudo-dating service’s new feature will allow users enrolled in Tinder U—a college student-only version of the app—see and swipe on others who are traveling to the same destination over spring break.
Per Tinder’s website, here’s how it works:
Get on Tinder and look for the Spring Break card. From there, you can add your Spring Break destination to see who’s going where.
We’ll show you the location your potential matches are headed right on their profiles, so you can match and chat.
According to The Verge, only the following sun-soaked locations will be supported: Cabo, Las Vegas, Miami, New Orleans, Puerto Vallarta, San Diego, Puerto Rico and Lake Havasu, Arizona.
Spring Break mode will be live from March 4 to March 31, so many users will be able to start matching ahead of their trip.
“We’ve historically seen huge upticks in Tinder usage during Spring Break in these destinations, and we are excited to give users the unique experience to connect before they pack their bags,” Tinder exec Jenny Campbell said in a statement.
Happy swiping!
Prepare to be stricken by some chicken.
Food Network personality, chef and unofficial Flavortown Mayor Guy Fieri is expanding his Disney World-based Chicken Guy! restaurant into a full-on fried poultry chain.
In a statement about the franchise’s forthcoming Aventura Mall opening in Miami, co-founder Robert Earl confirmed that there are plans to hatch many more Chicken Guy! locations all over the United States.
“With our second location, we are on our way to open Chicken Guy! locations across the country,” said Earl, who also owns the restaurant chains Earl of Sandwich, Buca di Beppo and Bertucci’s.
Fare at Fieri’s restaurants centers around antibiotic-free, fresh chicken tenders. Each is pounded by hand and then brined in lemon juice, pickles, buttermilk and herbs before getting pressure fried, according to Today.
Customers can dip their strips in one or more of over 22 different house-made sauces, including “Spicy Mayonaise,” “Cumin Lime Mojo” and “Donkey Sauce.”
It’s not exactly gourmet cuisine, but who doesn’t love fried chicken?
