McDonald's has opened two restaurants in Japan that sell only Quarter Pounder meals (single or double). Aptly titled, Quarter Pounder, the restaurants are probably part of a marketing campaign to promote the burger which is not currently sold in regular McDonald's restaurants.

Confessions of a first-time naked sushi model.

Emeritus Professor Raul Cano of the California Polytechnic State University, originally extracted the yeast a decade ago and has used the reactivated yeast to brew barrels of pale ale and German wheat beer.

I've just discovered the City Beer Store in San Francisco. This store is like a small piece of beer heaven.

And when you are ready to go you can “mix & match” a 6 pack to take with you. Has anyone been......
