McDonald's Unveils Global Redesign
Next month, number one fast-food giant McDonald's will unveil a redesign of all its food products around the world. In what the corporation calls "the most comprehensive rollout in the brand's history," all 118 countries with McDonald's restaurants will launch new designs that advertise the chain's high-quality ingredients. The packaging, developed by UK marketing firm Boxer, draws attention to fresh ingredients and preparation: The new Big Mac box includes images of an onion, slices of cheese, a head of lettuce, and a freshly made hamburger, with the words "100 percent beef" and "all-beef patties" inscribed on the box.
My Hero!
Two things I love in a man: a British accent, and the ability to stuff an entire Big Mac in his mouth and swallow it in one bite. (The sad awesome thing is, I could totally do this, too!)
How Do You Order Big Macs Around the World?
In 1988, McDonald's announced their plan to set up 20 golden arches in Moscow. This marked an end to a quiet 10 year-long discussion, and the first Moscow McD's opened that fall. When it did, the people of Moscow were able to plonk down 1% of their monthly salary in order to enjoy a Big Mac.
Think You Know a Big Mac?
McDonald's famous burger, The Big Mac, turns 40 this year. Love it or hate it, the Big Mac has become a cultural force to be reckoned with. To celebrate the birthday of the hefty sandwich, I thought it would be fun to run a little quiz.

Fun With Fast Food!
Since I am always talking about how gross fast food is and the oddity of the bigger burger, I thought you guys would find this photo montage entertaining.
Basically it is one guy's vision of the evolution of the McDonald's Big Mac and just how BIG it will become. With obesity rates rising and the recent prediction that 75 percent of Americans are going to be overweight by 2015, these images seem surprisingly fitting.
Mac Attack! Goat Cheese and Pesto
You love pesto, I love pesto! I have to admit I was giddy when I found a recipe that combines the comfort of mac and cheese with pesto. It also uses another one of my favorites, goat cheese.
Can't Get Your Hands on Chanel Jade Green? You've Still Got Options.
Every year, there seems to be a highly coveted nail polish shade or two that hits the market with a frenzy. One example is last year's Metro Chic ($8) from Sephora by OPI, a perfectly muted smoky purple. Another example is Chanel's Le Vernis Nail Color in Vamp, so popular, in fact, it even has its own Wikipedia entry.
Big Brother 9 — The Final In Pictures
Rachel Rice was crowned winner of Big Brother 9 last night — she was the quiet unassuming housemate that sat on the fence throughout the show while the more opinionated housemates were evicted one by one. If you haven't already looked, then check out our reactions as it all played out in the live blog I took part in with a bunch of you last night — thanks to everyone who joined in, it was so much fun!
For a closer look at who was wearing what, who was kissing who and the final housemates' exits in picture form, then check out the rest of my enormous gallery from last night, before taking a trip down memory lane in a video of the best bits from the series — just read more
Leonardo DiCaprio to Make a Deep Blue Goodbye
This year's lineup of Fall movies has a big hole in it where Shutter Island once was, but fans of Leonardo DiCaprio can rest easy — the man has a whole lotta movies coming our way. His newest project is The Deep Blue Goodbye, which is based on John D. MacDonald's mystery novel series from the '60s.
Cheese Lovers Battle It Out at SF Macaroni Cook-Off
Call it the daddy of all mac-and-cheese battles: Earlier this month, a new group, SF Food Wars, hosted its first-ever event, a macaroni and cheese cook-off. Twenty contenders — and more than 200 eaters — attended the inaugural event, which benefited the San Francisco Food Bank.
