Grand Rapids says goodbye to Buddy’s Pizza

Losing Buddy’s Pizza in Grand Rapids feels like the end of an era for local pizza lovers. After years of serving up that signature crispy, cheesy Detroit-style pie, the last West Michigan location is closing its doors for good. It’s wild to think you’ll have to drive all the way to Metro Detroit for a true Buddy’s fix now. For many, the frozen version just doesn’t compare. What’s your favorite Buddy’s memory? And where do you go now for Detroit-style pizza in town? Let’s share some local pizza gems! #Food #GrandRapids #BuddysPizza

Buddy’s Pizza exits West Michigan for good

Losing Buddy’s Pizza in West Michigan feels like the end of an era for local pizza lovers. After the Portage and Walker locations closed, the last Grand Rapids Buddy’s will serve its final slice on January 23. For many, frozen Buddy’s just isn’t the same as the real deal. While you can still find their iconic Detroit-style pizza in Metro Detroit, it’s tough knowing the west side won’t have that crispy, cheesy goodness anymore. What’s your favorite Buddy’s memory, and do you think another local spot can fill the void? #Food #DetroitStylePizza #GrandRapids

Jacksonville pizza manager stands firm on returns

Eating almost all your pizza and then asking for a refund? That’s what happened at a Papa John’s in Jacksonville, and the manager’s response is getting major support online. When a customer tried to return three pizzas—one just an empty box—claiming they were burnt, the manager calmly explained the store’s policy: no refunds if you’ve eaten more than two slices. Most people agreed with him, saying you can’t finish your food and then decide you want your money back. Where do you stand on this? Should restaurants ever make exceptions, or is the policy fair? #Food #Jacksonville #PapaJohns

Bagels Are Taking Over Madrid!

Imagine moving to Madrid and realizing you can’t find a bagel anywhere—so you open your own shop! That’s exactly what Tamara Cohen did. Her family was expelled from Spain centuries ago, but thanks to a new law, she got citizenship and brought Philly-style bagels to the city. Now, locals line up for her challah and bagels every weekend. It’s not just about food—it’s about reclaiming history, building community, and serving up comfort (with a schmear). #Food #MadridEats #JewishHeritage

#food Chipotle Veggie Burritos Burritos can be a healthy, vegetarian dish when you load them up with wholesome ingredients like rice, beans and corn

#food Buddha's Delight If you're a meal prepper, Buddha's delight is a great make-ahead lunch option, since it takes a bit of time to prepare. Traditionally consumed by Buddhist monks, it is now popular around the world as a healthy vegetarian Chinese restaurant option. In our version, we chose vegetables with texture and flavor in mind, resulting in a pleasant combination of crunchy, tender and crisp elements. (We also included garlic and ginger, which may not align with a strictly Buddhist diet.) Feel free to mix and match with other vegetables, such as bamboo shoots, lotus root, bean sprouts or carrots—to name a few.

Indiana’s championship win gets a tasty twist

Hoosiers fans are still buzzing after Indiana’s epic football championship, and now Chipotle is joining the celebration in a big way. They’ve just launched the Coach Cignetti “I Win” Bowl—named after IU’s head coach and his signature order. It’s packed with brown rice, chicken, black beans, and guac, and only available through the Chipotle app or website. Even better, if you wear Indiana University gear to any Chipotle in Indiana, you’ll score a free meal with your entrée. This is the first time Chipotle’s honored a coach like this—how’s that for hometown pride? Who’s trying the new bowl? #Food #IndianaHoosiers #Chipotle

Martini Fail: The Olive Oil Disaster

Ever tried making a dirty martini at home and ended up with a greasy mess? Turns out, Trader Joe’s blue cheese stuffed olives are packed in olive oil, not brine—so your martini will taste more like salad dressing than a cocktail. Tons of people online have made the same mistake! Pro tip: check the label, or grab garlic-stuffed or lemon-stuffed olives for the real briny flavor. Don’t let your next happy hour go sideways! #Food #MartiniFail #TraderJoes
