Even though he was known as The King, Elvis Presley's drink of choice isn't what you might expect from rock and roll royalty. Despite being one of the 20th century's most famous celebrities, rather than expensive champagne or imported beers, Presley preferred a humble libation invented to recharge athletes — Gatorade. The sports drink kept him going during live performances, and he can be seen sipping it in archival footage from many of his concerts in the late 1960s through the 70s.

Who hasn't made a silly kitchen blunder and inadvertently ruined a meal? We've all been there, so it can feel reassuring when pro chefs and celebrity cooks admit that they mess up sometimes. From making a mistake when reading a recipe to leaving out ingredients (or using the wrong ones), not every meal can end up perfect — even for The Pioneer Woman herself.

Seeing fresh asparagus start to show up at the market can be a thrill, signaling it's time to fire up the grill or break out your go-to seasonal salads. But, regardless if you're warming up the grates for the first time of the year or returning to your go-to recipe, there are some asparagus mistakes you might be making. One of the easiest faux pas to correct has to do with how you trim the spears, especially when you don't have a knife.

You could argue that aside from all the pots, pans, cooking tools, and accouterments, a well-equipped kitchen relies on a proper set of knives. Professional chefs will often speak of the only three knives you need in your kitchen arsenal — known as "the big three" — as being a chef's knife, paring knife, and serrated knife. In a recent

Chef Gordon Ramsay is recognized worldwide for his hot-tempered personality and profanity-laced delivery, which he freely unleashes across his many TV shows. Programs such as "Hell's Kitchen," "Kitchen Nightmares," "MasterChef," and many others have made him a household name. Perhaps the only thing he has more of than television series are the restaurants he owns.

Three friends set out to solve a vexing quandary — how to safely dip French fries and chicken nuggets in sauce while driving. While you might not think it's a big problem, roughly 20% percent of American meals are eaten in cars inspired the partners to solve it (via Do Something ). A more recent 2023 report points to 70% of commuters eating while driving (per

Curt Campbell has been obsessed with olive oil since 2003. That's when he traveled with his wife Amy Jo to Europe where they discovered olive oil bottling boutiques in The Netherlands as well as in Krakow, Poland. The shops allowed sampling of their oils before purchasing, at which point the product was bottled fresh in front of the customer. With nothing like this in the United States at the time, the Campbells recognized an opportunity to bring the concept to America.

Barack Obama's two terms as the 44th president of the United States are filled with accomplishments, and his time in office was nothing short of remarkable. While he will be remembered for his many achievements, not the least of which include ushering in the Affordable Care Act and receiving a Nobel Peace Prize, it's his culinary predilections that set him apart from his predecessors. Widely considered to be the nation's first foodie president, there's one sandwich in particular that ranks as Obama's favorite — the classic cheeseburger.

As one of America's most infamous true-crime duos, Bonnie and Clyde have inspired everything from revulsion to copycats. Romanticized in books and films, the murderous couple's notorious exploits have become the stuff of legend. Running rampant in the early 1930s, the pair committed robberies and murders throughout New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, and Missouri, but it was in Louisiana that Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker met their bloody fate.

A new type of overnight oats called MUSH got its start in the unlikeliest of places — Wall Street. The company's founders Ashley Thompson and Kat Thomas were both working for Goldman Sachs in 2015 when they decided to make the jump from finances to the food industry. Motivated by the lack of nutritious food options that would fulfill and fuel them through their work days, they tapped into their entrepreneurial skills to create their own. They zeroed in on a favorite treat Thompson used to make for herself as a kid — oatmeal soaked in milk — and transformed it into a wholesome, ready-to-eat product that could be sold in stores. The pair quit their jobs and moved to San Diego to focus on MUSH full-time, and developed it into a protein-rich, high-fiber, dairy-free, and gluten-free breakfast food with no added sugar.
