America's Hottest Chicken Chain Started With $900—and Just Sold For $1 Billion
As soon as you walk through the door of a Dave's Hot Chicken, you see all the things that make it unlike other restaurant chains. The simple menu. The walls covered in murals and splattered with graffiti. The range of spice levels topped by 'Reaper,' which is so hot that it requires a waiver.
'You acknowledge that eating the Reaper can cause you harm,' the paperwork warns, 'including, but not limited to, bodily injury, property damage, emotional distress, or even death.'

Wrestling legend Ric Flair reveals cancer diagnosis after previously denying reports
Pro wrestling legend Ric Flair is battling skin cancer for the second time in three years, the Hall of Famer revealed this week. The former WWE star, 76, revealed the diagnosis in an interview with PEOPLE after previously denying reports last month, a decision he told the outlet whad been made out of concern for his privacy. "It's the second time in three years that I've been dealing with skin cancer," he told the outlet. "I will be undergoing treatment next week." Last month, Flair addressed the rumors in a post on X. "I'm Sorry People Have Been Misled By Social Media, But I Don't Have Cancer Of Any Kind," he wrote on May 5. "Thank You For Your Concerns And For Everyone Reaching Out. I Am Absolutely Fine, And Unfortunately, You'll Have To Live And Put Up With Me For Another 25 Years!" Flair announced his split from his fifth wife, Wendy Barlow, in September. In a post announcing the couple's divorce, he thanked Barlow for her support during a serious health complication in 2017. "I'll never be able to thank her enough for standing by my side through my terrible health crisis in 2017. She never left my side! And for that I will always be grateful," he said at the time. "We are working on different projects at the current time & it becomes difficult with my schedule & her schedule to make this work. "I wish her the best of luck with her projects, and I know that she supports mine." Flair was admitted to a hospital in Georgia in 2017, and according to Sports Illustrated's reporting at the time, he underwent surgery to remove part of his bowel. PEOPLE reported that doctors also found that he was in the early stages of kidney failure and on the verge of congestive heart failure, which were results of alcohol abuse.

Resident Evil Requiem Revealed, But Where's Leon Kennedy?
After a fake-out earlier in Summer Game Fest on Friday, Resident Evil Requiem, or Resident Evil 9, was shown for the first time. The new title is the first mainline entry since Capcom released Resident Evil Village in 2021, and is rumored to feature series stalwart Leon Kennedy. In the trailer, the only person we saw was a character named Grace Ashcroft, who works for the FBI and appears to have ties to Raccoon City. For the most hardcore Resident Evil fans, the name Ashcroft will ring a bell. Alyssa Ashcroft was one of the survivors of the online-only title, Resident Evil Outbreak for the PS2. Alyssa was a journalist who was trapped in Raccoon City during the events of Resident Evil 2, and she, along with other survivors, had to escape the city before it was destroyed. Grace is Alyssa's daughter, and in the trailer, she is going to visit the Remwood Hotel, where Alyssa was murdered. Later in the trailer, images from what appears to be the remnants of a destroyed Raccoon City are shown -- including the police department from RE2 -- so it appears Resident Evil 9 will return to where the series started. Leon's (rumored) return is a big deal for the series, which has made some of its best games with him in the starring role. He first showed up as a rookie cop in Resident Evil 2, which built on the original game's success with more story and improved monsters and level design. He showed up again in Resident Evil 4, which took the series in a new direction by introducing an over-the-shoulder perspective, instead of the usual static camera angles and tank controls. Leon was also one of several playable protagonists in Resident Evil 6, a game that seemed to forget about its survival horror roots. We mostly don't talk about that one. But the 2019 remake of Resident Evil 2 was an excellent return to form, bringing RE4's gameplay and much better graphics to a fan-favorite entry. The RE4 remake was a similar success. Resident Evil Requiem is set to drop Feb. 27, 2026, for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series consoles, but we're hoping to get our hands on it this weekend. If you want to catch up on older Resident Evil games, Capcom is having a sale that includes basically all the games, including Village and the three remakes.
