Now everyone can get lobster corn dogs topped with caviar at BottleRock 2025
For the first time in BottleRock Napa Valley history, the famous lobster corn dog topped with caviar is available to all festivalgoers.
The corn dog, a bougie BottleRock staple from Napa Valley's Michelin-starred Press Restaurant for the past three years, was previously exclusive to the VIP Culinary Garden. But this year, the team decided to have booths in both VIP and general admission areas. Attendees need to look no further than the giant 'Lobster Caviar Corn Dog' sign to get their hands on the $32 treat, which is being served by Under-study, Press' sister cafe that opens on Memorial Day in Saint Helena.
'The requests were overwhelming. Everybody last year was like, 'What is this thing? Where do I get it and how do I get it?,' said Justin Williams, Press and Under-study's director of operations.
He added that the team was bombarded with requests for the corn dog from people who didn't have VIP wristbands and received countless messages on Instagram. They also noticed 'people were taking a box of them to their friends in GA.'
Last year, the booth sold just under 2,000 corn dogs throughout the three-day festival. This year, with two booths, Williams said they expect to sell 5,000.
His team has been working tirelessly for a week-and-a-half on prep, as they made all of the ingredients (outside of the caviar) from scratch. The filling, consisting of fish mousse, chopped lobster and herbs, is battered, fried and then topped with a remoulade and caviar.
The price has gone up $6 since its 2023 debut.
In addition to the corn dog, Under-study is selling truffle fries ($19), a pretzel with smoked onion mustard ($15) and a soft serve sundae with strawberries and chocolate sauce ($15).

6 Apple TV+ shows that are so good, I wish I could enjoy them for the first time all over again
If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, BGR may receive an affiliate commission. There's a particular kind of magic that only comes with a first watch of a TV series — the sort of thing that makes you gasp at a twist you didn't see coming, get emotionally invested in a story and its characters, and whisks you away someplace else thanks to the visual magic of the medium. I've actually thought about this a lot while watching Apple TV+. It's no secret that Apple doesn't release as much content as most of the other streamers, but whenever Apple does get it right the result is often unforgettable. On that score, I've rounded up six Apple TV+ series below that are honestly so good, I wish I could erase them from memory just so I could experience them again for the first time. They range from heartwarming comedy to spy adventures and prestige drama that's as good as anything Hollywood has done in years. Today's Top Deals Best deals: Tech, laptops, TVs, and more sales Best Ring Video Doorbell deals Memorial Day security camera deals: Reolink's unbeatable sale has prices from $29.98 Bright, joyful, and full of heart, Acapulco has loads of How I Met Your Mother/The Wonder Years energy, thanks to narration by an older version of the show's main character — Maximo Gallardo, who as a young man in 1984 lands his dream job at the Las Colinas beach resort in Acapulco. The coming-of-age story unfolds with such a deft balance of charm and depth that by the end of each episode, you're either grinning or teary-eyed — and many times, both. The pastel-colored aesthetic and overall wholesome introduction to Mexico's culture certainly made me want to dig out my passport for that first visit to Mexico I keep planning. It somehow feels like underselling this next Apple TV+ standout by describing it as a mere TV show. Drops of God is a feast for the senses disguised as a family drama — sort of like a wine industry version of Succession. At the center of it all is a globe-spanning narrative stemming from the death of a wine expert who sets up a series of tests in order to determine who will inherit his estate: Will it be his estranged daughter, or his prized pupil? The series is tense, beautiful, and quietly devastating. And befitting its subject, the cinematography here is as intoxicating as an aged Bourdeaux. This dreamy adaptation of Min Jin Lee's award-winning novel is, without question, one of the most extraordinary things I've ever seen on television. It begins in Japanese-occupied Korea and follows Sunja, a young woman whose decisions echo across generations, as her family migrates to Japan and struggles to carve out a life amid war, discrimination, and dislocation. The title refers to the Japanese gambling game — one the family eventually turns into a livelihood — but it's also a haunting metaphor for the randomness of life, the slim odds of success, and the quiet resilience of those determined to endure. Here again, this is an Apple TV+ show that's on par with cinema. The visuals, the acting, and the storytelling in Pachinko are each breathtaking in their own right. Watching the show, dare I say, might even change you, not unlike the way traveling outside one's home country for the first time makes a profound impression on you. This next one broke the internet just a few months ago, with its jaw-dropping and supremely addictive second season. The premise behind Severance sounds simple: What if you could split your work and personal memories into two separate lives? The execution ended up being a masterclass in slow-burn tension, eerie world-building, and existential dread. Severance is actually so good, it's now the most-watched Apple TV+ series of all time, according to the streamer, and I envy anyone discovering this puzzle box for the very first time. It's rare for a spy thriller to be both razor-sharp and grimy, but Slow Horses pulls off that quirky balancing act thanks in large part to Gary Oldman's glorious mess of a lead performance. The show also pulls off a neat trick — it turns the espionage genre on its head by focusing on a team of MI5 outcasts rather than more competent secret agents with movie star good looks. The resulting story somehow makes these characters' loser status feel both hilarious and heroic. This is basically espionage with a hangover. It's messy and unpredictable. In a genre obsessed with perfection, Slow Horses makes failure look like a superpower. From its opening moments, Tehran grabs you and doesn't let go. This tightly-wound espionage thriller follows Tamar, a Mossad hacker sent undercover in Iran's capital, where one wrong move could mean the end — not just for her mission, but for her life. What makes the show stand out isn't just the cat-and-mouse plotting, but the emotional depth running beneath every decision Tamar makes. It's a story about identity, loyalty, and the psychological cost of living a lie. The upcoming third season has me especially excited — not just because Tehran raised its game significantly in Season 2, but also thanks to the arrival of Hugh Laurie, who joins the cast as a nuclear plant supervisor. When spy thrillers are done right, avoiding tired tropes and leaning into sharp writing and believable tradecraft, they're among my favorite kinds of shows to stream. And Tehran delivers so strongly, fans of The Bureau and The Americans will feel right at home here. With a lead actress who commands every scene and a constant undercurrent of tension, double-crosses, and moral ambiguity, Tehran stays a step ahead at every turn.

‘Ballerina' Losing Opening Weekend Box Office Match To ‘Lilo & Stitch'
Ana de Armas in "From the World of John Wick: Ballerina." Ana de Armas and Keanu Reeves' From the World of John Wick: Ballerina is falling short in its quest to take the No. 1 spot from Lilo & Stitch at the weekend box office. Lilo & Stitch, of course, had a blockbuster opening over the four-day Memorial Day weekend box office from May 23-26 and fended off Karate Kid: Legends to hold on to its box office crown in its second-weekend frame from May 30-June 1. This weekend, Disney's live-action adaptation of the 2002 animated classic is continuing its domestic box office dominance against Ballerina, which is a prequel movie set during the events of 2019's John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum. Deadline is projecting that Lilo & Stitch is on track to earn $32 million to $34 million from 4,185 theaters through Sunday, while forecasting a $26 million to $30 million No. 2 debut for Ballerina, which is opening in 3,409 venues. Deadline's estimate for Ballerina falls within the range of a mid-week projection by Variety, which pegged a $28 million to $30 million opening frame, but comes up short of Box Office Pro's opening weekend forecast of $32 million to $40 million. Ballerina had a $90 million production budget with a prints and advertising budget of $45 million, Deadline reported. Although the character of John Wick is part of the film's formal title, Keanu Reeves plays a supporting role in Ballerina, in which Ian McShane, Anjelica Huston and the late Lance Reddick all reprise their roles from the John Wick franchise. Rated R, Ballerina also stars Gabriel Byrne, Catalina Sandino Moreno and Norman Reedus. Ana de Armas and Keanu Reeves in "From the World of John Wick: Ballerina." While Ballerina is falling short of pre-release forecasts, its projected take of $26 million to $30 million is enough to create a healthy separation from Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning. Tom Cruise's latest— and potentially last — mission as Ethan Hunt is projected by Deadline to earn $14 million from 3,496 North American theaters through Sunday for a No. 3 finish this weekend after spending two weekends at No. 2. The Hollywood trade publication also projects a $9 million take for Karate Kid: Legends from 3,859 theaters domestically for the No. 4 spot and a $5.7 million take for The Phoenician Scheme from 1,678 venues for a fifth place finish. The latest comedy from director Wes Anderson, The Phoenician Scheme staged its world premiere at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival in the South of France in May and opened in limited release in six theaters on May 30. Note: This box office report will be updated throughout the weekend as new domestic and international numbers become available. The final numbers for this weekend's box office will come out on Monday.

Christy Carlson Romano Shared New Details About The Moment She Was Shot In The Face
Warning: Graphic image of body injury. For the first time, Christy Carlson Romano is opening up about when she was shot in the face earlier this year. People got an exclusive look at an upcoming episode of the Not a Damn Chance! podcast — hosted by pro skateboarder Neen Williams and Michelin-starred chef Phillip Frankland Lee — where Christy revisited the moment when it all went down. On Feb. 7, while shooting clay pigeons for her husband, Brendan Rooney's, birthday, Christy was shot in the face. In the caption alongside a video shared on her Instagram on Feb. 8, Christy wrote, "Yesterday was my husband's birthday and I took him to shoot clay pigeons as a present. There was another party with us and they unsafely fired in the wrong direction and shot me in the face. @thebrendanrooney immediately sprung into action, assessed me, and rushed me to the hospital. I was hit in 5 places, one was less than an inch from hitting me directly in my right eye." On the podcast, Christy told Neen that she was not "at liberty to say specifics" on how it happened but did share a few details about the frightening incident. "It's a birdshot that got sprayed in my direction by another party, and essentially it was within 200 feet, which means really fast and hot," Christy explained. According to People, she clarified that it wasn't "malicious" or "aggravated assualt," while noting the importance of gun safety.

Christy shared what was going through her head when it happened, giving a detailed play-by-play of her thoughts and emotions as she endured the terrifying incident. "I'm shocked and what goes through my head immediately is, 'Oh that's dope, I just got shot.' And then I go, 'Oh now I'm gonna die,' I take a knee. My husband witnessed it and was like 'Hey are you hit?' because I didn't scream. I didn't do anything. I was just out of body." Related: 21 Times Celebrities Revealed Wildly Juicy, Shady, Or Even Disturbing Things In Interviews When Christy was initially shot, she gave her husband a thumbs up, a gesture she'd learned from her time on Season 3 of Special Forces: World's Toughest Test to signal that they were okay during the show's dangerous challenges. But this time, she was apparently in shock. She was not okay. "He was like, 'Oh, you're good.' And I was like, 'No, I'm hit.' He goes, 'Oh shit,'" Christy said of her husband, Brendan's response. "So he's running to me and making sure I'm okay, and he's fighting the urge to hurt the person…but he's been practicing stoicism recently, and there was something in him. He was immediately into action mode, evaluating me, and ran to get the car." "I felt this huge rush that I'd never felt before where I was starting to get really woozy. I think it was shock," she said. "I was covered in blood from my forehead…and I said three things. I was like, am I gonna die? Who's gonna take care of the girls? Is my career over?" "If my head would've been tilted in any other direction, I would have been blind in my right eye. Or if I had turned my head, I could have gotten hit in a softer side of my skull and I would have potentially been dead," she added. Christy revealed that the fragments of shotgun pellets were still technically in her eye. "I have a fragment still in my forehead and I have a fragment still behind my eye, which is 1 millimeter away from blinding me." On Feb. 11, Christry shared an Instagram video from her visit to Dr. Sean Paul, an oculoplastic surgeon, explaining that she was thankful the bullet missed her eyeball, nerves, and muscles by less than one millimeter. In the caption, she wrote, "It is a miracle. 🙏 The shot was less than 1mm from permanently blinding me. @drseanpaul also explained that the shot missed all the vital parts of my eye by moving around them like a marble hugging the curve of a bowl (it's an anomaly)." On Feb. 12, Christy shared another update after visiting plastic surgeon Dr. Chris Schneider. Christy wrote, "When the fragment that struck my head hit, it gave me a concussion (explains why I was so woozy). Looks like it's deep enough into my skull where I can't remove it, but it also won't move on its own. The new information on the one lodged behind my eye: it struck my cheek bone which stopped it from entering my brain." On the podcast, Christy said when she was at the hospital, she tried to lighten the mood with humor to bring ease to everyone involved in her care. "In retrospect, I was trying to be funny and not cry because I wanted the people around me to feel more calm so that they could take better care of me." The Not A Damn Chance! podcast episode with Christy will be out on June 10.
