Habit Burger & Grill's Trucks Journey 1,950 Miles, Serve 3,000 Free Double Charburgers on Epic #1 Burger Fan Search
What followed was an epic burger manhunt: diesel engines humming across 1,950 miles of desert highways, roadside diners, and endless possibilities. When the trucks finally rolled into New Orleans, they carried more than food—they carried an obsession to get the #1-ranked burger into the hands of America's #1 burger fan.
From die-hard football fanatics to joyful locals and hard-working police officers and security teams… and even NFL legends like Isaac Rochell and Braxton Berrios, the California-born burger created an unexpected frenzy. The truck team's momentum carried them straight into the Sports Illustrated Party full of VIPs, where they served their free Double Char until 3:30 a.m.
'The response was absolutely electric,' said Jack Lettenmair, Habit's Director of Marketing Strategy, and the weekend's impromptu Chief Burger Ambassador. 'We even attended the big game with a gentleman who looked remarkably similar to a certain legendary NFL coach—and let's just say he knew his way around a Double Char. I feel like we almost found our #1 burger fan. Almost.'
Lettenmair, joined by social creators Michael DiCostanzo, Mackenzie Dimatteo, Alisha Marie, Zane Hijazi, and Almost Andy Reid, took to the streets with unbridled enthusiasm, bullhorn in hand, turning the French Quarter into an impromptu burger festival.
'I've lost my voice, and this bullhorn has officially become an extension of my arm,' Lettenmair laughed, 'but seeing thousands of people discover the #1 burger in America made it all worth it.'
The burger celebration may have concluded, but Habit Burger & Grill's mission to unite the #1-ranked Double Char with America's #1 burger fan continues.
'This weekend proved what we've always known,' Lettenmair added. 'Nothing hits the spot like a Charburger, no matter who you are or where you are—even if we have to drive 1,950 miles to make it happen. We'll never give up until we find the true #1 burger fan.'
Somewhere in America, The One awaits—unaware that their perfect burger is searching for them.

Tracce Ellis Ross jokingly calls out Barack Obama for 'failing her as a friend'
Durng her latest appearance on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live', Tracee Ellis Ross humorously scolded Barack Obama for not warning her about a doomed relationship. Tracee Ellis Ross didn't let a breakup slide—she called out her good friend, Barack Obama In a delightfully candid moment on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on August 14, 2025, Tracee Ellis Ross recounted a bite of self-awareness served with equal parts humor and friendship. Following a recent breakup, the actress—known for her introspective wit—ran into none other than former President Barack Obama. His remark? 'I could have told you that.' Ross's response? Quick and unapologetic: 'Well, you failed as a friend! Like, it was your job to say that before.' Friendship meets accountability Ross's playful rebuke reveals how she values honesty—even from friends as esteemed as the Obamas. She explained that she appreciates friends who 'nip it in the bud' when they see red flags in her relationships. That kind of truth-telling, she implies, is a real measure of friendship. Still their go-to for love advice? Rather than holding a grudge, Ross admitted that she still turns to Barack Obama for dating insight. In fact, she's even more aware now of one unclaimed advantage: she's never asked Michelle Obama to play matchmaker—something she laughs might be 'dumb,' but is now considering. Keeping It respectful—even in friendship Despite their closeness, Ross shared that she's maintained a kind of formal deference toward Michelle Obama—you know, 'Mrs. Obama.' This is a habit from how she was raised, and she's stuck with it, even after Michelle suggested she drop the formality. Dating dynamics and boundaries Ross's reflections add even more texture when seen alongside her past comments on love. On Michelle Obama's podcast IMO, Ross revealed her attraction to younger men—whom she finds more emotionally open. She explained that many men her age, raised in traditional structures, bring outdated ideas and dynamics into relationships that she's simply not interested in. A reality check—and an awesome bad date story As if to underscore the messiness of modern dating, Ross also shared a comically disastrous recent date: the guy plopped his phone up against his drink and spent the date watching a basketball game. Ross asked him, 'Who's playing?' He lifted a finger, as if to say, 'Don't let me miss it.' She quietly texted friends: 'This did not go well.' Yet, the guy still texts her—proof that not all bad dates are final. Solve the daily Crossword

Disney's new ESPN app reaches for sports fans outside cable TV
By Lisa Richwine LOS ANGELES -Walt Disney's ESPN will deliver its full range of sports programming outside of pay TV for the first time starting on Thursday, when the network debuts an app designed to be a hub for live games and personalized news, stats and highlights. The ESPN app is Disney's effort to capture some of the tens of millions of customers that the pioneering sports channel has lost since 2010 during the streaming TV revolution. ESPN executives said they have tailored the new offering, which is far broader than the limited ESPN+ app launched in 2018, to cater to the tastes of today's sports fans. "We know that fans don't just want to watch," ESPN Chairman Jimmy Pitaro told reporters. "They want an experience. They want to interact." The app will offer more than 47,000 live events each year from the NFL, NBA, WNBA, NHL, college football, tennis, golf and other sports. It will cost $30 per month. An introductory offer will include ad-supported versions of the Disney+ and Hulu streaming services for free. Fans can enter their favorite teams and sports for customization such as a personalized version of the "SportsCenter" news and recap show. Artificial intelligence will generate narration based on the voices of ESPN anchors. A new feature called "Verts," or scroll-ready, vertical video highlights, also can be tailored. Stats for a user's fantasy players will be displayed next to live games. And an ESPN Bet tab will show live, settled and upcoming bets for users who have linked their betting accounts. Disney Chief Executive Bob Iger has called the app "a sports fan's dream." Industry analysts see it as a chance for the company to pick up fans who do not subscribe to cable, and they do not expect it will pull masses from pay TV. ESPN was available in 100 million homes through pay TV in 2010. In July of this year, that number stood at about 61 million. "It's another step in Disney's pivot to (streaming) and the importance to streaming to the overall company," said MoffettNathanson analyst Robert Fishman. ESPN will promote the app extensively. Actor John Cena will star in commercials that stress "All of ESPN. All in One Place." Pay television will "remain a big part" of ESPN's business, Pitaro said. For the quarter that ended in June, ESPN accounted for $1 billion of Disney's $4.6 billion in operating income, or nearly 22%. Most of ESPN's revenue came from fees paid by cable and satellite distributors and from advertising. Subscribers to pay TV will have access to the new ESPN app. Pitaro said the company hoped to drive all of its customers to the app "because that's by far the best, the most holistic experience."

Kristin Cavallari's ex Jay Cutler accuses her of 'borderline slander' over claims she got no money in divorce
Kristin Cavallari's ex-husband set out to right the record regarding the former couple's finances after the reality TV star made some bold claims. Cavallari insisted the NFL star never funded her company, Uncommon James, and that she never received any money in the divorce. Cutler insisted Cavallari's claims were "completely false" in an episode of his podcast, "Take it Outside." "Let's think about this logically. 'Not a penny,' OK. Married for, I don't know, seven years or so, three kids," Cutler said. "You can go and see how much I made in the NFL. It's online. You can see the contract from year to year and the total amount at the end of 12 years. So, you go to divorce and each side gets a lawyer, and then you go to court and there's a judge." "In the state of Tennessee, if we would have went to the judge and been like, 'Hey, he's going to keep every single dollar over the past seven years and you're going to get nothing,'" he continued. "There's not a judge in the state of Tennessee that would have signed that. They would be like, 'No, this isn't – this isn't right. This isn't legal. Not happening.' So, there's that. B, she has a lawyer. I have a lawyer. Is her lawyer really going to be like, 'Fine, you get zero dollars. He gets to keep all the money that was made over the seven years.' Absolutely not." Cavallari made the claims about Cutler's involvement in Uncommon James during an episode of her podcast, "Honestly Cavallari: The Headline Tour." "Our revenue is close to $50 million a year, but because I was obviously a WAG – athletes' wives and girlfriends, if you're not familiar – people love to say that everything I have in my life is because of my ex-husband, and that my ex-husband funded Uncommon James," Cavallari shared. "But I am, to this day, 100% owner, and I've never taken any outside funding." "I have never gotten a penny from my ex-husband," she claimed. "I didn't get any money from our divorce, so let's just clear that up." The two married in 2013 and announced their split in 2020. The former couple finalized their divorce in 2022. While addressing Cavallari's claims on his podcast, Cutler referred to Uncommon James as a "marital asset." "I think it's reckless," he said of Cavallari's claims. "I think it's borderline slander to insinuate that there was zero dollars split during the marriage that each side got. It's insanity. It's completely false, completely untrue. It is, it just is. I've got a divorce decree. I've got something that's signed by the judge – it's, like, 67 pages – it says the number breakdown." "I'm not going to get into those exact numbers, but I can guarantee you it's definitely not zero dollars," he added. The football star, who played his last season in the NFL with the Miami Dolphins, claimed Cavallari could "without a doubt" live comfortably with the money from the divorce. A source familiar with the couple's marriage told People magazine that Cutler's response is "a standard gaslighting tactic from a known narcissist." "His answer was manipulated into something completely different than what Kristin was initially saying," the insider added. Fox News Digital reached out to Cavallari's representative for comment.
