Mayor Boesen, Billy Weathers share their favorite underrated dishes
We asked some of Des Moines' movers and shakers for their current favorite underrated dish around town.
🍕 Mayor Connie Boesen: " I have a special place in my heart for classic Italian from Chuck's Pizza. Chuck's has that old Des Moines charm that makes me feel at home every time I open the door."
😋 Morgan Chicchelly of Des Moines Girl: "The crispy rice wraps from Lucky Lotus. I can never get enough of those."
🥘 Billy Weathers, a local hip-hop artist and owner of The Contrary: "Spices of Nepal is probably my guilty pleasure. I love that place. When I go there and get their butter chicken, it's religious for me."
🍜 Paul Rottenberg of Orchestrate: "I have been eating a fair amount of Vietnamese lately — I've been eating vermicelli bowls all over the place. So that's been my item of the winter."

"I got to see Gigi and Bradley—BC, Big Coop—we were all in the suite having a blast." And this April, there was another star-studded hangout at Gigi's 30th birthday, with Anne Hathaway, Tan France, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Martha Hunt and the Guest in Residence founder's sister gathering alongside Bradley to celebrate the milestone. Still, Gigi—who shares 4-year-old daughter Khai with ex Zayn Malik—does prefer to keep her romance with Bradley as low-key as possible. As she explained in a March interview with Vogue, "You want to give yourself a normal experience of dating and even for my friends who aren't public figures, that's hard." "Then there's another added layer of privacy and security," continued Gigi, who met Bradley at a backyard birthday party for a mutual friend's kid. "You want to believe that people are going to have your back and not call TMZ or go on Deuxmoi or whatever, but you just don't know." For more on their relationship, keep reading.

Khaby Lame: World's Biggest TikTok Star Leaves U.S. After Being Detained By ICE
Khaby Lame, the world's most followed TikTok star, has left the U.S. voluntarily after he was briefly detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement for overstaying the terms of his visa, according to reports. The Associated Press reports that Lame, whose real name is Seringe Khabane Lame, was detained on June 6 at the Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas but was permitted to leave the country without a deportation order. Lame reportedly arrived in the U.S. on April 30, a few days before he attended the Met Gala in New York City.

'Lame entered the United States April 30 and overstayed the terms of his visa.' Officials said that Lame 'has since departed the U.S.' He had been granted a voluntary departure, which saw him avoid a deportation order. Lame, who has more than 162M followers on TikTok, is a Senegalese-Italian TikToker and Unicef goodwill ambassador and is best known for his deadpan reactions to other videos. He first made a name for himself at the end of the pandemic, where his silent TikTok posts saw him make fun of life-hack videos, kicking off with a short film of him peeling a banana with his hands. On Monday morning (June 9), the influencer shared a photo of himself in São Paulo, Brazil. Lame's run-in with ICE comes after President Trump and his administration called for the National Guard to be deployed against anti-ICE protests on the streets of L.A. this week. Nearly 5,000 troops have since descended on the city. California Governor Gavin Newsom made a speech on Wednesday condemning the move where he criticized the 'brazen abuse of power by a sitting president' which he said, 'inflamed a combustible situation, putting our people, our officers and even our National Guard at risk.'

TikTok's biggest star was detained by ICE, with help from another influencer
Khaby Lame, one of the world's top TikTok creators, was recently detained by U.S. immigration officials in Las Vegas and has since left the country, The New York Times reports. According to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Lame, an Italian-Senegalese influencer known for his silent, deadpan reactions to viral clips, overstayed the terms of his visa after arriving in April. He was reportedly granted voluntary departure and is now abroad. The situation grabbed headlines after a teenage influencer, Bo Loudon, boasted on X that he flagged Lame's immigration status to authorities. Loudon, who often posts political content, said he reached out to contacts to report it. Lame, 25, has built a massive global following — and a string of lucrative brand deals — after he reportedly lost his job during the pandemic. In addition to partnering with big names like Hugo Boss, he has also appeared — very briefly — in a Hollywood movie, and starred in a three-part travel series about his time in the U.S. He hasn't publicly addressed the incident as of this writing.
