Michelin-star chef created a burger for cats — but people are loving it, too: ‘Absolutely delicious'
Who would've ever thought that cat food is actually tasty? A Michelin-starred chef has created a burger made out of the stuff you would usually only serve to your kitty cat — and apparently, it's good. Alice Ostan is a renowned chef and animal lover who worked with London-based cat food brand KatKin to create a cat food burger — yes, you read that correctly. Advertisement The unexpected concoction might have you scratching your head, but based on how it's made, it does sound appetizing. Ostan took cat food mix — which consists of meats usually served to cats — shaped it into a patty form and then coated it in panko breadcrumbs before throwing on a cat food topper. From there, the chef smothered the burger in creamy ricotta, parmesan cheese, a lemon spread and KatKin's smoky bacon jam, according to What's the Jam. Advertisement 3 No one could ever suspect that this burger has cat food in it. Jam Press To look like the real carnivore deal, the chef served the kitty cat burger on a ciabatta bun with lettuce, sun-dried tomatoes, cucumber and a drizzle of hot honey. Some lucky folks got a chance to try this cat-inspired patty — and they couldn't stop raving about it. Many said if they blind-taste tested it, they would've never 'guess[ed] this burger was made from cat food.' Advertisement 3 The brand prides itself on making cat food using real meat. Jam Press 'It tastes just like the meat I buy for myself,' raved another fan. 'Absolutely delicious,' said someone else. It's unknown at this time if this cat burger will ever make it onto a restaurant menu for the masses; however, there are several restaurants around Manhattan where customers can snag a delicious off-menu meat burger. Advertisement An upscale West Chelsea restaurant and members' club, the Crane Club, offers 12 burgers each night that are only served for half an hour from 5:30 to 6 p.m. — no substitutions allowed. 3 Hungry customers who got a chance to try this burger raved about it. Jam Press Caviar Russe is a fancy Midtown seafood restaurant that also happens to serve a tasty burger. 'My mom expressed she was really craving a burger to my dad, and not even to the server directly,' Caroline Maggs, 27, said. 'The captain, and now good friend, John, must have overheard us because about 25 minutes later, there was a small off-menu burger on a plate in front of her. She said it was one of the tastiest things she has ever devoured.' Society Cafe, a restaurant inside the Walker Hotel in Greenwich Village, is another spot with exclusive burgers. The joint only makes four to six standout burgers each night. 'It's truly a labor of love,' Executive Chef Nicholas McCann said. 'It's not something we can produce in larger numbers without compromising the quality.'

I'm a Michelin-trained chef with 11 Guinness World Records — 3 kitchen knives I recommend for the at-home cook
Wallace Wong, a Michelin-trained chef, content creator and 11-time Guinness World Record holder for speed slicing, shares his top kitchen essentials. A good chef's knife is an indispensable tool in any kitchen. A high-quality knife can tackle any sort of culinary task, from chopping herbs and dicing onions to mincing garlic and cutting proteins. A sharp knife not only speeds up meal prep, but it also makes cooking more enjoyable. Unless you're a professional chef, selecting the right knife can feel daunting.

Helen Mirren Doesn't Think A Woman Should Be Cast As The Next James Bond: ‘It Just Doesn't Work'
Bond, Jane Bond? As the search for the new James Bond continues, Helen Mirren doesn't think an actress should be in the running. 'I'm such a feminist, but James Bond has to be a guy,' Mirren, who plays a retired spy in The Thursday Murder Club opposite four-time Bond star Pierce Brosnan, 72, told Saga magazine on August 18. 'You can't have a woman. It just doesn't work,' she continued. 'James Bond has to be James Bond, otherwise it becomes something else.' The actress, 80, told the magazine that her character in the new Netflix show is 'more realistic' than 007. 'Women have always been a major and incredibly important part of the Secret Service, they always have been. And very brave,' Mirren told The Standard in March, adding that the Bond franchise 'is drenched and born out of profound sexism.' 'If you hear about what women did in the French Resistance, they're amazingly, unbelievably courageous,' the MobLand star explained. 'So I would tell real stories about extraordinary women who've worked in that world.' The role remains highly sought-after among male actors, with Tom Holland, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Jacob Elordi all rumored to be potential replacements for Daniel Craig. Whoever lands the gig, 'I wish them well,' Brosnan — who played the character in 1995's Goldeneye, 1997's Tomorrow Never Dies, 1999's The World Is Not Enough and 2002's Die Another Day — told Saga. 'I'm so excited to see the next man come on the stage and to see a whole new exuberance and life for this character,' he said. 'And I'm just a member of the audience now, sitting back, saying: 'Show us what you're going to do.'' Solve the daily Crossword
