NY Strip Steak could soon be called the TX Strip
All steak lovers, or New York Strip lovers, could soon face the small challenge of no longer calling it that but its new name: the Texas Strip.
Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick has mentioned he will change the name of the popular steak cut.
While proposing the renaming of the steak cut is well within their rights, a New York steakhouse is planning on suing the state of Texas for $1 million. According to the Austin Eater, the steakhouse alleges that the rebranding of the New York strip 'infringes upon New York's cultural heritage and poses economic harm to businesses that rely on the recognition and popularity of the New York strip steak.'
National Mario Day!
March 10 is an exciting day for all Mario Bros. lovers and fanatics. The Italian plumber, once known as a carpenter named Jumpman, continues to be a top favorite in the video game world. He, his brother Luigi, and the rest of the Mario Bros. clan continue to provide hours of fun for people worldwide.
You can celebrate by using the hashtag #NationalMarioDay on your pictures or posts on all social media platforms!

Beloved Oregon Restaurant Chain, Bugatti's, Closes Its Last Location
Bugatti's Italian restaurant has developed a loyal following over the years. Its founder is one of the wealthiest people in Oregon, a former newspaper magnate. But now its last location has closed its doors after more than two decades in business. "Bugatti's Oregon City officially closed Sunday after 23 years," wrote Oregon Live on June 9. The restaurant chain's closure marked the end of its last location in the state, the site reported, saying it was a "local Italian chain owned by one of Oregon's wealthiest people." The final restaurant was in the Portland area. The restaurant announced it was closing in a Facebook post on June 5. "To our much-loved community of Oregon City: It is with sad hearts we announce Bugatti's is closing. The last day will be 6.8.2025," the chain wrote. "The reasons and struggles are many. We will be focusing on a busy last week and taking care of staff as best we can. We truly appreciate your patronage and support over the many years and consider our tenure a triumph. Thank you, Oregon City!!" On June 8, the restaurant posted on Facebook, "What a glorious send off for Bugatti's. All our guests came out in droves, our wonderful staff worked their tails off, and we were able to say goodbye to each other. What an incredible team. These are a talented bunch and any company would be lucky to have them. Lots of love to all." In 2024, the restaurant chain closed its other location, the original one. Willamette Week described that restaurant as a "stalwart of West Linn's dining scene for more than 30 years," and reported that the chain was owned by "industrialist Robert Pamplin Jr." The news site noted then that Pamplin was "better known for his ownership of Ross Island Sand & Gravel and for Pamplin Communications, which until earlier this year owned the Portland Tribune and 24 other Oregon newspapers." Customers declared their sadness on the restaurant's Facebook page. "Going to miss you so much Bugatti's you've been my family's special go-to restaurant my entire life. Thank you for so many amazing memories," wrote one. "This feels like waking up to family member passed away. Will definitely miss Bugatti's," wrote another person. A man wrote, "We wish all the employees the best moving forward. You were our go to spot for business lunches and you never disappointed. Our company execs really enjoyed coming to your restaurant. We also had some great date nights before heading to the movies. You will be missed."Beloved Oregon Restaurant Chain, Bugatti's, Closes Its Last Location first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 10, 2025

The company is specialized in moulding and surface treatments to safeguard and improve vision in multiple application fields including sun lenses for eyewear, visors and other protective components for lighting, and the automotive and motorcycle industries. 'We have appreciated the excellence of Lenti's products for many years, and we are very proud to see it now joining Kering Eyewear, providing an additional area of expertise to our platform of best-in-class manufacturing skills, facilities, and, more than anything else, talents,' said Roberto Vedovotto, founder, president and chief executive officer of Kering Eyewear.

The deal follows the partnership inked last month between Kering Eyewear and Google for the development of AI-powered glasses with Android XR, as reported. Also, in April, Kering Eyewear inked an agreement to acquire Italian eyewear manufacturers Visard and Mistral.

It has grown to produce and distribute collections for 14 brands, including Gucci, Cartier, Saint Laurent, Bottega Veneta, Balenciaga, Chloé, Alexander McQueen, Montblanc, Dunhill, Alaïa and Puma. It also owns the Lindberg, Maui Jim and Zeal Optics brands. In 2024, Kering Eyewear reached revenues of 1.6 billion euros, a 6 percent increase on 2023 on a comparable basis. It reported recurring operating income of 277 million euros, and a margin of 17.5 percent on sales. Publicly listed on the Italian Stock Exchange, Safilo Group's portfolio encompasses home brands — Carrera, Polaroid, Smith, Blenders, Privé Revaux and Seventh Street, as well as the perpetual license Eyewear by David Beckham, and licenses for brands ranging from Etro and Isabel Marant to Marc Jacobs, Missoni, Moschino and Tommy Hilfiger, among others. In midmorning trading following the news of the sale, Safilo shares were up 3.1 percent at 93 euro cents. In the three months ended March 31, Safilo registered a 3.1 percent increase in sales to 285.8 million euros, compared to 277.2 million euros in the same period last year.

This Mountaintop Home in Switzerland Is a Modern Take on a Classic Alpine Chalet
You don't need a massive plot of land or over-the-top design to make a powerful statement in real estate—especially not in the Swiss Alps. This boxy, three-story home and its detached carport cut striking figures among the dense greenery of the Alpine landscape during the summer and the glimmering white snow during winter. The dark-stained larch wood siding will only get darker over time through exposure to the elements, while the steep pitch of the solar-equipped standing seam metal roof helps keep snow from piling up and wood slats over some windows offer privacy while maintaining the views from inside. More from Robb Report Art Dealer Barbara Gladstone's Elegant Manhattan Row House Lists for $12 Million A Carefully Reimagined Midcentury Oasis in the Pacific Palisades Lists for $25 Million This $24 Million Boston Home Doubles as an Art Gallery Designed by the firm Montalba Architects as a modern homage to a classic architectural trope, the home is built into the hillside and angled to take in the best view of the 10,000-foot-tall Grand Muveran. Drawing inspiration from the shape of traditional chalets, the residence has been rethought with an open floor plan, vast picture windows, and clean-lined midcentury-inspired furnishings. Constructed over just 10 months, Montalba worked with a local builder to complete the property. All of the millwork, including the angular staircase, was also done in collaboration with local carpenters and cabinet makers. Many of the furnishings came from Switzerland as well, with additional pieces curated from throughout Europe and California. RELATED: A London-Based Designer Brought Italian Style to This Pint-Sized Apartment in the Swiss Alps It's a style of sourcing that mirrors the other work of Montalba, an international firm with offices in Los Angeles, New York, and Lausanne. The company was founded back in 2004 by the Swiss-American architect David Montalba, and it draws on Swiss precision and California Modernism to create properties that evoke both styles. Modest in size at just 2,600 square feet, the Alpine abode takes advantage of lighter woods and neutral tones that contrast with the dark, moodier exterior. The main living spaces are on the middle floor and include a living room with a Nero Marquina marble fireplace and a cozy Ligne Roset sofa and armchairs. In the dining area, the tables is from Moyard, and the light-filled kitchen opens to a small patio on the home's east side. The top floor is largely for sleeping. The primary suite has a covered balcony and private bath, and two guest rooms share an additional bathroom with a shower sheathed in the same marble used on the downstairs fireplace. The lowest level, which is embedded into the mountainside, has a studio space with a separate entrance, as well as a small sauna and storage of Robb Report The 10 Priciest Neighborhoods in America (And How They Got to Be That Way) In Pictures: Most Expensive Properties Click here to read the full article.
