Bovensiepen and Zagato Reveal Striking 611 HP Gran Turismo at Lake Como
Summary
Bavaria meets Milan in the debut of theBovensiepenZagato, a limited-production grand tourer, based on the BMW M4, unveiled at this year's Fuori Concorso on Lake Como. The first model from the newly launched Bovensiepen brand, the Zagato pairs Italian coachbuilding with Bavarian engineering, creating what CEO Andreas Bovensiepen calls 'Fine Driving' in its purest form.
The car features a 3L inline-six engine producing 611 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque, launching from 0 to 62 mph in just 3.3 seconds and reaching a top speed over 186 mph. Built on a lightweight carbon fiber body and outfitted with adaptive Bilstein dampers and forged 20-inch wheels, the Zagato combines performance with comfort in three selectable driving modes. A titanium Akrapovič exhaust delivers a sound worthy of its bold design.
Zagato's design DNA is evident in the signature 'double bubble' roof, frameless windows and precise, flowing lines. Inside, buyers can personalize nearly every surface, including optional Lavalina leather upholstery and CNC-milled aluminum shift paddles. Each car requires over 250 hours to build, with more than 400 bespoke components crafted in Buchloe.
At the time of writing, specifics on availability and price have not yet been revealed, however, they are expected to be shared by the end of 2025, with deliveries expected to take place in Q2 of 2026.

D.C.'s Sensational Italian Pizzeria Is Coming to Union Market
Naples native Giulio Adriani, the award-winning pizzaiolo behind Slice & Pie and the adjacent Lucy Bar off the U Street NW corridor since 2022, will plant a flag inside Union Market this summer (1309 5th Street NE). Scheduled to arrive the second week of July, Slice & Pie's second location will sit alongside the new Taste of Lucy, an abbreviated version of its sibling cocktail bar. He'll roll out the same menu of Detroit- and New York-style pies and slices that prompted Italian organization 50 Top Pizza to crown Slice & Pie America's no. 2 slice shop last year, making a huge jump from no. 41 in 2023. The rest of Adriani's menu at the new restaurant will include other dishes that the original is known for. This includes appetizers (garlic knots), sandwiches (meatballs, prosciutto), and Italian desserts (cannoli and tiramisu). The Roman Catholic pizzaiolo respects the first U.S.-born pontiff, Pope Leo XIV, in a holistic way and has no interest in making money off the 'pope presence.' He's adamant he won't name a pie after the pope. 'The fact that he's American, it's a big thing for the nation, it's a good marketing tool, but I'd rather keep the saintliness of the figure intact and not try to benefit from it,' says Adriani. (He also doesn't do deep-dish Chicago pies, where the pope is from.) And then, as for the new cocktail bar, Taste of Lucy will offer a condensed version of the menu from the original. There will be five cocktails and about four to six wines by the glass, as well as Neapolitan pizzas, a different weekly pasta dish, and appetizers. A daily happy hour menu (5 p.m. to 7 p.m.) is in the works. Adriani's working on a pair of Union Market-specific cocktails. The first is a yet-to-be-named riff on a Paper Plane with two types of tequila, amaro meletti, Aperol, and lemon juice. The other one will be a clarified rum punch, 'something fresh, easy to drink,' he says. A wall will separate the 800-square-foot space, with pink neon-lit Slice & Pie on the left and Taste of Lucy to the right. While Slice & Pie won't offer seating, customers will have full view of the kitchen to watch the dough-flipping process. Customers can enjoy slices in Union Market's common area, unless they sit in one of the roughly 20 seats for drinks at Taste of Lucy's booths and bar. Adriani had originally planned to open Slice & Pie's second location at the Parks at Walter Reed (1155 Dahlia Street NW). But life is random, and negotiations between Adriani and Union Market landlord Edens that puttered out during the pandemic resumed once Parachute Pizza left the food hall at the end of 2024. 'Union Market has always been on my list,' says Adriani. 'I am a New Yorker, so I love Chelsea Market, and I think also communal space has always been something that's intrigued me, so it's something very exciting.' However, Slice & Pie's Water Reed location is still under construction. Adriani plans on opening this third restaurant around Labor Day. Sign up for our newsletter.

More Americans turn to home cooking as economic concerns weigh
More Americans are cooking at home as growing economic concerns are forcing households to cut back, according to Campbell's CEO Mick Beekhuizen. Beekhuizen told analysts during the company's third-quarter earnings call on Monday that consumer sentiment continued to soften throughout the quarter, with shoppers becoming even more deliberate about how they were spending money on food. "A key outcome is a growing preference for home-cooked meals, leading to the highest levels of meals prepared at home since early 2020," Beekhuizen said. Buy Now, Pay Later Usage For Groceries Nearly Doubles As Consumers Struggle With Food Costs He also noted that consumers are also "favoring ingredients that help stretch tighter food budgets." The trend helped boost the company's meals and beverages business, especially its line of condensed cooking soups, broth and Italian sauces. However, shoppers were increasingly intentional about their discretionary snack purchases, which created additional headwinds in its snacking categories. Read On The Fox Business App From 2020 to 2024, the all-food consumer price index rose 23.6%, outpacing the entire index, which grew 21.2% over the same period. Though food price growth slowed in 2023 and 2024 because wholesale food prices and these other inflationary factors eased across industries, some experts fear President Donald Trump's tariffs could increase food prices again. Shake Shack Jumps Into Loyalty Game With $1 Sodas Amid Economic Uncertainty While inflation remains consumers' top concern, tariffs have quickly risen to second place, according to consulting firm McKinsey, which conducted a survey in May to understand how tariffs are shaping consumer concerns and behaviors. Nearly 50% of U.S. consumers surveyed reported rising prices as their top concern, followed by tariff policies at 29%, according to the report. Despite the ongoing trade talks, the uncertainty and volatility that still persists in the market are already forcing most of the survey respondents to "explore a range of personal financial behaviors to protect their pocketbooks," the firm said. If they haven't done so already, they plan to soon, even if the tariffs' effects have yet to hit store shelves, according to article source: More Americans turn to home cooking as economic concerns weigh Error in retrieving data Sign in to access your portfolio Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data

Sunderland make Le Fee move permanent for record fee
Enzo Le Fee (right) has joined Sunderland on a permanent deal from Roma (Alberto PIZZOLI) Sunderland have signed Enzo Le Fee from Roma for a reported club record fee after the French midfielder helped the Black Cats gain promotion back to the Premier League. The 25-year-old arrived at the Stadium of Light on a six-month loan in January and was a key player as Sunderland won the Championship play-offs after finishing fourth in the table. Advertisement Le Fee has penned a four-year deal and will cost a reported £19.3million ($26 million) after a clause in his loan deal was activated once Sunderland sealed promotion. "I said before the play-off final that my heart was in Sunderland - I wanted to stay and this made it the most important game of my life. Together, we did it," Le Fee told the club website. "From the moment I arrived, I have enjoyed my football, my team-mates and our supporters. We shared an incredible experience and now we get to take the next step." Le Fee had previously worked with Sunderland boss Regis Le Bris at Lorient before joining Rennes and a big money move to Roma less than 12 months ago. However, he made just 10 appearances for the Italian giants before being loaned out. kca/bsp
