Food Network star and host of Amazon Prime Video reality TV series dies
Anne Burrell - a celebrity chef on Food Network - has died aged 55. Paramedics rushed to the popular chef's home in Brooklyn, New York City, where they reportedly found Anne unconscious. Doctors were unable to revive the woman, and declared her dead at the scene. Anne had an extensive career in the industry, alongside work on Food Network since Secrets of a Restaurant Chef debuted in 2008. Since then, she presented various other programmes on the channel, available in the UK as well as the US, including The Best Things I Ever Ate. But her big TV breakthrough came in 2010 when, aged 40, Anne and Beau MacMillan first started hosting the brutal Worst Cooks in America, which saw the professionals take contestants through a "culinary boot camp" on their journey to become better chefs. It has since had 28 seasons, many of which can be watched on Amazon Prime Video. Alongside this, other projects - mostly on Food Network - have included Chef Wanted with Anne Burrell, a series which saw the no-nonsense pro put chef candidates through the toughest job interview of their lives for a role at some of the best restaurants across the US. Over the years, the star has won programmes and contests in order to donate money to charity, including Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. She won the fourth installment of the Chopped All-Stars tournament in 2015. In October 2021, Anne married Stuart Claxton after getting engaged the previous year. However, she leaves him behind following her death on Tuesday in Brooklyn. A cause of death has not yet been established.

In 17th year, Rick's Bike Sale surpasses $600K in donations for Dakota County nonprofits
Imagine if nearly every resident of Sunfish Lake went out and bought a new bicycle in the same four-hour window. That's the magic of Rick's Bike Sale. Rick's Bike Sale, which wrapped up its 17th year in Apple Valley on May 10, saw more than 470 donated bikes cleaned up, put back together and rolled off to new homes to the tune of more than $60,000 this year for two Dakota County nonprofit organizations. Since its inception, Rick's Bike Sale has donated nearly $628,000 to DARTS, a West St. Paul organization that helps seniors live more independent lives, and Kids 'n Kinship, a program that matches youth with adult volunteers. 'One of my favorite aspects of the sale is that it really is a win-win-win-win,' said Rick Anderson, namesake of the sale, in a news release. 'Folks gladly donate the bikes and appreciate having more room in their garages. Our crew has fun getting the bikes ready for sale. Someone gets a nice, well-tuned clean bike at a great price. DARTS and Kids 'n Kinship get the money,' Anderson said. 'Having a fundraiser that benefits people from start to finish is pretty remarkable.' Of the 590 bikes donated this year, the slim inventory that did not sell were given to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and Bikes for Africa, according to the release. Anderson and his team will soon begin accepting donations — and volunteer bike mechanics — for the 18th annual sale.
