Sizzler Steakhouse Launches New Diner Concept Sonic
Think of it as Sizzler but make it super casual. May 24, 2025 Okay so, everybody knows Sizzler. The steakhouse has been around since 1959, literally revolutionising the way we eat steaks. But, they didn't stop there. They've decided to one up themselves by giving birth to a new baby by the name of Sonic Diner, and we're already obsessed. The apps at Sonic Diner Nestled away inside Cairo Festival City, the new concept is basically Sizzler but it casual. Think of it as the diner version of its mother restaurant but with more homey meals that get prepared really, really fast – hence the name Sonic. How Sonic Diner looks like from the outside Although the menu feels very similar to Sizzler's, there are standouts that stops Sonic from living under Sizzler's shadow. Not only does it offer breakfast (think of all the classic dishes), something Sizzler doesn't offer, it also serves fried chicken, pasta and pizza. We're talking an entire menu for each category so you can live your best life. The mains at Sonic Diner We don't know about you, but more restaurants need to give birth tbh.

Knicks have to cash in on their ‘Miracle on Ice' moment — or else
There was a saying from a former Knick, coincidentally the current surging Timberwolf, Julius Randle, who declared last season after beating the lowly Wizards, 'Don't play with your food.' Randle's premise was easy to understand. New York needed to handle the business it was expected to. Devour what's on the plate before it spoils. Advertisement Those words are applicable to Friday's game, but with obvious differences in scale. The opponent isn't the Wizards. It's the defending champs. It isn't a regular-season matchup in January. It's Game 6 of the Eastern Conference semifinals, a potential clincher. In other words, this isn't about finishing off a mac & cheese lunch special at Sizzler. It's a filet mignon on an island where food is otherwise rationed.

Meghan Markle's Half-Brother Rips Into The Duchess Over 'Malarkey Stories' In New Netflix Series
Meghan Markle's Netflix series has been under heavy scrutiny since its release, and her elder half-brother, Thomas Markle Jr., is one of her most vocal critics. In the series, the Duchess showcases her passion for cooking and talks about her humble childhood eating fast food and microwavable meals. However, Thomas Markle Jr. has dismissed his half-sister's comments, claiming Meghan Markle is misrepresenting her past with "malarkey stories." Meghan's half-brother recently criticized the stories she shared about her upbringing in her new Netflix series, "With Love, Meghan," which debuted on Tuesday. The royal described herself in the show as a "latchkey kid" and recalled a humble childhood filled with fast food and TV dinners. Reflecting on her younger years, Meghan said, "It feels like such a different time, but that was so normal with the microwavable kids meals." She shared that her go-to meals came from Pollo Loco, Taco Bell, and Jack In The Box, similar to past comments she made in 2021 about frequenting the $4.99 salad bar at Sizzler. However, in an interview with TalkTV, Thomas Jr. dismissed his half-sister's claims about her upbringing, accusing her of trying too hard to appear relatable. "That's just another one of the malarkey stories she sold to the royal family for sympathy," he said, per the New York Post. "We weren't poor. She didn't have to rub two nickels together at Sizzler's salad bar." The Duchess's half-brother also criticized her treatment of their father, saying, "The entire world knows how she treated her family, especially her father, who gave her everything. That's why nobody's buying it." Thomas Jr., who hasn't spoken to Meghan in over a decade, admitted he attempted to watch her Netflix show but quickly lost interest. "I realized there's something better I could be doing with my time," he said. "Everybody's going to watch the first episode, and it'll be the worst critically acclaimed episode of all time." "Then, five or six minutes into the second, they'll probably commit themselves to a psychiatric ward," he added. Thomas Jr. admitted that watching Meghan's Netflix series left him feeling "sorry and embarrassed for her" for the first time. However, he has no plans to let their father, Thomas Markle Sr., tune in, citing concerns for his health. "I didn't have enough heart medication for him to watch it," he said. "I didn't want him to kick the bucket, so I'd have to go refill the prescription before I let him watch it." Thomas Jr. also called out Meghan's claim that she expresses care by feeding those close to her, saying the Duchess "didn't cook anything for anybody ever growing up." "There was always that little look," he recalled. "The Meghan Markle death stare, like her viper jaw pitches up, and she's about to strike." Hollywood star Mindy Kaling appeared in the second episode of Meghan's Netflix show and joined her to prepare cucumber sandwiches for a children's party while chatting about childhood memories. When Meghan described herself as a "latchkey kid" who frequently enjoyed fast food and TV dinners, Kaling expressed surprise, saying, "I don't think anyone in the world knows that Meghan Markle has eaten Jack in the Box and loves it." Meghan, with a smile, then corrected the actress: "It's so funny you keep saying Meghan Markle; you know I'm Sussex now." The U.S.-based royal explained how significant it is for her to be able to share the Sussex surname with her children. She noted, "You have kids, and you go, 'No, I share my name with my children. I didn't know how meaningful that would be to me, but it just means so much to go; this is our family name, our little family name." In response, Kaling said, "Well, now I know, and I love it." Industry experts claim that the success of the eight-episode show will be a major defining factor for Meghan as it determines if she still has the "Markle sparkle" needed to be a powerful celebrity with influence. "You're only cold until you're hot again, and Hollywood is a town based on temperature, not talent," Doug Eldridge, a branding expert and the founder of Achilles PR, told Fox News. "If the show is a success, this could be the moment of truth." "If the show is a modest success, Meghan will return to relevancy in Tinseltown and the influencer opportunities will multiply," he explained. Eldridge, however, noted the difficulty of Meghan's new venture and the best way for the Duchess of Sussex to maintain relevancy. He said, "The problem with the influencer or reality television category is that it's often more fashion than style. Fashion changes with the season or trend. Style is enduring, personal, and doesn't fall victim to seasonal whims."

Meghan Markle's half-brother slams her childhood portrayal in Netflix show
Meghan Markle's half-brother, Thomas Markle Jr., has publicly disputed claims she made about her childhood in her new Netflix series, "With Love, Meghan." The series, which premiered Tuesday, features the Duchess of Sussex sharing hosting and cooking tips while reflecting on her upbringing. Markle, 43, described herself as a "latchkey kid" who grew up eating fast food and TV tray dinners. She also recalled frequenting budget-friendly restaurants such as Pollo Loco, Taco Bell, and Sizzler. However, Thomas Markle Jr., who has been estranged from Meghan for over a decade, dismissed these claims as "malarkey stories." Speaking to TalkTV, he refuted the idea that their family struggled financially, stating, "We weren't poor. She didn't have to rub two nickels together at Sizzler's salad bar." Markle Jr. also criticized his sister's portrayal of family dynamics, alleging she has misrepresented their upbringing for sympathy. "The entire world knows how she treated her family, especially her father, who gave her everything. That's why nobody's buying it," he said. Despite watching part of the show, he admitted he soon lost interest. "Everybody's going to watch the first episode, and it'll be the worst critically acclaimed episode of all time," he added. The eight-episode Netflix series, produced by Meghan and Prince Harry's Archewell Productions, highlights her passion for cooking, which she calls her "love language." However, Thomas Markle Jr. countered that claim, stating, "She didn't cook anything for anybody ever growing up."
