    The Cupcake Will Never Die: Crumbs Expands to Calabasas
    This last Saturday, Crumbs Bake Shop opened their doors on yet another location, this time in the West Valley city of Calabasas. And in the tradition of their grand openings, they'll celebrate by giving 1,000 cupcakes away next Saturday beginning at 10 a.m. That's one per person, first come, first serve.

    The Return of the Guinness Cupcake
    No one really likes green beer or Shamrock Shakes. And corned beef and cabbage is iffy at best.

    Gordon Ramsay -- Get The F@$* Out of Here!
    Maybe he should have gone into the taco business? Famed British hothead & restaurateur Gordon Ramsay is selling his WeHo outpost Gordon Ramsay at The London West Hollywood (maybe the name was a problem?), thanks to slow business and Ramsay's own financial troubles. Despite fairly positive reviews and a good location, Ramsay just couldn't seem to overcome the irony of his absence from a "celeb chef!!"-driven establishment. Or maybe it was...the foie gras? (I...
