Famous Food

Bun B says there is no comparison between Atlanta and Houston when it comes to fine dining ... the UGK legend thinks "The A" doesn't know the difference between a restaurant and a club!

The veteran MC admitted he lived in both ATL and HTX while ranking the two cities on the "Honey Drip Network & Aristotle" podcast ... he gives the nod to ATL overall -- but not when it comes to food.

Bun said ATL food joints don't put any elbow grease into their soul food, and they focus more on giving patrons an ambient experience ... but smoke and mirrors with tableside entertainment spectacles don't mean the food will taste great.

The company responsible for providing thousands of meals to the athletes in Paris' Olympic Village is addressing claims they served wormy fish, telling TMZ Sports the claim's bull****!

If you missed it, Adam Peaty, a British swimmer, talking to a newspaper, unloaded on the food selection and quality of the grub, even saying he knew of fellow athletes who claimed they found "worms in the fish."

No photo evidence was provided ... and when we reached out to the French catering company Sodexo Live! about the serious allegations, they went on the offensive.

Kanye West gave the gift of electricity to his longtime manager John Monopoly -- in the form of a brand spankin' new Tesla Cybertruck that left him speechless!!!

Ye and Bianca Censori were among the guests of honor last night at Giorgio Baldi's in Bev. Hills -- and of course, she popped out and showed everyone her goodies through a sheer bodysuit.

John's been rolling with Ye since his career started in the "I'm Good/College Dropout" era. Ye gave the party the ultimate mic-drop the moment he handed John the keycard that gives him access to his new tech toy.

Bianca Censori reigns supreme in the world of risqué fashion -- but she took things to the next level with her latest look by completely freeing the nipple while out to dinner.

The Aussie model made a wildly bold statement as she and hubby Ye exited his Cybertruck Thursday ... wearing a sheer nude bodysuit that left absolutely nothing to the imagination, which made it look like she was walking into L.A.’s Giorgio Baldi completely unclothed.

The plunging bodysuit seemed almost unnecessary ... and even by Bianca's bold standards, this look was off the charts scandalous with her tatas fully on display for all to see.

The Olympic Village is a disaster this go-around ... but, surfing competitors aren't feeling the stress -- 'cause they're 9,000 miles away living it up on what they're calling a party boat!

Photos and videos from various surf athletes are flooding social media ... and, while their fellow Olympians complain of vegan-only diets and cardboard beds in Paris -- the surfers are chilling on a luxury cruise off the Tahitian coast in between events.

Check it out ... Paris athletes say they got five people to a bathroom in rooms without air conditioning -- but those on the Aranui 5 cruise ship 45 minutes from the surf in Tahiti are stretching out in private rooms with the sea breeze floating in through sliding glass doors.

Former "Top Chef" finalist Shirley Chung says she was diagnosed with tongue cancer after suffering serious dental issues.

Chung posted a message on Instagram detailing her painful journey that began with her biting her tongue and shattering her tooth, which had to be replaced with an implant.

She said at first she thought her ailments were due to her teeth grinding, but, by May, she had ulcers in her mouth and her oral surgeon found a tumor under her tongue. This turned out to be stage 4 cancer that had spread to her lymph nodes.

Ya gotta hand it to Haliey Welch ... the Internet's "Hawk Tuah" girl keeps spitting up new ideas to build a merchandising empire, attaching her catchphrase to all sorts of products and, umm ... services.

According to new trademark filings filed by Haliey's company, and obtained by TMZ, the budding entrepreneur's eyeing a couple of new business ventures -- including a sports betting service, which she notably dubs, "Bet on That Thang."

It appears the betting service will also extend to other types of entertainment services and casino gaming. Haliey hasn't really shown herself to be much of a gambler on social media ... but she'd be wise to get some skin in the gaming/wagering industry.

Cardi B is NOT a fan of some new flavored chicken wings at Popeyes ... but the restaurant is welcoming her poor review, and encouraging her to taste other flavors.

Here's the deal ... Cardi was working late in the studio in New York when she posted a video with some Popeyes chicken wings, rating them a 2 out of 10 and bashing the taste.

Cardi says she's trying the new honey lemon pepper wings ... blasting Popeyes for "fumbling" the flavor, which she says tastes like Sprite.

This baloney has a first name, and it's C-R-A-S-H ... because an Oscar Meyer Wienermobile got into a wreck in Chicago, and ended up on its side!!!

The Wienermobile was driving down I-294 Monday morning when it crashed into a Hyundai sedan and rolled over on the Tri-State Tollway ... according to the Illinois State Police.

Fortunately, none of the Hotdoggers inside the Wienermobile were injured ... ditto for the driver of the other car involved.

Kanye West and Bianca Censori are dressed for the hot summer weather ... 'cause she settled on a tiny metallic bikini covering just the bare minimum of her boobs!

The rapper and his wife hit up Bludso's BBQ in Los Angeles Saturday ... and, ya gotta check out the pics 'cause BC's top's putting in some hard work to contain her chest.

Bianca's bikini's really only covering her nipples, quite frankly ... and, her spandex short bottoms ain't hiding much downstairs either.

The competitive eating world was rocked for the second time in as many months -- this time with an alleged cheating controversy involving Nick Wehry -- with star eater Geoff Esper telling TMZ Sports something needs to be done!

Earlier this week, the NY Post reported Wehry, hubby of the 10-time mustard belt champion Miki Sudo, was accused of adding a plate to his final tally at the 2024 Nathan's Hot Dog Eating contest on the Fourth of July.

At the time, NW denied the allegations, saying he "stole nothing."

It's National French Fry Day y'all, so what better way to celebrate than with Hollywood's hottest fry lovers?! Check out our gallery and chow down with sizzlin' stars like Karol G, Gigi Hadid, J Balvin and lots more ... There's plenty to go around🍟!

Kendrick Lamar's "Not Like Us" video brought big business to his hometown fast-food spot and its owner says the Compton rapper has his pick of the menu -- for life!!!

TMZ Hip Hop spoke with Spiro Vovos, owner of Tam's Burgers this week and he tells us the first few days following the premiere of "Not Like Us" on July 4 were exciting, to say the least.

Kendrick and Mustard shot several scenes in front and inside the Compton Tam's ... Spiro says the euphoria has died down a bit but their managers tallied upwards of 40% increases at one point!!!

Beastie Boys are accusing Chili's of committing the ultimate party foul on their legacy ... using one of their songs without permission -- and it happens to be their classic hit "Sabotage" at that!!!

According to court docs obtained by TMZ Hip Hop ... surviving Beastie Boys members Michael Diamond, Adam Horovitz and the late member Adam "MCA" Yauch's widow claim Brinker, the parent company of Chili's, jacked the band's iconic, 1994 music video for a commercial.

The lawsuit alleges Chili's ran an ad on social media in November 2022, synchronizing the famous track and styling it after the Spike Jonze-directed video. The video featured three characters wearing the same conspicuous '70s-style disguises as the Beasties ... where they comically rob a Chili's restaurant of its secret ingredients.

Jose Cuervo is not a friend of a Georgia couple who engaged in some gross margarita shenanigans ... because they've both been busted.

The man -- who tried funneling a drink down the woman's ass -- has been ID'd as Joe Boyett. He, along with Mary Sweat, were arrested for misdemeanor public indecency ... after video of their hijinks went viral.

As if their clowning wasn't bad enough, Mary triggered the arrest after she went to cops and complained someone had leaked the video and it was spreading like wildfire on social media. Up to that point, police were in the dark, but once they saw the video the couple got arrested.

2:14 PM PT -- Wehry is maintaining his innocence ... but is now asking MLE to adjust his score back to 46.75 dogs over the fact he touched an opponent's plates, which "gives the appearance or possibility of impropriety," he told the Post.

Competitive eater Nick Wehry -- husband of women's champ Miki Sudo -- is facing bombshell allegations stemming from this year's hot dog contest ... being accused of cheating to increase his end result.

This year's fourth-place finisher was initially handed a score of 46.75 tube steaks eaten at Thursday's Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest at Coney Island ... but after a recount, his total was changed to 51.75.

As we previously reported, Patrick Bertoletti won the Joey Chestnut-less outing after downing 58 weenies.
