TIVERTON – This past fall, Food Network crews craving a seafood feast were back in Tiverton.

Now, celebrity host and restaurateur Guy Fieri’s latest stop at Evelyn’s Drive In will make its small screen debut next week.

The Mayor of Flavortown first journeyed to the Tiverton seafood spot over 15 years ago, spotlighting Evelyn’s in a Season 2 episode of his popular TV series “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.”

Fare at the waterfront summer destination was deemed so memorable, it warranted the Food Network star’s return visit this past September for his spinoff series “Triple D Nation,” in which Fieri circles back to some of his favorite restaurants previously featured on “Diners, Drive -Ins and Dives.”

Women in their 50s can burn belly fat by avoiding a dieting trend that is ‘never healthy’

mtech

Menopause is a transition period in a woman’s life when her period ceases, causing a significant metabolic upheaval.

As healthy aging and menopause garner more and more interest in science, researchers are uncovering new ways to approach weight loss in your 50s. Their findings indicate that dieting trends like undereating may not be a sustainable solution.

Fluctuations in hormones can have a significant impact on the way the body stores fat during menopause, resulting in a middle-aged spread that affects many women.

Scientific advances have found certain food groups like carbohydrates essential for helping women navigate hormonal shifts during menopause.

Cutting out carbohydrates could hinder efforts to lose weight

GETTY

Ekam Grewal, PT & Director of Body by Ekam, warns GB News readers that cutting out entire food groups is ill-advised for menopausal women.

“It’s never healthy or sustainable to cut out food groups such as carbohydrates for a long period of time,” explained the expert.

The reasons for this are wide-ranging. Firstly, bone health declines around menopause due to a fall of estrogen, and carbohydrates are essential for the metabolism of bones.

The British Menopause Society adds: “It’s essential that menopausal women consume carbohydrates, especially while increasing physical activity

“This elderly couple told me they ate dinner on their wedding night at Fehn’s in Fountain Square (which was open 1948-1958). They were staying in the Read House and had walked up the hill for dinner. For their 60th anniversary they wanted to ate at Fehn’s again, so they came to Dayton for their anniversary,” she recalls.

Restaurants hold places of nostalgic importance for anniversaries, birthdays, weddings, graduations, promotions and other life celebrations. They are warm memories kept alive through family and online reminiscences, along with requests for favorite recipes from beloved dining spots.

Memphis restaurant StickEM featured on Food Network

mtech

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A Memphis restaurant will be spotlighted on a popular Food Network show Friday night.

StickEM restaurant on Madison Avenue will be featured on Guy Fieri’s “Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives.” Fieri made a trip to taste StickEM’s popular kabobs.

Friday morning, owner Ermyias Shiberou was hard at work preparing for a full house. Tables were empty, but at 8 pm Friday, they’ll be filled for a watch party.

“I kept getting emails that I thought were fake but I finally responded and went from there,” Shiberou said.

This comes a week after Memphis soul food queen BJ Tamayo and her restaurant Alcenia made their second appearance on the show. Tamayo also appeared on Food Network’s “Chopped.”

“It was kind of nice to be acknowledged for something I love doing and it was a good opportunity to represent me, my family, and the city,” Shiberou said.

It’s not easy to maintain a restaurant, especially for nearly a decade. Just last week Memphis culinary legend and “Chopped” champion Chef Tam announced his Memphis restaurant closure.

“Not having revenue, not having staffing, closed for bad weather,” Shiberou said. “And we’re still here.”
