You might have thought Halloween was over, but this frightening tale says otherwise. In a video posted on Twitter by multiple sources, an unidentified man can be seen doing the unthinkable: sipping soup directly from a public ladle. Like Kate Bernot said on The Takeout, shaming people for doing things that could likely be an innocent mistake is not an internet phenomenon that I particularly enjoy, but this man.

The Creator of the Crack Pie Just Released a New Book and You'll Want to Read It ASAP — Cookbook Review

When I learned legendary baker Christina Tosi was releasing a new cookbook, All About Cake, I snagged a copy as soon as I could (it's out now!). You see, I'm a longtime fan: When I first visited Milk Bar in New York in 2009, my mom and I ordered basically one of everything. On my second visit, I bought my favorite tote bag (a simple blue bag with the classic Momofuku peach), plus a few pork belly baos and a corn cookie, of course.
