McDonald's introduces sweet, spicy summer menu items
The fast-food giant says it has been serving up the 'GOAT breakfast sandwich' for 50 years, and starting July 8, a new spicy variation of the Egg McMuffin will be available at participating restaurants for a limited time.
'This limited-time glow-up includes everything you already love about the iconic Egg McMuffin sandwich—melty cheese, a freshly cracked egg (now sourced 100% cage-free in the U.S.), Canadian bacon and a perfectly toasted and buttered English Muffin—plus a fiery, delicious twist: a shot of McDonald's signature Spicy Pepper Sauce,' McDonald's said in its latest 'USA Menu Spotter.'
This is not the only new item the company is rolling out.
On Monday, McDonald's quietly released a new sweet treat called the Blueberry & Crème Pie.
The dessert is served warm in a sleeve and made its appearance in restaurants nationwide just in time for Independence Day.
'So, whether you're going on a road trip, planning a special backyard bbq, or just craving a little pick-me-up to sweeten any afternoon, grab a Blueberry & Crème Pie (or a few) this summer,' McDonald's said.

McDonald's has not said how long the menu items will be served, but said the Spicy McMuffin 'won't last forever,' and the new pie variation will be around 'while supplies last.'
Last month, McDonald's announced its beloved Snack Wrap, which was discontinued nationwide about nine years ago, will reappear on the fast-food giant's menus starting July 10.
The snack wrap will be a permanent offering 'as long as you keep enjoying it at McDonald's,' the company said.

Oasis' Manchester homecoming has locals fearing fan behavior — and they want a dress code
Fearful residents are demanding a 'dress code' and a 'buffer zone' as 340,000 Oasis fans are due to flood their streets ahead of five concerts later this month. Worried locals living near Heaton Park, Manchester, says they are concerned about nudity, drunken behavior and people peeing in their gardens during the sell-out gigs. Advertisement The park's neighbors say they've even been given temporary fencing to place in front of the houses to defend themselves from hoards of concert-goers. 13 Worried locals living near the concert say they're concerned about nudity and drunken behavior. Getty Images The five Oasis concerts – the first time the band will have played in their home city since 2009 – will come just a week after thousands of music fans gather for the annual Parklife festival at the 600 acre park. Residents are concerned about drunken Oasis fans wearing 'skimpy' outfits, breaking into their gardens, going to the toilet in their driveways as well as problems with parking. Advertisement Mom of four Nosheen Usman, 46, has lived on Sheepfoot Lane, opposite the park's south entrance, for 35 years. She says she thinks the local council should impose a dress code on revelers, with previous 'Parklife' attendees walking past her home wearing 'literally nothing'. 13 Aerial view of houses near Heaton Park, Manchester, UK. William Lailey Nosheen said: 'Two years ago, I don't know what the theme was, but they were literally wearing nothing. Advertisement 'My kids were 11, 12 years old, and we had to tell them not to go outside. 'They were coming inside our driveway, they were taking pictures. 'The whole street has kids, young girls, boys, and especially when they're drunk at night time half of them walk without shoes, running on the road, screaming, singing, doing whatever. 13 Mom of four Nosheen Usman has lived on Sheepfoot Lane, opposite the park's south entrance, for 35 years. William Lailey Advertisement 'One of the girls tops broke while she was walking. It wasn't her fault, but she was completely naked on the road. 'My kids were going 'mom can I take the camera outside?' and I said 'don't even think about it'.' As well as dealing with drunken revelers, Nosheen said event parking rules have also been causing stress. Strict enforcement, she says, meant the working mom missed a family wedding, as she knew she'd be unable to drive back to her house in time for her retail shift the next day. 13 The Oasis concerts will come just a week after thousands of music fans gather for the annual Parklife festival.

I've got twins, I left my car here, came inside, went back out, ticket. 'Another time, my husband came to drop me off, he pulled his car out, I went inside to drop my bag, and a police car told him to move or he'd get a ticket.'

'The majority of families along this stretch now are families with young children who are disrupted for the weekend. Advertisement 'This year I think it hasn't been taken into consideration. 'It does look like the councils are more interested in making money rather than concentrating residents, listening to their concerns, because concerns of the residents on this stretch haven't been listened to. 13 Father of four Habib, 50, has lived on the road for 15 years. William Lailey 'No-one's been to see us, no-one's had a consultation with us. Advertisement 'To have another five dates with Oasis, which is going to be huge, I think it's sad that the organizers did not consult or listen to the residents.' He added: 'You get people chucking things into your garden, some people still will try to run into your garden. 'You get kids coming in to your garden, what they want to do we don't know. 'A lot of the problems we have on this stretch as residents during Parklife is more due to the staff they employ than punters nowadays, especially the parking wardens who give residents such as hard time Advertisement 13 The five Oasis concerts will mark the first time the band will play in their home city since 2009. AP Ann Fullen, 84, has lived opposite the park for 43 years. She says the street gets 'noisy' during gigs. However the OAP disagreed with calls for an enforced dress code – saying the outfits were part of the fun. She said: 'They're lovely, short skirts – they do very well. It's funny to watch them roaming up and down this verge. 13 Preparations are underway for the first dates of the highly anticipated Oasis reunion tour. Andrew Lloyd / 'Let them get on with it, they're not doing any harm – they seem to enjoy themselves with their short skirts and what have you.' For the last few years, those living on Sheepfoot Lane have been given temporary gates to block drunken music fans from coming into their driveways. A resident of the street for 38 years, retiree Jaroslaw Kopczyk said for most of the year he enjoys living close to the 'beautiful' Heaton Park. But Jaroslaw recalled an incident where two women came in to his neighbor's front garden to relieve themselves. 13 Fans queueing for an Oasis reunion concert. Mirrorpix / MEGA He said: 'A couple of women came in and pulled their knickers down, and they were having a wee. 'They were obviously very, very bold to do it there, on a fairly busy road so they could be seen. We could actually see them through the bedroom window!' He added: 'They do give you fences to protect you, but there's not enough people, not enough wardens, to make sure that attendees to the events do what they have to do. 'Once the event's finished they should be going home. 13 Nossheen missed a family wedding because she knew she'd be unable to drive back to her house in time for her retail shift the next day. William Lailey 'There should be wardens here to make sure they're not sat on walls with a possibility of causing any damage anywhere. That's probably the biggest concern.' Mohamed Dilshad Mir, 73, has lived on the road for 37 years. He said he was looking forward to the Oasis gigs, but he admitted it did cause 'inconvenience' to local residents. He said: 'We can't park – that's one of our cars parked on the road there, we won't be able to park, we rely on our neighbors, we've got very good neighbors who are very welcoming and our extra cars are parked on their drives. 13 Mohamed Dilshad Mir said he was looking forward to the Oasis gigs, but he admitted it did cause 'inconvenience' to local residents.

Stephen Golmbeck, a resident of 35 years, said: 'It's great, there's no problem, we know what it is. 'When there's concerts on, it's gone better and better, it's well organized.

Manchester city councillor John Hacking said: 'We have a tried and tested process in place to support the planning and delivery of major music events in Heaton Park, which draws on experience and lessons learnt from more than ten years of hosting Parklife there. 13 A fan uses their phone to access an online ticket sales website to purchase tickets for Oasis' 'Live '25' tour taking place in 2025.

'We also hold regular discussions with local residents' groups, and detailed plans are implemented to help reduce the impact of the concerts on the local community. 'In addition to this we will also have a dedicated community impact team working for the duration of the Oasis concerts – as we did over the Parklife weekend – monitoring and managing any concerns.'

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are holding on to their $60 million home — for now
Nowadays can be a tough market for sellers — even for the rich and famous. Exes Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck took their $60 million love nest off the market on Wednesday, less than a year after listing the mansion for $68 million, reported. The Beverly Hills estate offers impressive mountain views and freshly renovated amenities, but not even an $8.1 million price cut in May could attract a new owner. 7 Affleck and Lopez, pictured in January 2024, finalized their divorce earlier this year. Golden Globes 2024 via Getty Images 7 An aerial view of the 5-acre property. @CelebCandidly / MEGA Lopez and Affleck bought the home in May of 2023, less than a year after tying the knot. The 'Jenny From the Block' singer and the 'Fargo' star paid $60.85 million for the 5-acre property, which resides in the gated Beverly Hills community of Wallingford Estates. The pair reportedly spared no expense renovating the opulent home to their tastes. The 38,000-square-foot interior includes 12 bedrooms and 24 bathrooms. Amenities featured in the listing included a bar, courts for basketball and pickleball, a gym, a boxing ring, a sports lounge and a 12-car garage. The property also features a pool, a 5,000-square-foot guest penthouse, a caretaker house, a two-bedroom guardhouse and parking for 80 vehicles. 7 The two-story foyer. BACKGRID 7 The modern kitchen. BACKGRID 7 A living room opens up to the patio and the pool. BACKGRID While it's true that 'Love Don't Cost a Thing,' living in this kind of home certainly does. Monthly maintenance fees, estimated, could be as high as $284,000, including the former couple's mortgage payments. And that's not to mention the Los Angeles mansion tax, which could cost them more than $3 million on the sale, the outlet reported. Lopez, 55, and Affleck, 52, reportedly tried to sell the property off-market in early June of 2024, two months before Lopez filed for divorce. The home was publicly listed a month later for $68 million. 7 A large ensuite bedroom features a sitting room. BACKGRID 7 A bathroom boasts mountain views. BACKGRID The palatial home was ultimately slashed to $59.95 million in early May of this year — signaling that Lopez and Affleck were prepared to take a loss in order to offload the property. Trophy homes such as this one can take years to sell, given the small pool of buyers able to afford them. It is not immediately clear whether the listing was removed this week due to flagging market momentum or in anticipation of an off-market sale, but a statement provided to People suggests the former. A source told the outlet the couple has been 'hesitant to take a big loss' and that they were advised to take it offof the market after lowering the price failed to drum up interest. 'It was a business decision that they made together,' the unnamed source told People. The A-list couple has purchased new homes since their split. Affleck bought a $20.5 million home in the Pacific Palisades in July of 2024, and Lopez followed suit in February with the purchase of a $17.5 million retreat in Hidden Hills.

Best Breakfast Chain
Another Broken Egg Cafe Photo courtesy of Brett_Hondow/iStock by Getty Images Photo courtesy of Brett_Hondow/iStock by Getty Images Another Broken Egg Cafe has been toasting the morning with mimosas and omelets since 1996. Foodies love to brunch here thanks to an upscale twist on Southern staples, so if you think shrimp should go with grits and chicken tastes great with waffles, this place gives your favorite comfort food a chef's kiss. Order a sugary beignet and a peach mocktail or blackberry mule to round out your high-cotton meal. Big Bad Breakfast (BBB) Photo courtesy of Big Bad Breakfast Photo courtesy of Big Bad Breakfast What happened when a James Beard Award–winning chef from New Orleans turned his attention to the most important meal of the day? Big Bad Breakfast was born. Plates piled high with andouille sausage, eggs fixed however you like, cheese-covered hash cakes made from scratch—it's the Big Easy way to start your day. As amazing as the popular Bloody Marys are, the fresh, fluffy biscuits are BBB's buttery stars. Broken Yolk Cafe Photo courtesy of Fudio/iStock by Getty Images Photo courtesy of Fudio/iStock by Getty Images For nearly 50 years, it's where Californians have fueled up for a day on the waves: Broken Yolk Cafe is a West Coast favorite for its decadent eggs Benedict and healthy choices like smoked salmon and avocado toast. Cal-Mex flavors of spicy chorizo and salsa verde pair perfectly with pomegranate juice or a Tajin-rimmed Bloody Mary. The restaurant's open for lunch too, great for a burger in the Cali sunshine. Call Your Mother Deli Photo courtesy of Call Your Mother Deli Photo courtesy of Call Your Mother Deli With locations in Denver and the greater D.C. area, Call Your Mother Deli packs a tasty punch despite its small footprint. Its whimsical take on create-your-own bagels (make a pastrami potato chip bagel schmeared with hummus if you'd like!) just might turn you into a morning person. Not sure how to assemble your bagel? The deli has plenty of suggestions, like the Royal Palm with smoked salmon and capers. Eggs Up Grill Photo courtesy of rez-art/iStock by Getty Images Photo courtesy of rez-art/iStock by Getty Images A warm smile and hot coffee await at your neighborhood Eggs Up Grill. The well-over-a-hundred restaurants sprinkled throughout the South have cracked the code for a simple, award-winning breakfast, serving farm-fresh eggs cooked to order and classics like biscuits and gravy done deliciously. But if you want to eat on the wilder side, try a Melty Cristo with spicy honey or a Crab-Ocado Scrambler with crab cakes. First Watch Photo courtesy of Robin Gentry/iStock by Getty Images Photo courtesy of Robin Gentry/iStock by Getty Images Good mornings start at First Watch, a 1980s California gathering spot that's gone national with its hearty and healthy take on breakfast. From French toast topped with fresh fruit to a trio of breakfast tacos, First Watch delivers—to your table and your front door! The company gives back to every community it whisks up pancakes in, so you can feel good about downing that second plate of Million Dollar Bacon. Hash House A Go Go Image courtesy of Hash House A Go Go Image courtesy of Hash House A Go Go Hash House A Go Go calls its style "twisted farm food," and it's easy to see why: sage fried chicken stacked precariously high on a waffle, a pork tenderloin sandwich you might need three hands to eat and Snickers pancakes the size of a tractor's steering wheel. Still have room after a crab cake-stuffed burger? The restaurant's famous B.L.T. Mary cocktail is a hearty meal in itself. Maple Street Biscuit Company Photo courtesy of Christian Gomez/iStock by Getty Images Photo courtesy of Christian Gomez/iStock by Getty Images Maple Street Biscuit Company believes a warm welcome each morning is a must, and that the humble biscuit can be so much more. Throughout the menu, you'll find quirky, flavor-filled creations—like the fried chicken, goat cheese and pepper jelly biscuit featured on Food Network's Guilty Pleasures. Your biscuit isn't complete without a handcrafted drink, from maple vanilla lattes and sweet cream cold brew to hot honey lemonade and fruit tea. Ruby Slipper Photo courtesy of Page Light Studios/iStock by Getty Images Photo courtesy of Page Light Studios/iStock by Getty Images Seasonal mimosa flights, six kinds of eggs Benedict, sugar-glazed bacon called pig candy—there's no place like Ruby Slipper for a one-of-a-kind brunch. This New Orleans–based café has begun to expand, doling out its fried green tomatoes and Gulf shrimp omelets to the rest of the South. Perhaps the chain's most delightful feature is its dog-friendly menu: order your goodest boy a banana pupcake or an egg and chicken sausage scramble. Snooze, an A.M. Eatery Photo courtesy of Jaana Brown/iStock by Getty Images Photo courtesy of Jaana Brown/iStock by Getty Images If you Snooze, you definitely won't lose! You'll have a winning morning with the eatery's 1950s diner vibe and crazy pancakes (care to tackle a stack of pineapple upside-down pancakes?). For something savory, try a lean protein scramble or a hearty plate of hash browns covered in cheddar. All ingredients are responsibly sourced, so your nitro cold brew goes toward planting trees and making the planet a better place. The Friendly Toast Photo courtesy of HHLtDave5/iStock by Getty Images Photo courtesy of HHLtDave5/iStock by Getty Images It's Saturday night, and you're in the mood for brunch. Where can you go? The Friendly Toast. Many locations of this playful New England restaurant are open all day on weekends so you can get your fill from its creative menu.

The Original Pancake House Photo courtesy of fdastudillo/iStock by Getty Images Photo courtesy of fdastudillo/iStock by Getty Images The family-owned Original Pancake House has been an icon in the breakfast world for over 70 years, spreading its famous apple pancakes and golden Dutch baby pancakes across the country. Everything's made from scratch using the finest ingredients and a family sourdough recipe.

Its dozens of cafés, mostly along the Gulf Coast, have breakfast lovers up at sunrise for chicken-fried steak with eggs or healthy Southwest breakfast bowls. Rather sleep in? Then stop by for lunch, where patty melts and strawberry salads will deliciously fuel your day. Waffle House Photo courtesy of jetcityimage/iStock by Getty Images Photo courtesy of jetcityimage/iStock by Getty Images A highway landmark that's as essential to Southern culture as grits and football, Waffle House has been serving late-night road trippers and traveling sports teams since 1955. Open 24 hours, its nearly 2,000 diners are famous for their friendly service and their smothered, covered and chunked hash browns. And it's affordable—the popular All-Star Special breakfast is big enough to split (though you may want the pecan waffle for yourself). Yolk Photo courtesy of Daniel Huang/iStock by Getty Images Photo courtesy of Daniel Huang/iStock by Getty Images One man's dream of an upscale breakfast place in downtown Chicago produced Yolk. With just over a dozen locations, this small chain is steadily growing because of unique dishes like breakfast mac 'n' cheese and red velvet French toast. There are loads of drink options, from strawberry orange juice and matcha lattes to flavored coffee syrups—but Yolk's signature coffee is so good, you may want to skip the extra flavor.
