This food truck and restaurant served Miami for 15 years. Now it's closing in MiMo
Ms. Cheezious, which was opened by Christian Dickens and husband-and-wife team Brian and Fatima Mullins, started in 2010 as a roving food truck. The Mullins opened their first brick-and-mortar spot in the MiMo district in 2015 at 7418 Biscayne Blvd., serving up melts like the grilled blue (cheese) and bacon, a short rib melt and a very Miami croqueta monsieur melt.
On the brand's Instagram account, the restaurant's social media team explained that the building the restaurant is in has been sold.
'Our beloved restaurant will be closing its doors at this location due to the sale of the building,' the post said. 'We cannot express how grateful we are for your support over the past 10 + years. Each visit, each meal shared, and each smile has meant the world to us. You have become a part of our family, and we will cherish these memories forever.'
The brand went on to say that it is 'building out a new location and actively searching for other locations,' then asks fans for any leads on other possible locations. Ms. Cheezious' food trucks are still available for catering and events, and the restaurant plans to be available for delivery and pickup through its website.
Ms. Cheezious made its debut at Art Basel in 2010. Its sandwiches were so popular, it doubled its sales in its first year of existence and the Mullinses bought a second truck. In 2012 and 2013, it won the People's Choice Award for Best Food Truck at the South Beach Wine and Food Festival and went on to be named to the Food Network's Top 25 Food Trucks in the Country.
In early May, one of the brand's food trucks was serving up their famous melts at the F-1 Miami Grand Prix.
The final day of service at the MiMo location will be June 12.

Heather Graham flaunts ageless figure in stunning bikini collection during Italian vacation
There is no one else who is soaking up the sun more these days than Heather Graham. The actress, who is on vacation in Sardinia, has delighted her 571K followers on Instagram by proudly displaying her collection of bikinis while beating the heat with pals. Advertisement 'Got to explore beautiful Sardinia with my friend @debrajfisher,' the 55-year-old captioned the series of photos. '@janeseymour came along for part of our adventure. I admire her long career and her #joiedevivre. How the hell does she look so good? I'm asking for her secrets.' 'The sea is so beautiful and the food is so good,' she shared. 'I discovered #culurgiones…' The 'Austin Powers' star modeled six different swimsuits during her beachy getaway. While she primarily opted for string bikinis in vibrant hues, Graham also sported curve-hugging one-pieces. Advertisement In sizzling snapshots, Graham is seen enjoying the crystal blue waters of the Mediterranean. She also spent time with friends and explored luxurious yachts. At one point, she was accompanied by Jane Seymour, who, like Graham, proudly flaunted her youthful figure in a baby blue and coral one-piece. 10 Heather Graham shows off in her blue bikini during a vacation to Italy.

Most recently, Graham spoke to Retreat Magazine about her approach to aging. 'I think what matters most is how you feel inside,' she told the outlet. 'Decide that you're hot and enjoy your life. What other people think of you is none of your business. If you feel good about yourself, no one can take that away from you. Pursue the things that fill you with joy, and surround yourself with loving people.' 'I don't drink or do drugs, and I get a lot of sleep,' Graham continued. 'Eating healthy makes me feel good. I like cooking for myself and other people. And I love it when people cook for me. Basically, I like eating! Also, I do affirmations. I think they are very powerful. I work on strengthening my inner loving parent muscle, so I can be supportive and loving to myself. One of my affirmations is: 'This is the best time of my life.''

'I feel like as I get older, I just care less about things that don't matter,' she told the outlet. 'Everyone gets upset sometimes, but I think that I'm happier. I've done enough hard work on myself that I feel like I'm a happier person now.' The 'Boogie Nights' actress has been focused on wellness since she was 21. Graham works out, eats healthily, does yoga and meditates.

Heather Graham/Instagram Graham graduated from high school with a 5.0 GPA and went on to study English at UCLA. After her junior year at the university, she decided to drop out to focus on her acting career. The actress is proud of the life she has created for herself. 'I live in Los Angeles in a house I bought last year. I also have a loft in New York,' she told The Wall Street Journal in 2024, noting that her West Coast home 'has views of the Pacific.' Advertisement Most recently, Seymour spoke to Fox News Digital about how she's stayed in shape for decades without fad diets or marathon workout routines. 'I almost always never have breakfast,' the 'Dr. Quinn' alum explained about her diet. 'I will have liquids and my vitamins. I've got this vitamin combination that has collagen. I'll have that in the morning and either black tea, coffee, or water. And then at lunchtime, I'll have a fabulous meal, whatever I want pretty much. I tend to like salmon, shrimp and grilled vegetables. And I love Italian food. I might have a little eggplant Parmesan; it's a favorite of mine. Maybe some lean chicken.' 10 Graham poses during a boat ride along the Italian coast. Heather Graham/Instagram 10 Graham admitted to being a happier person after she turned 55 in January.

Heather Graham/Instagram The star said that the one thing she 'almost never' eats is steak, but she does make exceptions. 'Once in a while, I'll have a little bit of filet steak, maybe a couple of slices. I'm not against it. But I feel better usually when eating fish and lots of vegetables. I grow a lot of my food in my garden, a lot of it in pots actually … it keeps the bugs out. I have lettuce, arugula, artichokes, avocados, blueberries and strawberries. Also, lots of different types of kale. I love eating fresh vegetables. When I grill my vegetables, I add a little bit of olive oil and sometimes a sprinkle of salt.' Advertisement The former Bond girl also noted that it's important for her to stay active daily. However, she listens to her body about what it needs each day. 'I work with a lady … it's almost like physiotherapy, but it's a workout. I do Gyrotonics and some Pilates – a lot of floor work, believe it or not, even though I'm on a bench. But everything I do, anyone else can do at home, in a hotel room, their living room, their garden – anywhere where you can put a yoga mat down. I do Pilates legwork, which is like doing some of my ballet. I can use my own weight or a ballet bar.' '… I'm very careful about doing the right technique,' she said. 'If I can't do too much, if I can't stretch too much that day, that's fine. I just do as much as my body is comfortable doing because I don't want to injure myself. I had back surgery a long time ago. That's a nemesis for me. So, I listen to my body.' Fox News Digital's Janelle Ash contributed to this report.

Ex-fighter jet pilot Stephen Fuhr is on a mission to change how we arm the military
OTTAWA - Not that long ago, former air force fighter pilot Stephen Fuhr was just one among many voices in Canada complaining about the way the federal government makes big defence purchasing decisions. At no point, he said, did it occur to him that he would wind up in his current position - as the prime minister's point person for fixing Canada's sclerotic military procurement system. 'I find it very ironic that I was one of many that complained ... why does it take so long?' said Fuhr, 59, in an interview with The Canadian Press. Fuhr knows first hand how the state of Canada's military procurement system feels to people on the ground - how byzantine government rules make vital equipment purchases move at molasses speed, leaving soldiers and pilots without the tools they need to fight a modern conflict. The once-prominent critic of former prime minister Stephen Harper government's management of defence - notably the original F-35 stealth fighter procurement process - is stepping up to change how the system works. Prime Minister Mark Carney named Fuhr secretary of state for defence procurement on May 13, giving him a new, narrowly focused junior role in cabinet. The Carney government's focus on reforming defence procurement is happening as new threats emerge on the world stage - and as Canada and other NATO allies come under heavy pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump to ramp up defence spending by a staggering amount. Canada is also looking for ways to bolster its domestic defence industry and partner more with Europe as it pivots away from a more isolationist and protectionist United States. For the first time in a long time, the military is a core government priority. 'I feel good about it,' Fuhr said. 'Canadians are supportive of us being more involved in defence spending. There's a big opportunity for our industries and businesses in defence and being able to pull our weight on the world stage with our defence relationships.' It's also a moment of uncertainty - for Carney's government, for Canada and the world. Fuhr's background in the air force trained him to prepare for the unexpected. On Sept. 11, 2001, when terrorists hijacked airliners and crashed them into major U.S. buildings, Fuhr was in Inuvik, where he was flying a CF-18 on force-projection exercises. He spent the security crisis patrolling the Arctic skies as events unfolded south of the border, then was sent to CFB Comox on Vancouver Island, where he was kept on alert until Canada relaxed its air defence posture. 'It was pretty surreal,' he said. 'In the moment, we don't know if there's more. We just know these airplanes are coming and they have to land somewhere.' He was in the Royal Canadian Air Force for two decades and at one point was in charge of overseeing all of Canada's CF-18 Hornets. Formerly a conservative-inclined voter, he made the jump into federal politics with the Liberals a decade ago after becoming frustrated with the contentious F-35 purchase. Fuhr warned that the cost of the deal was doomed to explode and that the process had gone awry. He was right: the budget for the F-35 purchase has since ballooned and Ottawa is conducting a review of the project in response to the Trump administration's trade chaos. Still, Fuhr shrugs off the idea that he would chime in with his opinions about the F-35 at the cabinet table. 'My strong opinions are 10 years old, and a lot has changed in 10 years,' the Kelowna MP said. But he could end up helping to decide how the next big-ticket items roll out. Carney made numerous defence commitments in the spring election. One of them was a promise to establish a new defence procurement agency to speed up equipment purchases for the military, and that agency falls under Fuhr's mandate. The party's election platform pledged legislative changes to 'expand risk-based approaches' to purchasing approvals, 'centralize expertise from across government' and 'streamline the way we buy equipment for the military.' Canada's military has suffered from peacetime budget woes under governments of various stripes since the Cold War ended. Major items of military equipment are nearing the end of their usable lifespan and new purchases are moving slowly through a risk-averse and slow-moving bureaucracy. For the past half century, military purchasing decisions tended to involve multiple government departments. Carney's plan for this new agency would create one main point of contact, as in wartime. 'We're trapped outside the technology cycle, which is a really difficult place to be, and we have to get it done faster. It has to be more organized. It has to be easier for industry,' Fuhr said. Canada, in other words, is pushing for a military comeback. Fuhr is fresh off of a comeback of his own. He became a Liberal MP in 2015, when he rallied support from unlikely corners like the local Green Party, whose candidate stepped down to endorse Fuhr. A former chair of the House of Commons defence committee, he's been around the political block. But he was defeated in 2019 by Conservative Tracy Gray. He didn't run in 2021 but returned to the ballot in April, and this time he defeated Gray. This isn't the first time the government has tried to reform procurement. It's also not the first time there's been a cabinet-level position tied to procurement. The Harper government tapped Julian Fantino as associate minister of defence to overhaul procurement, and Justin Trudeau's Liberals promised multiple defence procurement reforms in the 2015 and 2019 elections. Neither government moved the needle much - and both failed to spend enough to address the Canadian Armed Forces equipment gap. Fuhr insisted it's different this time. 'If it was ever going to happen, it's going to happen now,' he said. He said Canada has to make a major 'lift' to meet its alliance defence commitments and Carney 'wants to get it done.' When asked what he brings to the role, Fuhr pointed not to his time in the air but to his work on the ground with the military and his family's aerospace business, SkyTrac Systems, which they eventually sold. 'I know what it's like for industry to try and get involved in defence procurement because I lived that life for a while,' he said. 'I bring a well-rounded skill set, not just I flew airplanes.' Fuhr might be out of the military but he can't stay out of the skies. Right up until he decided to run for office again, he was testing and certifying pilots on instrument ratings, ensuring they can fly by instruments alone. The retired air force major in his spare time flies a Vans RV8, an kit-built two-seater aircraft he purchased several years ago. The small, low-wing recreational craft is painted to look like a fighter jet - he even has a shark mouth painted on the nose of the plane. He may not have much time to get up in the air this summer. He'll be in and out of meetings with officials drafting up blueprints for the new procurement agency, sorting out its size and scope.
