Join the Manchester Evening News WhatsApp group HERE PC Mitchell was a Patrol officer based at Halifax, West Yorkshire Police said. There are no suspicious circumstances surround his death, with a file being prepared for the coroner. A fundraiser, set up by James Cichorz has since raised over £16,000 to support Charlie's family following his sudden death and the mum of his baby boy. Donations can be made here. A tribute on the page read: "Charlie was not only a dedicated police officer, but also a loving partner to Brooklyn and a proud new father to their beautiful baby boy. "Just recently, Brooklyn—who also serves with West Yorkshire Police in the Safeguarding team—welcomed their son into the world. What should have been a time of joy and new beginnings has now been overshadowed by unimaginable grief. "Brooklyn is now facing something no one should have to: the loss of her partner and the father of her child, while stepping into motherhood alone. Though I know her policing family will continue to surround her with love and support, I wanted to do something to help ease, even slightly, the road ahead. "I've set up a GoFundMe to support Brooklyn and her baby through this incredibly difficult time. The funds raised will help give them a little breathing room—whether that's to help with everyday costs, time off work, or simply space to grieve and begin to heal. "If you're able to give, please do. And if you can't, even sharing this message means so much. Thank you for keeping Brooklyn, their baby boy and all who loved Charlie in your thoughts." The police union, the Federation, which represents officers in the area, said it is 'devastated' by PC Mitchell's death. Craig Nicholls, chairman, said: "We offer our sincerest condolences to Charlie's family, friends and close colleagues at this tragic time and will be offering them all the support we can." --- Day in day out, our reporters in the Manchester Evening News newsroom bring you remarkable stories from all aspects of Mancunian life.

A Patty Stand Is Launching at Lincoln Center From an Acclaimed Chef
Lincoln Center leveled up majorly when the restaurant, Tatiana, opened from Kwame Onwuachi in 2022, part of a bigger renovation of David Geffen Hall. This summer, the chef has been focusing on patties: first debuting Patty Palace, a patty stand at Citi Field, followed by an announcement that he'd be opening a permanent takeout booth at the forthcoming Time Out Market near Union Square. Now, Patty Palace will open a food stand at Lincoln Center Plaza for the summer, serving curried chicken patties. It's part of a larger event series at the performance venue, in collaboration with the Infatuation, running from Friday, June 11 to Saturday, August 9, with a mix of top chefs and up-and-comers in the city: The line-up includes Sam Yoo of Golden Diner, fine dining restaurant Saga's Charlie Mitchell, Korean Cajun restaurant Kjun's Jae Jung, and Bushwick's streetside ice cream sensation Nieves Cortes. Food is served at night, from Wednesday through Sunday, in tandem with shows at Lincoln Center, opening an hour before and closing after its duration. A new media elite clubhouse is here The Marlton, just off Washington Square Park, on West Eighth Street, has long been a hotel lobby functional for meetings and doing some laptop work. But in recent years, it had lost some of its luster. That is about to change thanks to the debut of Chez Nous, a buzzy new bistro that is sure to become a media elite clubhouse. It comes from David Kuhn, a literary agent, and his life partner, Kevin Thompson, a production designer who worked on Maestro — with an equally stacked group of guests at its opening party, chronicled by the New York Times . The French menu plays it straight with some tweaks: a menu lists whole artichoke, a yuzu tuna tartare, a Nicoise salad, shrimp cocktails with cured fennel and preserved lemon, steak, whole chicken, and a burger. The restaurant is currently open for reservations, including during breakfast hours — it's definitely work meeting-friendly. A horror-themed bookstore cafe for Williamsburg Bookstore cafes are everywhere in New York. The latest is the Twisted Spine, a horror-themed bookstore with drinks, on its way to Williamsburg. It'll be located at 306 Grand Street, near Havemeyer Street, Greenpointers reported. Eater has reached out for more information. See More:

Chefs on the Films That Always Make Them Hungry
The rigor and schedule of professional cooking don't allow for many movie nights, but that's not to say chefs don't find inspiration on the big screen. When we asked a handful of food-world figures about the films that make them want to cook or eat or both, they spoke about narratives that remind them of the joy of a leisurely meal, food's ability to comfort and what drove them to cook in the first place. Here, 11 chefs discuss the food films, old and new, that still excite them. Ruth Rogers, 76, chef and owner of the River Café, London: 'La Grande Bouffe' (1973) I saw this film when I was living in Paris, in 1973. We were there because Richard [the architect Richard Rogers, Ruth's late husband] was building the Pompidou Center. The movie was quite controversial when it came out. It's about a group of friends who decide they're going to eat themselves to death. They get together and start to binge. These four men just absolutely love to eat; it's their great thing in life. My husband and I loved this movie, so we decided to judge people on whether or not the film made them hungry or disgusted. We, of course, were hungry. Years later, I was having lunch with Francis Ford Coppola, and he told me it was his favorite food movie too. Charlie Mitchell, 32, chef of Saga, New York City: 'Good Burger' (1997) I watched 'Good Burger' again this year. I'm from Detroit but I live in New York City, and when I'm homesick I usually get nostalgic for food, music or films. I must've been in elementary school the first time I saw it, probably on VHS. I always connected with the character [Ed (played by Kel Mitchell), a cashier at the burger restaurant where the film is set]. He's in his own world, and he creates this sauce that everyone loves. I felt like I was the only person in my friend group and community who was interested in food at a young age: Everyone was loving Dragon Ball Z and I enjoyed cooking dinner for my mom or cooking with my grandmother on the weekend. So 'Good Burger' was about connecting with that character who was in his own world having so much fun cooking. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
