Phil Fraser's Food Anarchy has won legions of fans who have followed his van around its regular locations at Dunvant, Gorseinon, Marina Market, and Mumbles Market, with popular menu items including gourmet burgers, loaded hash browns, and loaded fries. Mr Fraser's fiancée Katie Powlson is also a favourite at food markets with her business Happy Little Cake Company serving up an array of cakes and sweet treats. Now the pair have decided to team up and launch their first business Fully Loaded. Based in High Street in Gorseinon it will officially open its doors on Wednesday, July 30, and will trade from Wednesday until Saturday from 9.30am until 2.30pm. It will serve up loaded hash browns, loaded fries, sandos, cakes, and bakes. A queue forms outside Food Anarchy at Swansea Marina Market (Image: WalesOnline ) Discussing the new venture Phil said: "It is a collaboration between Katie's company and mine. We've wanted a property for a while and this was Katie's brainchild. Someone from the market gave us the heads-up of this property and we went and saw it then started putting it together. "With Gorseinon being so good to us with the van on a Friday night it felt well worth a go. There's going to be the loaded hash browns, loaded fries, and instead of doing burgers we'll be doing sandos to make it more of a daytime thing. From Katie's side we'll be doing cakes and bakes and we have a coffee element coming in as well. Article continues below "The sandos are not going to be your standard tuna mayo sandwich. For instance we had the Nigella burger and we can do a version of that in a sandwich. It'll be unapologetic big-flavoured sandwiches. "There will be brownies and blondies and tarts and things like that, and I know Katie wants to do fresh cinnamon rolls daily." Loaded hash browns will be sold at Fully Loaded (Image: Phil Fraser ) Sandos will also be on the menu (Image: Phil Fraser ) Describing why they picked Gorseinon as a location Phil said: "Gorseinon is just fantastic. The people have been so supportive of it and the reaction online, or from people coming up to the van, we always have people asking: 'When's the shop opening?'. "It sounds like we've got quite a bit of support but all we can do is give it a go. You can do everything right and still fail but if you don't give it a go you're never going to have a chance. "It's not going to be your traditional café but it will be somewhere you can go and get some really good food or a coffee and a cake, completely unpretentious. Article continues below "The food van will carry on as usual on Tuesday nights in season at Dunvant, Fridays outside Toasted, and Sundays at the markets. We're going to try not to affect our businesses too much – it's just a case of having a base now and somewhere we can work from. "It feels very natural. We've been ready for this for a while but you've got to wait for the right opportunity."

"A spoiled child": Aaron Rodgers slammed as overrated and selfish in final NFL season amid Tom Brady comparisons
Aaron Rodgers' final NFL season with the Steelers is generating mixed reactions (Imagn Images) Aaron Rodgers is heading into his final NFL season, now wearing a Pittsburgh Steelers jersey, but the four-time MVP's swan song is already facing scrutiny. At 41, the future Hall of Famer has made it clear this will be his last ride, but instead of a universal send-off, his legacy is under fire—especially from legends and analysts who aren't sold on his leadership credentials. Steelers embrace Aaron Rodgers , but NFL legends push back on his greatness The Steelers have rolled out the red carpet for Aaron Rodgers. Head coach Mike Tomlin praised the veteran quarterback, saying, 'I mean, read his resume. We're excited about him being here.' Tight end Pat Freiermuth also drew comparisons between Rodgers and Pittsburgh icon Ben Roethlisberger, adding, 'I think he's similar to Ben in a way, where you know he sees the game in a certain way.' — Steelersdepot (@Steelersdepot) However, not all football voices are as supportive. Hall of Famer Cris Carter took a public shot at Rodgers on the Fully Loaded podcast, questioning his football intelligence and influence in team meetings compared to other greats. 'People don't feel that same way about Aaron Rodgers because his knowledge of the game is not the same as these guys,' Carter said, referring to Peyton Manning and Tom Brady. 'He sounds like a spoiled child. ' Carter argued that Rodgers lacks the elite mental grasp of the game that defined Brady's and Manning's success. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The Most Beautiful Women In The World Undo He claimed Rodgers didn't command the same respect in the Jets' locker room, saying, 'They would have been like, 'Guess what we're getting ready to do? What that guy right there said.' Manning conducted meetings in Denver. Brady did the same in Tampa Bay.' Skip Bayless and Terry Bradshaw pile on Aaron Rodgers' reputation Rodgers' image as a "diva" resurfaced once again when Skip Bayless blasted the Steelers for signing him. Even more brutally, Steelers legend Terry Bradshaw said Rodgers was a bad fit for the franchise and took a swipe at his off-field persona: 'That guy needs to stay in California, go somewhere and chew on bark and whisper to the gods out there.' Despite the noise, Rodgers remains focused. 'I mean, I played 20 freaking years, you know? It's been a long run and I've enjoyed it,' he told The Pat McAfee Show. 'What better place to finish than in one of the cornerstone franchises of the NFL?'

Cris Carter: Shedeur Sanders' Flashy Image Cost Him Millions
The 2025 NFL Draft was a rollercoaster of surprises, but few stories captured the spotlight like Shedeur Sanders' shocking slide to the fifth round. Once projected as a top-five pick, the Colorado quarterback's fall to the Cleveland Browns at pick 144 has sparked intense debate. Hall of Fame receiver Cris Carter believes Sanders has nobody to blame but himself. Advertisement On Monday, Carter delivered a blistering assessment of Sanders' pre-draft decisions on the Fully Loaded podcast. His comments point to a series of massive mistakes that may have cost Sanders millions. Roughly $50 million. 'You're going for a job interview,' Carter said. 'So, for his job interview, he was so concerned about what his outfit was, his necklace was over a hundred grand. Like, he hadn't even convinced people that you're the face of our franchise.' Shedeur Sanders Cost Himself Carter is so convinced that it was Shedeur Sanders' cocky attitude that caused him to completely drop off of some draft boards, that he suggested the quarterback forced the hand of team owners. Advertisement 'Matter of fact, he had convinced people that they were better off going in a different direction, even with people who had lesser talent,' Carter said. 'That's the rub he put onto people.' It was such a surreal scene that the Browns, who took Sanders in the fifth round of the NFL Draft, had already chosen Oregon quarterback Dillon Gabriel in the third round. Scout Inc. ranked Sanders as the second-best quarterback in the draft, but Gabriel wasn't in their top five. Sheduer went two rounds after Gabriel. Moreover, it seems like the Browns were making some sort of charity pick by even selecting Sanders. They now have five quarterbacks on their roster. Shedeur will have his work cut out for him to make the main roster.

In fact, his overvaluation of his self-worth was evident even after the draft. Sanders, despite the surprising slide to the fifth round, celebrated his selection by the Browns with a lavish party in Dallas, showcasing $1 million in cash inside Louis Vuitton cases. The event, attended by celebrities like Kodak Black and Yung Miami, drew attention when Sanders' brother, Deion Jr., clarified on social media that the cash was a gift. Advertisement With everything to prove to his doubters, you'd have thought Shedeur would be humbled. Perhaps a video of him immediately heading to the gym for a workout instead of a party. Instead, he's out here acting like 'Broadway' Joe Namath in his fur coat. Also Read:: Packers Legend Clay Matthews Wrecks Chicago Bears Fans with Epic 'Message' from the President

Former NFL star Cris Carter rails against Shedeur Sanders' decision-making throughout NFL Draft process
The 2025 NFL Draft brought its fair share of surprises, but the Shedeur Sanders saga became a hotly debated topic. The Cleveland Browns selected Sanders in the fifth round. Shortly after the selection, Sanders took to social media to share a short but emotional message: "Thank you GOD." In the days since, many figures in the sports world and beyond have shared thoughts about why Sanders fell down the draft boards. Pro Football Hall of Famer Cris Carter is one of the latest former NFL stars to weigh in on the Sanders situation. In what appeared to be his unfiltered take, Carter suggested Sanders sacrificed tens of millions of dollars due to his disposition and overall handling leading up to last week's draft. "(Sheduer and his family) thinking that he was in the same evaluation mode as Eli Manning, they didn't play that right," Carter said during a recent sitdown on the "Fully Loaded" podcast. "Them trying to narrow the teams that he was going to go to? That didn't go right. Not working out at the Combine? That wasn't the right thing. His interview process. Obviously, he could've done a lot better than that. A lot of people left meetings feeling he was very, very entitled." The NFL legend also pushed back on the notion that the league colluded to prevent Sanders from becoming a high draft pick. Carter asserted that the former Colorado quarterback and his family "overplayed their hand." "A number of things happened. The No. 1 thing that didn't happen was there was not a collusion message with the NFL owners," Carter stated. "They wouldn't be able to keep a secret like that. They wouldn't be able to shut up about it. Every owner is very, very selfish. Now, why would I do something to my detriment? Like, if I need a quarterback, and I think this kid is it? What he didn't realize is, the guys that have fallen in the draft before, they all had unusual traits. They had some superstar qualities to them. Some other things happened that made them fall, but Shedeur and his family overplayed their hand." Carter did admit Sanders had intangibles that were worthy of a first-round pick, but not before he took aim at the quarterback's physical traits. "He doesn't have a big-time arm. He's not a big guy. He's not overly athletic. His measurables are not, say, first-round measurables. But he played football like a first-rounder. … But you don't play football all the time. You're a human-being the rest of the time," Carter said. Sanders finished the 2024 season with 4,134 passing yards. He is the son of Pro Football Hall of Famer and Colorado football head coach Deion Sanders. He will join a crowded quarterback room in Cleveland that features Deshaun Watson, Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett and Dillon Gabriel.

Cris Carter unloads on Shedeur Sanders for ‘$50 million' NFL draft mistake
Who's to blame for Shedeur Sanders' plummet to the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft? Hall of Fame wide receiver Cris Carter thinks it's simple: Sanders has no one to blame but himself. 'You're going for a job interview,' Carter said about the pre-draft process during an episode of the 'Fully Loaded' podcast released Monday. 'So, for his job interview, he was so concerned about what his outfit was, his necklace was over a hundred grand. Like, he hadn't even convinced people that you're the face of our franchise.

If Sanders had gone in the top three like he and many around him expected, he would have been in line to make far more money than he'll now make after being selected by the Browns in the fifth round. Advertisement Five quarterbacks were drafted ahead of him. 'He threw away at least 30 to 50 million dollars,' Carter said. Carter also mentioned how the young quarterback's father, Colorado head coach Deion Sanders, could have been part of the problem, too. Deion went as far as to say a year ago that Shedeur might refuse to play for a franchise that the family saw as undesirable. Advertisement 'Shedeur and his family, they overplayed their hand,' Carter said. 'Them thinking that he was in the same evaluation mode as Eli Manning, they didn't play that right. Them trying to narrow the teams that he was going to go to, that didn't do right.' Sanders also didn't work out at the combine and didn't totally blow scouts away at his pro day. 'Not working out at the combine, that wasn't the right thing,' Carter added. 'His interview process — obviously, he could have done a lot better in that. A lot of people left that meeting and felt he was very, very entitled.'

'Let me tell you what he understands today,' Carter said. 'He ain't running s–t. OK? Let me tell you what, they taught him a great lesson. You don't have this figured out. Your dad don't have this figured out.'
