Bobby Flay Fans Send Love: 'The Grief is So Intense'
Bobby Flay Fans Send Love: 'The Grief is So Intense' originally appeared on Parade. Celebrity was well known for his giant, fluffy orange Maine Coon named Nacho. He would frequently make appearances on Flay's shows, and it is clear from all the posts over the years that Nacho was a special boy. On July 3, Flay shared with his followers that the tree he planted in Nacho's memory is growing so big and has the most beautiful flowers in and around it. "I planted a tree for Nacho. It's surrounded by orange flowers. The tree has flowers too, which bloom every summer," read the video captions. It ends by zooming in on a plaque that reads, "In loving memory of Nacho Flay. 10/07/2014 to 10/17/2023. Though Nacho crossed the Rainbow Bridge, his magic was truly special. Rest peacefully. Forever in our hearts." The comments are full of his fans and fellow Food Network stars sending him love and praising the "beautiful tribute" to his beloved Nacho."Love this," writes Chef Michael Symon. Food Network star Sunny Anderson added, "Nice, Bobby." "What a beautiful tribute to Nacho!" wrote Chef Viet Pham. Chef Maneet Chauhan and BBQ Brawl host/judge Carson Kressley also left heart-eye emojis. "Love how he has your name. Our pets are more than just pets - they're family. ❤️," wrote one fan. Another added, "Nacho was such an icon in every episode. 😻.""What a lovely idea! Such a beautiful tree & a wonderful way to celebrate the life of your beautiful boy," wrote a third fan. "What a beautiful tribute to your beloved Nacho. I lost my girl on the same day he passed away. The grief is so intense. Just know I feel your pain 😻😻," wrote a fourth fan. Flay has launched a brand of cat food called Made by Nacho that he developed with Chewy. Flay's next Maine Coon after Nacho's passing is Canelo, who is an orange boy just like Nacho was, and whom Flay once referred to as "our hungriest little taste tester" in re: Made by Nacho's food. Canelo joined fellow Maine Coon Stella in Flay's household. When Food Network's Anne Burrell died, Flay credited her with launching his love for Maine Coons. Burrell famously had two as well. When she died, Flay wrote on his Instagram stories, "Worst Cooks in America was the funnest show on TV. All of your co-hosts (me included) were just alongside for the Anne Burrell ride. The greatest gift I got from AB was turning me on to a world of Maine Coon cats (including Nacho)… a gift that I'll have forever. #unforgettable." 🎬 SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬 Bobby Flay Fans Send Love: 'The Grief is So Intense' first appeared on Parade on Jul 4, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jul 4, 2025, where it first appeared.

Golden Retriever Owner Worried He'll Rip Up Stuffy, Tears over What He Does
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. It looks like butter wouldn't melt in this golden retriever's mouth as he sits patiently staring at his owner behind the camera. Judging by the footage to follow—it wouldn't. In a viral Instagram clip featuring the text, "Don't get him a stuffed toy, he'll tear it apart," Seven-year-old Nacho proves everyone wrong. Contrary to popular belief, Nacho has no intention of destroying his toys. The montage of videos shared to the account @nacho_thekneadydog shows him gently holding multiple stuffed toys in his mouth and kneading them, earning 7 million views. Newsweek spoke to his owner Linda Nielsen, 42, she explained: "He first started kneading his toys when he was six-months-old and it was just something he'd do when feeling snoozy. Almost like a child using a pacifier." Two screenshots from the video showing Nacho with a grey and orange stuffed toy in his mouth. Two screenshots from the video showing Nacho with a grey and orange stuffed toy in his mouth. TikTok/@nacho_thekneadydog Nielsen describes her dog as "very gentle, calm and careful," who always greets his owners with a toy in his mouth and wagging tail. What began as a soothing behavior in puppyhood has carried over into his adult life. He has a collection of stuffed toys that are carefully packed whenever they visit restaurants or friends' houses. The heartwarming scene, shared on July 4, has over 963,700 likes at the time of writing. According to the comments, Nacho isn't the only dog to treat stuffed toys this way. One owner commented: "My [golden retriever] always had a cuddly toy, it was never ripped apart just cuddled until it could be cuddled no more." A second wrote: "Precious sweetheart!! I swear golden retrievers are on another level of sweetness!! I had one growing up [and] he was an angel on earth!!" But not all dogs seek comfort from teddies. Many dogs love toys that simulate prey, which is exactly what plush toys do so well. The American Kennel Club explains that the soft, squeezable texture mimics the feel of small animals, while many plush toys include squeakers to imitate the sounds of distressed prey. This taps into a dog's natural hunting instincts, making these toys especially rewarding. Nielsen, who lives in Malmö, Sweden, told Newsweek: "He'd still tear them up like any other dog does - and he still does every now and then - but as he's gotten older, the destroying as become less frequent." For many dogs, the experience of ripping apart a plush toy is immensely satisfying—tearing, shaking, and "disemboweling" the stuffing provides an outlet for these deeply rooted behaviors. Puppies and younger dogs in particular often find plush toys highly appealing because they are soft, easy to bite, and comforting.

Hysterics at Reason Cat Owner Has To Keep Camera Off for Work Meetings
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. In a viral TikTok video, a cat owner reveals the reason he always keeps his camera off during work meetings, and internet users can't cope with it. The clip, shared in July under the username @projectliryc, shows the poster working at his desk, with multiple screens open, while his feline companion lies on him, expecting love and cuddles all through the call. "Camera off during meetings [because] I have to hold my cat while working from home or else he'll yell at me," reads layover text in the clip. The caption says: "CFO: chief feline officer." Since COVID-19 hit back in 2020, it shifted workplace dynamics, allowing millions of Americans to work from home. Five years on, according to Statista, only about 1 in 5 American employees work from home regularly. Remote work has been found to make people more content. It is estimated that over 74 percent of employees feel happier when working remotely, mostly because it cuts travel times and allows them to spend more time with family. American employees are so excited about working from home that about 50 percent are happy to take a pay cut just to have the option of continuing to work remotely. Employees who have children are more likely to work in hybrid settings, splitting their workweek between home and employer's location, while those without children are more likely to work fully remote or fully on-site. While most employers struggle to believe that their employees are being productive working from home, studies have found that those with full schedule flexibility report 29 percent higher productivity and 53 percent greater ability to focus than those with no ability to shift their schedule.

One user, True Crime with Tonia, commented: "When my husband works from home he has to put a blanket on the counter, where his computer sits, for one of our cats. If he doesn't this little menace spends the whole day trying to do a collapse on the keyboard." Temptations posted: "Being a cat dad is your primary job anyway." Made by Nacho added: "Wait is this not normal? Asking for a friend." Newsweek reached out to @projectliryc for comment via TikTok comments. We could not verify the details of the case.

From Colombia to Japan, Oasis fans from around the world descend on Cardiff for historic reunion
OASIS fans jetted in from half the world away for last night's extravaganza — as hundreds of excited followers tried to out-sing each other before the main event. Devotees from all parts of the globe were there to pay homage to Manchester's finest as Noel and Liam Gallagher reunited on stage for the first time since in 16 years. 8 8 8 Punters warming up in Bonnie Rogues on St Mary Street before the gig at Cardiff's Principality Stadium gave their best renditions of Supersonic and Cigarettes & Alcohol as the sun blazed down. Across the road, drinkers outside of O'Neill's belted out Stand By Me and Roll With It as banter flowed as to who was the loudest. Oliver Cheetham, 24, from Sheffield spoke for many when he said: 'You won't get this atmosphere anywhere else because we're all here for the same thing, Oasis.' Abril Sabia, 23, had jetted in from Argentina to see them, spending £3,000 on air fare and tickets for five gigs. She palled up with Spaniard Nacho, 22. She said: 'I was a huge Beatles fan and I wanted to download Stand By Me by John Lennon but I accidentally downloaded the Oasis song and I was like, 'God this is good'. I've loved them ever since.' Arim Park, 18, and 28-year-old Yeju Cho flew 5,500 miles from Seoul, South Korea. They also first came across the band on YouTube. Janneth Duenus, 38, made a 5,000-mile odyssey from Colombia, forking out £3,000 on flights, two gigs and a six-month visa. She said: 'It's my first time in the UK and the first time I'll see the band. "Oasis are amazing. Noel's compositions are profound and marked the entire generation.' Oasis fans line the streets on Cardiff ahead of eagerly awaited first reunion gig 8 8 Honda software engineer Hiro Iwane, 36, made a 8,660-mile trip and spent more than £7,000. He said: 'When I was 14 years old I got my first CD album. 'I was desperate to get tickets for today in case they broke up. 'It had to be the first day!' American Cameron Sutton, 22, said: 'I came from Virginia. 'I didn't want to miss this first night.' Chang Seop Lim, 31, from Suwon, South Korea, was outside the stadium by 9am. He said: 'Their music has soul. 'I'm very nervous to see them.' Hundreds of fans, including wearing Gallagher-style wigs, got gig ready by singing along to busker Tyler Andrew, 19, as he performed outside the Tiny Rebel pub near the stadium. They piled £5 and £10 notes into his guitar case. He said later: 'I've never raised this much before. 'It shows the power of their music.' A shop selling Oasis merchandise — from parkas to £85 football shirts and £35 bucket hats — opened in the St David's shopping centre, staff restocking throughout the day. Milo Newcombe, 47, from East London, who was going to the gig, said: 'They must be making a fortune. "All that money for a hat that probably costs about a pound to make. Ker-ching.' Anyone hoping to hear the band rehearsing, however, was left wanting when the 74,500-capacity stadium's retractable roof was closed to block out sound. The rush to get in began at 4.13pm when Gates 6 and 7 were thrown open. Carpenter Trev Spencer, 49, from Hampshire's New Forest, who was there pal Nick Robb, also 49, said: 'We paid £350 each for tickets and it's a rip-off but we'd have paid £1,000. 'We just wanted to see Oasis back together.' The support acts were former The Verve lead singer Richard Ashcroft and Liverpudlian indie rockers Cast, who kicked things off. 8 8 8
