TGI Fridays Is Pouring It on Strong with Bold New Menu

TGI Fridays

TGI Fridays®, the iconic American bar and grill, is bringing flavor and fun in a big way with a bold new menu. Launching nationwide today, the revamped offerings elevate the guest experience with boozy, saucy indulgences that lean into Fridays’ flavor-first, irreverent spirit. The menu upgrade is the latest chapter in TGI Fridays’ ongoing comeback story—one that’s already gained traction among loyal followers and industry insiders. “Our guests told us they wanted more flavor and more fun. We delivered,” says TGI Fridays CEO Ray Blanchette. “This new menu is playful, shareable and full of energy—exactly the vibe people come to Fridays for. It’s just the beginning of our strategy to bring bold, vibrant flavors from our global footprint to our U.S. consumers.” At the center of the culinary upgrade: a crowd-pleasing favorite reintroduced with a twist—mozzarella sticks “sauced” with three bold Fridays flavors: FRANKS RedHot© Buffalo, Garlic Parmesan and legendary, Fridays-only Whiskey Glaze. Guests can also opt for the Original with all three sauces on the side. When it comes to cheese sticks and cocktails, Fridays isn’t following trends—they’re setting them. “Fridays is where mozzarella sticks went from just another bar snack to a must-have,” says Blanchette. “We kept our classics and layered on big flavors, so whether you’re in the mood for something familiar or feeling adventurous, our menu hits the spot.” And the drinks? Just as bold. The brand that introduced the singles bar concept put its cocktail heritage front and center with seven new drinks crafted to pack a punch. Signature beverages come with two-ounce pours, from Jack’s New Fashioned to the mega-sized eLITe —a riff on the Long Island Iced Tea Fridays invented in 1965—and the energy-fueled Turbo Toro. It’s a celebration in true Fridays fashion. Also new: the Big Queso Energy Burger, layered with roasted jalapeños, pico de gallo, cheddar and poblano queso, plus more queso for dipping (over a quarter pound of cheese!). Housemade Loaded Tots, amped-up tater tots with bacon, green onion and a new dip-everything-in-it TGI Sauce, round out the new offerings. Prioritizing guest experience, the new menu also features upgraded ingredients and simplified builds for faster service and greater consistency—part of a company-wide commitment to flavor, execution and giving guests what they crave most. Guests can experience the new menu at Fridays’ participating U.S. locations or head to @tgifridays to follow the social fun. About TGI Fridays As the world's first casual bar and grill, TGI Fridays is the birthplace of flair, freedom and celebration, bringing people together to socialize and experience "That Fridays Feeling™," a sense of celebrating the fun in everyday moments, big and small. For 60 years, Fridays has been lifting spirits worldwide and today serves up high-quality, classic American food and iconic drinks backed by authentic and genuine service at 391 restaurants in 41 countries worldwide.

News Release

Self-Therapy is Free!

The Stuttering Foundation

To mark National Stuttering Awareness Week (May 12-18), our classic book, Self-Therapy for the Stutterer, is now available as a 65-minute film from The Stuttering Foundation ( StutteringHelp.org ). It is available free to everyone through the end of National Stuttering Awareness Week by visiting our streaming video library at http://www.stutteringhelp.org/streaming and using the promotion code: NSAW25. Based on the timeless self-help book, now in its 11 th edition, by Stuttering Foundation Founder, Malcolm Fraser, this new video, Self-Therapy for Those Who Stutter, provides a powerful message to all who view it: If you stutter, you do not need to surrender helplessly to your speech difficulty because you can change the way you talk. There is no quick and easy way to tackle the problem, but with the right approach, self-therapy can be effective! Noted speech therapist, Dr. Charles Van Riper, praised this important guide and the concepts it explains: “There are always some who stutter who are unable to get professional help and others who do not seem to be able to profit from it. There are some who prefer to be their own therapist. Malcolm Fraser has provided guidance for those who must help themselves. Knowing well from his own experience as a stutterer the difficulties of self-therapy, he outlines a series of objectives and challenges that should serve as a map for the person who is lost in the dismal swamp of stuttering and wants to find a way out.” “While there are many differing opinions today about stuttering therapy, one thing is for sure, the tried and true techniques in this video have been effective for decades,” said Bob O’Brien, producer of the film. “When I first read Malcolm Fraser’s book, I was struck by how it reads like a self-training program. I knew then it needed to be made into a video, and that it would have a great impact on the audience.” Tom Sharstein, co-founder and chairman of the World Stuttering Network, demonstrated the techniques introduced by Malcom Fraser and shared his own personal experience with stuttering throughout the video. “Malcolm Fraser’s concepts are timeless, and this book changed my life,” said Sharstein. “When I was asked to be part of this project, I had to dig back many years to the dark ages of my stutter, and hopefully through this video, you'll be able to see my progression. The techniques laid out in this film will help you obtain smoother speech, if you want it.” A trusted source of information on stuttering, Stuttering Foundation materials are as close as your nearest public library. For decades, The Stuttering Foundation has made its books and videos available for free to public libraries across the country. Today, through the generosity of benefactors, more than 16,000 libraries shelve these materials. Public libraries can request the DVD free of charge by submitting the updated request form. About the Stuttering Foundation Malcolm Fraser, a successful businessman who struggled with stuttering, established the nonprofit Stuttering Foundation in 1947 and endowed it throughout his lifetime. The Foundation provides free online resources at StutteringHelp.org for people who stutter and their families, as well as support for research into the causes of stuttering.

Air|Water Driven by Mobil 1 Celebrates Another Successful Porsche Event

Luftgekuhlt

With the third annual Air|Water Driven by Mobil 1 event in the books, the organizers would like to thank the attendees, car-owning entrants, marketing partners and exhibitors who combined to create yet another unparalleled success. And despite some rain showers, nothing could dampen the spirits of the fans who came together on April 26 in Costa Mesa, CA to share their passion for all things Porsche. As the presenting sponsor, Mobil 1 placed historic and significant cars throughout the 150-acre site, focusing on racing success from rally to endurance favorites. The striking Troy Lee Design-liveried 2024 992 GT3 Cup and 2011 997 GT3 RSR were fan favorites among the storied Mobil 1-sponsored cars. Guest of honor was the 1985 McLaren MP4/2B powered by the legendary 1.5-liter V6 turbo Porsche-TAG engine. The hero car displayed in the amphitheater powered Alain Prost to his first of four world championships, beating teammate Niki Lauda and claiming five wins in 1985. The scene at Air|Water was carefully set to transport guests back to the ’80s turbo era, flanking the F1 star with turbocharged Porsche 930 and 959 street cars. The McLaren was also surrounded by a stunning display of Paint to Sample (PTS) cars. This Porsche program allows customers to order their vehicle in unique, custom paint colors beyond the standard color palette. A team led by Will Lee (@PTSRS) sourced the most popular PTS colors applied to both air- and water-cooled vehicles, creating a stunning display of vintage and modern PTS Porsches. Another popular destination at Air|Water Driven by Mobil 1 was the Joshua Vides art installation. Working with Creative Director Jeff Zwart, the pair highlighted a Porsche 911 that Joshua recently showcased in Los Angeles. It was paired with a modern specialty 911 ST model, highlighting the themes of both Air and Water. Joshua’s unique black & white style created another dramatic highlight for attendees to enjoy. Visitors who wished to experience the very latest Porsche 911 models could participate in the Porsche Thrill Ride, which debuted at Air|Water. All event ticket holders were able to enjoy a free ride on a specially constructed course that allowed Porsche’s professional drivers to vividly demonstrate the agility and handling prowess of the latest cars. With six vehicles running throughout the show hours, visitors didn’t have to wait long to experience the exhilarating ride. If the Thrill Rides convinced visitors they needed a Porsche of their own, it was a short walk to the Broad Arrow live auction, which saw 55 cars cross the block. In total, the hammer dropped on approximately $15.3 million in sales of some of Porsche’s finest automobiles. The prime lot was a 1989 RUF CTR Yellowbird, chassis #023 uniquely specified with a lightweight interior. Following some strong bids, the CTR Yellowbird sold for $4,680,000. Also receiving plenty of attention was a 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder Weissach Martini Racing, which sold for $2,590,000. A 1966 Porsche 906 went for $1,528,500, with a 1990 Porsche 911 Coupe Reimagined by Singer sold for $1,006,000. Visitors could also browse a number of products and services in the Exhibitor Hall, which was filled with performance specialists, accessories, art, apparel, and more. It proved a popular destination for existing and future Porsche owners. As did the two Air|Water event merchandise areas, selling the latest apparel and collectibles as well as some classic items from previous events. The latest items are also available at air-water.com. After three successful years, we’re delighted to announce Air|Water Driven by Mobil 1 will be back in 2026 and the team is already planning some big surprises for visitors. LUFTGEKÜHLT 11 ANNOUNCED Dedicated exclusively to air-cooled Porsche models, the host city for Luftgekühlt 11 has finally been announced: We’re heading to Durham, NC on October 4. This will be the first time Luft has held the event on the East Coast, giving air-cooled Porsche fans a unique opportunity to experience what makes the Luft event series so special. More details about the venue will be revealed in due course, as well as the date for ticket sales. We should caution that Luft 11 will almost certainly sell-out, so mark your calendars, follow @luftgekuhlt or sign up for the newsletter at luftgekuhlt.com to ensure you hear the news first! AIR|WATER POLAND ANNOUNCED And in another “first,” the team is taking Air|Water Driven by Mobil 1 to Europe. It’s heading to Warsaw, Poland on June 13-14. A specially selected venue will host the key ingredients of air- and water-cooled Porsches, old and new, road and race: the same ingredients that have made the California events so special.

Spring Bird Delivers Transit Buses to MTR for Use in Major Construction Shuttle Operations

Spring Bird

Spring Bird has delivered six heavy-duty New Flyer D40LF transit buses to MTR, providing dedicated shuttle support for a large-scale semiconductor fabrication plant construction site. The buses will be used to safely and efficiently transport construction workers across the expansive site, reflecting the growing demand for durable, high-capacity shuttle solutions in complex infrastructure projects. The multi-bus order, fulfilled over the past year through several transactions, underscores Spring Bird’s rising role as a trusted supplier of transit buses for industrial and operational shuttle services. According to Spring Bird founder Elliott Carson, the deal came together due to “competitive pricing, fast turnaround, and strong warranty support,” all of which aligned with MTR’s high standards and tight project timelines. “This partnership with MTR is a great example of what happens when two teams are aligned in purpose and professionalism,” said Carson. “MTR had a clear vision, high standards, and a fast-moving project — and we were proud to meet that challenge. Supporting their shuttle operations with dependable, work-ready transit buses is exactly what Spring Bird is built to do.” The buses underwent standard make-ready servicing and were delivered ready for immediate deployment. While not retrofitted with low-emission or advanced telematics systems in this case, the New Flyer D40LF platform offers reliable performance, ample standing room, and durability that outperforms most traditional coach or cutaway vehicles under demanding, repetitive shuttle conditions. “Transit buses are built for this kind of work,” said Thomas Hoskins, Director of Operations at Spring Bird. “You’re moving large numbers of people, constantly, in stop-and-go patterns, sometimes on rough or temporary roads. These vehicles are designed for all-day, every-day use. They can load quickly, handle tough environments, and just keep going.” Spring Bird’s Construction Shuttle Service program highlights several key benefits of using heavy-duty transit buses in worksite transportation: Dual-door boarding allows faster loading and unloading compared to coach buses or vans. Low-floor designs increase accessibility and reduce boarding times. Higher standing capacity allows more flexible loading based on shift schedules. Cost-efficiency comes from needing fewer buses and drivers to move more people in less time. For MTR, choosing Spring Bird also meant working with a team that understands the complexity of operational logistics. “We’re proud to support partners like MTR who are helping to build the future—literally,” said Carson. “Whether it’s a long-term city transit solution or a short-term industrial project, our goal is always the same: safe, smart, dependable transportation.” The deal also adds another chapter to the Carson family’s eight-decade history in the transit industry. Spring Bird, founded by Elliott Carson in 2020, is built on a legacy that dates back to 1943 when Dean Carson began providing local transit in Los Angeles. Today, that commitment to innovation, service, and reliability lives on in Spring Bird’s growing footprint across public and private transportation sectors. About Spring Bird Spring Bird is a premier provider of transportation solutions, specializing in the sale, leasing, and service of heavy-duty transit buses and motor coaches. Drawing from the rich Carson family legacy in the transportation industry, Spring Bird offers an inventory of high-quality buses from leading manufacturers and provides customized rehabilitation services, including minor repairs, major overhauls, and technological retrofitting. Dedicated to safety, innovation, and customer satisfaction, Spring Bird addresses the unique needs of cities, transit agencies, and private operators, ensuring reliable and efficient transportation solutions.

Exhibition Dedicated to the Lord of Sipán Showcases Peru’s Extraordinary Cultural Legacy at Expo 2025 Osaka-Kansai

Promperu

The Commission for the Promotion of Peru (PROMPERÚ) has announced that the Peru Pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka-Kansai is captivating international audiences with its temporary exhibition titled “The Mochicas, Sovereigns of the Desert.” Visitors have the opportunity to view replicas of the Lord of Sipán's and the Old Lord of Sipán’s jewelry, meticulously crafted by artisans from the Lambayeque region. The exhibit also features a life-sized representation of the Mochica ruler, along with valuable historical information. This exhibition is the result of a collaborative effort between PROMPERÚ and the Sipán Board of Trustees, a non-profit organization committed to the research, preservation, and promotion of northern Peru’s archaeological heritage. It aims to highlight the extraordinary treasures discovered in the tomb of the Lord of Sipán—considered one of the greatest archaeological finds of the 20th century. To convey the spirit and impressive development of the Mochica culture, the exhibit includes two mannequins created by renowned artist Edilberto Mérida Pilares, based on the facial features of the Mochica people's modern-day descendants. Notably, it is the descendants of this cultural heritage who have faithfully recreated the royal court’s ornaments and ceremonial objects. Lambayeque artisans Armando Gil, Segundo Gonzales, and Johnny Aldana have carefully crafted stunning replicas of Mochica jewelry, allowing the exhibition to present historical figures of the elite richly adorned to reflect their power and status. Peru’s past is represented through the remarkable Mochica civilization and its masterful goldsmithing, while the present is embodied by the people who continue to keep this heritage alive through art and memory. By showcasing this glorious legacy at Expo 2025 Osaka-Kansai—the world’s premier cultural event—Peru not only honors its past but also strengthens its national identity and looks toward the future. Under the theme “Infinite Possibilities,” the Peru Pavilion shares with the world the country’s cultural, historical, and natural richness through a presentation that blends tradition, innovation, and sustainability. The renowned travel, culture, and tourism publication Time Out visited Expo 2025 Osaka-Kansai and selected its top five international pavilions. Peru was among the top five, along with Canada, the United Arab Emirates, the Philippines, and the Netherlands. Peru Export and Tourism Promotion Board (PROMPERÚ).

One of the team members put it like this: “We think DeFi works best when users don’t have to jump through hoops. It should be simple, direct, and totally yours.” What is Cutoshi (CUTO)? Cutoshi is a MemeFi token — fun on the outside, serious on the inside. It blends meme culture with real utility, offering features like cross-chain transactions, non-custodial trading, and a reward system for its community.
