Fans of Jack's Dining Room are sure to be screaming "Yes chef!" after it was just announced that the food brand struck a nearly $25 million deal with the studio behind "Yellowstone."

The deal between 101 Studios and Yes Chef Group -- which is co-founded by Jack's Dining Room host Jack Goldburg and Liam Henning -- will usher in the launch of Yes Chef Studios.

This new studio will be focused on developing pretty much everything under the creative sun -- from new TV shows, to movies, to YouTube shows ... you name it!

Former "Amazing Race" contestant Tim Janus, who competed alongside Joey Chestnut on the show's 30th season, is dead.

Tim, who was known in the competitive eating circuit as Eater X, died Sept. 16 following a cancer diagnosis ... his publicist confirmed to Major League Eating.

He climbed the sport's ranks to eventually become the No. 2 competitive eater in the world ... behind only Joey.

Hope y'all are hungry heading into the weekend, 'cuz Carmen Electra is lookin' like a fine-apple, and if her latest fruit photos don't appease your appetite, then you clearly haven't worked up a proper one!

Check out the gallery ... at 54 years old, the "Baywatch" babe went topless on a balcony ... covering her nipples with fruit ... and then added a banana to the mix, because apparently one serving of fruit wasn't enough.

See it for your own eyes -- Carmen's getting her potassium fix, sitting pretty while seductively biting into a banana.

An influencer who's basically the Steven Spielberg of food review videos went viral for a KFC review ... a shocking result for a segment he thought was so bland, he almost didn't post.

Joe Desaavedra, AKA Joe is Hungry, tells TMZ ... he's baffled his review of KFC's popcorn chicken has racked up more than 17 million views on X alone ... because he thought it was nothing special.

Before his KFC stop went super viral, Joe built a respectable audience in the crowded food reviewer space by taking his duties as seriously as a heart attack ... and filming his fast food truth as if he were freaking Christopher Nolan.

It's National Ice Cream Day ... and you're not the only one screaming for ice cream ... Hollywood is joining the chorus too!!!

That's because even A-listers aren't immune to a little sweet treat, especially as temps pick up this summer.

Celebs like Sydney Sweeney and Ryan Seacrest have been snapped indulging in a little ice cream. Tyra Banks couldn't be beat, though ... triple-fisting three cones at once!

The recent explosive diarrhea parasite taking over the nation might have people saying "no quiero Taco Bell" ... but a familiar tiny canine -- or rather his voice actor -- says that's not the slogan he would use after dining there.

Carlos Alazraqui -- the voice of the former Taco Bell Chihuahua -- tells TMZ ... he ate at Taco Bell last night and didn't come down with a case of the runs.

Carlos ordered the Crunchy Beef Burrito with nacho fries and two tacos -- which contained lettuce, the main suspect in the outbreak -- and he walked away happy and full ... telling us, "I survived!"

He also joked he might have gotten special treatment to make sure his food was safe because he was the voice of the famous dog from the 1997 commercial.

It's International Sushi Day, so we're serving up celebs who love getting their sushi fix with some fishy photos and pix!

Meg Thee Stallion looked like a reel catch posing with her rolls ... Hannah Godwin and her fresh finds are soy happy together ... and Kara Del Toro's seductive snap is giving, "Miso Fine!"

Florida residents on a late-night taco run were treated to a chimichanga special ... but not the mouth-watering kind.

Here's the deal ... the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office says it received a call very early Thursday morning from Taco Bell employees reporting what the sheriff's office has jokingly said was a man with his "chimichanga" out, according to local outlet WFTV.

The office says authorities arrived and allegedly discovered Brandon Irizarry -- a 28-year-old man -- outside the restaurant with multiple pairs of pants pulled down.

Gordon Ramsay says the only thing that's full of s*** is the TikToker who started the social media smear campaign against his restaurant.

We caught up with the celebrity chef in New York City on Tuesday ... and he's calling BS on the viral video.

ICYMI, a customer complained that a dog took a dump on a pee pad inside the London location of his Street Pizza restaurant. But an eyewitness said the same as the chef ... the pup didn't actually go to the bathroom at all.

Gordon tells us they've reviewed the CCTV footage and "under no circumstances" did the dog drop a deuce ... over even pee, for that matter.

There was a huge fight at a Texas burger joint over the weekend that's gone viral ... and we're learning more about it.

Video of several women beating the hell out of one another spread on social media like wildfire Monday ... and it's pretty tough to watch, it's so brutal. There are kicks and punches all over the place -- while employees just stand by, taking video on their phones.

Waco Police tell TMZ ... officers responded to Whataburger just before 6 AM Sunday ... but everyone was gone by the time officers arrived. They're aware of the video and have seen it ... so there's plenty of evidence if any of the girls come back!

Chef Croux Koplin isn’t just cooking up a storm at Coachella … he’s cashing in big time!

The private chef tells TMZ he and his tight-knit crew of six -- including another chef, an assistant and three helpers -- pulled in a sizzling $11K during the first weekend … all while bouncing between luxe desert estates and influencer-packed homes.

Croux says he locked down three separate gigs … starting with a marathon booking to cook for 15 to 17 German influencers from Wednesday through Monday across three different private homes.

President Trump is convinced drinking soda kills cancer cells in the body because pouring soda on grass kills the grass ... at least according to Dr. Oz.

Trump's Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Administrator was on a podcast with his boss' son, Donald Trump Jr., when the topic shifted to the Prez's love for Diet Coke.

Dr. Oz says Trump makes a point to drink Diet Coke and eat candy in front of him and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. ... and tell them why the junk food is anything but.

It seems someone wanted more than just a piece of that KitKat bar ... because they made off with 12 tons of the chocolate bars, the company confirmed over the weekend.

A Nestle spokesperson joked about the thieves' "exceptional taste" in a statement, saying ... "We’ve always encouraged people to have a break with KITKAT — but it seems thieves have taken the message too literally and made a break with more than 12 tonnes of our chocolate."

KitKat themselves took to Instagram to shed some light on the heist and post an official statement.

It explained the chocolate was nabbed during a distribution run between their Central Italy factory and the shipment's destination in Poland. KitKat added ... "There are no concerns for consumer safety, and supply is not affected."

Five Guys CEO Jerry Murrell would much rather give workers a big bonus than take a bullet.

He doled out $1.5M in bonuses to his employees after a birthday burger BOGO deal completely backfired ... and seemed to crack a Luigi Mangione joke in the process.

In a phone call with Fortune, he quipped ... "I didn’t want anybody shooting me in the back or anything."

When the promotion launched last month -- in celebration of Five Guys' 40th birthday -- stores were so mobbed, they ran out of food ... which stressed out crews and pissed off customers.

Murrell mused they "really screwed it up," saying ... "We had no idea that we were going to get that kind of response."

He joked he almost used the money to spoil his wife with "a new fur coat," adding ... "I spent it on [the bonus] instead. She still looks at me like I’m stupid."

But jokes aside, he said the decision to give back to his employees was "worth it," noting ... "They worked so hard. They were so overwhelmed."
