Famous Food

Take ex Carl's Jr. hotties Kate Upton, Audrina Patridge, and Charlotte McKinney ... and their combined age would still be younger than Mary Bartnicki -- who's gunning to be the next burger babe.

Mary -- 1/3 of the 'Golden Sisters' -- is 83 years old and throwing her Depends in the ring to be the new face of Carl's Jr. She's serious and even put together a sexy car wash vid to prove she can still work it, by which we mean ... chew a burger.

Fun Fact: Carl's Jr. gives senior citizens a 10% discount.

George Foreman is no phony -- telling TMZ Sports he still LOVES his legendary grill ... but there's only one thing he cooks on that bad boy these days -- and it ain't beef!

Foreman was out in NYC when we asked him about the cooking device that reportedly made the boxing superstar more than $200 MILLION since it hit the market in 1994.

Manny Pacquiao ran away from home at the age of 12 ... when he caught his father eating his pet dog ... this according to his trainer Freddie Roach.

Roach was talking to Yahoo! Sports about how the boxer's family struggled with poverty in the Philippines when he was a child -- and apparently, things were so tough ... Manny's father cooked the family dog for food.

When Manny realized what had happened, he ran away from home -- and began to live on the streets.

"He slept in a cardboard box. He fought his way through all this, turned pro at 14, and look at the man he is today," Roach said.

Jameis Winston will NEVER have to steal shellfish ever again ... 'cause a Tampa restaurant is promising to hook up Winston with more crabs than a Tijuana hooker -- as long as the Bucs draft him #1.

Here's the deal ... there's this place in Tampa called Skipper's Smokehouse that's FAMOUS for it's crab legs -- and the owner of the joint happens to be an FSU alum who graduated in '68.

The people at Skipper's told us they're well aware of Jameis' penchant for crab -- and want the QB to know, if he signs with the Bucs ... they're gonna "hook him up" with all the legs he can eat.

Jameis Winston says he's NO CRAB LEG THIEF -- claiming the only reason he walked out of the grocery store without paying for 'em was because he THOUGHT an employee had "hooked him up."

Winston's explanation was featured on ESPN's "Draft Academy" ... a documentary-style show which followed the QB into a meeting with Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh.

During the meeting, Winston says he wasn't so much stealing ... as much as he was blatantly violating NCAA rules by accepting free stuff.

Two major Philadelphia rivals -- Pat's and Geno's -- are finally uniting on something ... they both have no idea what the Eagles were thinking in signing Tim Tebow.

We spoke with managers from both of the legendary Philly cheesesteak joints (Anthony from Geno's and Tommy from Pat's) ... who tell us they're just trying to make sense of the whole thing.

Anthony from Geno's -- "We’re all very confused by this whole off-season. Last time I checked you have to be able to throw in order to be a successful QB."

Tommy from Pat's -- "We can only play one QB at a time, and now we have one that hasn't played since 2012!? Does he still know how to play? I don’t know where Chip Kelly is going with this one."

A true chef can transform any ingredient into a culinary masterpiece ... like this guy on Discovery's "Naked and Afraid" ... who whipped up some pesky rodents into Michelin Star worthy rat kebabs.

In a upcoming episode of the new season, Darrin Reay and Angeles Narduzzi strip down and survive 21 days on Koh Mook Island in Thailand ... which also happens to be the home of a ton of rats.

Darrin is happy to capitalize on the plethora of available food ... but vegetarian Angeles isn't sold.

The premiere is Sunday at 10 PM ET. You've been warned.

Gwyneth Paltrow lasted 4 days as a poor person, caving to cravings that included chicken and black licorice.

The Goopster attempted to live on $29 a week, like someone on food stamps. Her food selections were not exactly the staple of the needy -- cilantro, avocados, scallions, kale and limes.

But it all went to hell when she just had to have chicken, fresh vegetables and more. She posted on Goop, "in fully transparency ... half a bag of black licorice."

Gwyneth gave herself a C minus.

On Wednesday, her rep said ..."She already finished the challenge last week." The rep never mentioned she fell 3 days short.

But Gwyneth herself admits she's really bad at poor.

Bobby Flay just gave a big clue why his estranged wife is so angry about their prenup ... because he's looking for a new place to live that costs millions and millions of dollars.

We're told Flay was on the hunt Monday for a bachelor pad in the Sterling Mason building in the Tribeca. There are 4 units available, ranging in price from $9.65 million to $24.5 million.

The building's so fancy it has a library lounge, courtyard, a private fitness room (with yoga studio, of course), a children's playroom and, remarkably for the area, an underground parking garage.

Flay and wife Stephanie March separated last month, and he pulled the trigger on divorce papers last week.

He looks ... pensive.

One divorce, one trench coat, one killer pair of heels, mix in equal parts anger and confidence ... and you get Stephanie March out Monday afternoon in New York City.

March -- who is in the middle of a nuclear divorce with Bobby Flay -- was not in a chatty mood ... she's letting her lawyers do all the talking for now.

As TMZ first reported, March is fuming over the prenup and Bobby cancelling her credit card.

Whether it's chump change or not, Bobby Flay says his estranged wife Stephanie March willingly signed their prenup so she has to live by it.

Sources close to Bobby -- who filed for divorce last week -- say the chef doesn't understand how Stephanie's lawyer can say the prenup is unenforceable and immoral since she had every right to reject it 10 years ago. After all, Bobby had been married twice before and merely tried to protect his assets and business in case the 3rd time was not a charm.

As we reported, Stephanie gets $5k a month in spousal support plus a million bucks for rights to the house along with moving expenses.

Bobby also takes issue with Stephanie's lawyer, who claims the famous chef is trying to bully his estranged wife into a settlement. We're told Bobby is the one who feels bullied and threatened by Stephanie's lawyer who is threatening to publicly air dirty laundry, including allegations of marital infidelity.

We're told Bobby is willing to reach some sort of compromise, but Stephanie's making that difficult by continuing to attack him and his character.

Bobby Flay's estranged wife says the famous chef is a brute who's using his fortune to bully her into an immoral settlement.

Stephanie March has declared war on Bobby, who filed for divorce last week. Her lawyer fired off a letter to Bobby's attorney, expressing outrage because the chef sent Stephanie a measly $5,000 check for monthly support. TMZ broke the story, they signed a prenup in 2005 which established support at $5k a month.

Stephanie's lawyer returned the $5,000 check, along with some choice words -- "We regard the support provisions of the pre-marital agreement as unenforceable (not to mention morally reprehensible)."

It gets worse. Stephanie's lawyer says Bobby was "bullying through economic warfare" by cancelling the credit card she uses for household expenses, such as groceries and pet supplies.

And there's more. Her lawyer says Bobby's trying to pressure her into issuing a joint press release saying the split is amicable. Her lawyer says that's a lie, in no small part because Bobby's demanding she sign a settlement agreement or else she can't stay in the marital home with her sick mother.

Her lawyer ends by suggesting Bobby was unfaithful, but acknowledges he denies it. Her lawyer then says Bobby tried to sling mud by suggesting Stephanie had an affair, which she says is an absolute lie.

Bobby Flay is more than happy to pay his soon to be ex-wife Stephanie March spousal support ... thing is, she says it's chump change so she's fighting him.

As TMZ reported the divorcing couple signed a prenup when they married in 2005. Sources connected with the couple and familiar with the situation tell TMZ ... the prenup provides Stephanie gets $5,000 a month for 5 years.

We're told the "Law and Order: SVU" star is incredulous because her camp believes Bobby's net worth is north of $20 million, and Stephanie believes she was an important part of his success.

And there's something even more galling to Stephanie. We're told the prenup provides Bobby -- who filed for divorce Friday -- the marital house, valued at around $8 million. The prenup only requires Bobby to pay her $1 million to buy her out of the house. She also gets $50k so she can pack up her stuff and move.

Bobby Brown is leaving Bobbi Kristina for the first time in more than 2 months -- boarding a jet for Los Angeles to fulfill a contractual obligation to soul food ... TMZ has learned.

According to our sources, Brown is flying Friday afternoon to appear at the Soul Food Festival near downtown L.A. It may sound crass for Bobby to leave his daughter's bedside for the festival -- but it was out of his hands.

We're told the deal to perform at the event -- along with Salt-N-Pepa, El DeBarge and Stephanie Mills -- was signed long before Bobbi Kristina was hospitalized. As we first told you, Bobby has the same situation with an upcoming mini-tour in Australia ... where the promoter is demanding he perform.

Bobby's not just singing and dancing, by the way -- he's also cooking with his own line of BBQ sauce. No joke.

Original, sweet & spicy, or maybe Boston blend ... it's your prerogative!

Bobby Flay has pulled the trigger and filed for divorce, TMZ has learned, and we're told their prenup has already become a major bone of contention.

Bobby says in his legal docs his 10 year marriage to Stephanie March has "broken down irretrievably." TMZ broke the story the couple separated 3 weeks ago.

Turns out they signed a prenup when they married back in 2005 and we're told it really favors Mr. Flay. Our sources say it was signed in 2005, when Bobby was already a multi-millionaire and Stephanie was a mid-level actress.

They have no kids together, so we're told they're squabbling over property. We're told she's mighty unhappy with the prenup.

Sources connected with Bobby say he's "heartbroken" the marriage has come to an end, but still cares for Stephanie.

Bella Thorne knows what happens when you mess with Miley Cyrus and her man ... so she's sending a preemptive message to Miley's fans.

Bella and Patrick Schwarzenegger were photographed leaving the Mud Hen Tavern in Los Angeles Wednesday night ... no hand holding or kissing ... but lately when Patrick gets photographed with another girl, Miley fans go berzerk.

Bella is no fool ... she posted a photo of her and Patrick during dinner and captioned it, "With my homie @patrickschwarzenegger if you aren't already following him you should :)) disclaimer *** we are just friends :)"

Hopefully that's enough to keep the wolves at bay.
