Shay Spence Is Here!
Chef, Author, Writer, TikTokker and all-around human delight Shay Spence is here this week to discuss, well, EVERYTHING! His new book, Meals You Can't Mess Up, is such a genius concept that i WILL be cooking from it when it drops September 22 (buy it now!!), but even more thrilling is that we got to chat about his career, his Disney World faves and make him super uncomfortable as I yell at him to his face about how talented he is ◡̈ (Who else is a professional chef, magazine food editor, social media king, recipe whiz and theme park expert?! NOBODY BUT SHAY!!) From the inside scoop on his Dollywood-inspired cinnamon bread recipe to the Disney World restaurant we BOTH dread dining at (you'll never guess which), this one is an absolute joy that i cannot wait to share with you all!

A First-Timer's Guide To Halloween Horror Nights (with Universal's Lora Sauls!)
Too scared to experience Halloween Horror Nights? Never fear!! Lora Saul (Assistant Director of Creative Development and Show Direction for Art and Design, Entertainment at Universal Orlando Resort) is on Very Amusing this week to share EXACTLY what you need to know if you fear HHN fog. Lora's been working on Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Orlando Resort for almost THIRTY YEARS, which means she knows the event inside and out. (The Queen of Halloween creating the scares and then telling us how to survive them?! ICONIC!!) The thing is, even if you're not a horror fan, Universal's Halloween Horror Nights is basically a temporary theme park with state-of-the-art experiences that you kinda sorta need to see. And if you're too scared, I get it!! But Lora's about to drop some serious knowledge on why it's worth a shot, even if you're a fraidy cat…because she was once one too!!
