Toledo Waiter Stops Ex-Lawyer’s Shootout Aimed at Ex-Wife

In Toledo, a former criminal-defense attorney pulled a handgun during Sabira’s opening night and aimed at his ex-wife, but the weapon didn’t fire because he left the safety on. A quick-thinking waiter, Tracy Cole Jr., tackled him and restrained him as onlookers screamed. Exton, who later testified he intended to pressure the ex-wife, was convicted of attempted murder and two counts of felonious assault, and his law license was suspended. The ex-wife’s identity was not disclosed, and prosecutors called the attack an attempted public execution.

Oshkosh fire at Players Pizza and Pub: electrical fault suspected in HVAC wall

A blaze gutted Players Pizza and Pub in Oshkosh, with firefighters suspecting an electrical fault in a wall tied to the building’s HVAC system; insurance inspectors will confirm. Major damage hit the roof and kitchen, about 100,000 gallons of water were pumped from the basement, and memorabilia was saved. The owners plan to rebuild but have no timeline due to local contractor shortages after a recent tornado, and nearby restaurants have offered temporary work to their employees while recovery proceeds.

Minneapolis Café Ditches Menu Prices to Feed the Neighborhood

A Minneapolis cafe, Post Modern Times, abandoned fixed prices in favor of a pay-what-you-can model during the pandemic and local upheaval. Donors contributed about $500,000, and the restaurant now serves roughly 155 meals a day with about 90% of meals not tied to donations. The owner says the goal is a financially sustainable, living-wage operation that prioritizes community access and could be shared with others, paying staff around $25/hour with a target of $30.

Ask This, Not That: Get the Best Menu Picks Through Conversation

Ask This, Not That: Get the Best Menu Picks Through Conversation

Experts say diners should start a two-way chat with their server to tailor recommendations, focusing on what the restaurant is known for or what they’d order that night to catch what's freshest, rather than simply asking for a personal favorite. By discussing mood, dietary needs, and preferences, guests help servers guide them to dishes that fit their desires, making the experience about quality and fit rather than pushing the priciest item. The piece emphasizes mutual dialogue where the server learns what the guest wants and the guest learns about the menu, with a brief nod to tipping discussions and the need for automatic gratuity disclosures before ordering.
