You remember Milk Burger, right? It's the little burger spot in Spanish Harlem that set up shop by not only passing off a stolen Shake Shake burger photo as their own, but also facsimiles of Shake Shack's menu, website, and general aesthetic. And you'll recall that the whole thing was really just the work of an errant intern? In the latest, hardly believable chapter of the Milk Burger saga, Ottavia Bourdain, wife of Anthony, was apparently hungry last week. This happens. With no Shake Shack in sight, Bourdain ordered some Milk Burger and tweeted about it. As a result of Bourdain's 18,000 followers on Twitter, Milk Burger owner Erik Mayor now says business is suddenly skyrocketing. "There are people who wouldn't normally come to Spanish Harlem rolling up in a Mercedes-Benz," he tells DNA Info. "When I ask them 'Where did you find out about us?' They're like 'I found out from Ottavia.'" We'll be more impressed when a motorcade creeps down Second Avenue and Michelle Obama stops by for one of your "Guac Burgers." [DNA Info, Earlier]

As you probably know, the violence in London is only getting worse, so much so that riots rolled right up to the front door of a fancy restaurant yesterday: Cooks at the two-Michelin-starred Notting Hill restaurant the Ledbury bravely defended guests with rolling pins and fryer baskets last night when rioters entered during service and began robbing customers. "Around the fourth dish of the tasting course, there were loud bangs outside," writes one food blogger who was on the scene. Soon, masked and hooded looters entered the restaurant and smashed its windows, demanding guests' jewelry and phones.

The Times takes a look at the remaining lobstermen who continue to set pots in the Long Island Sound, even though the hauls have all but zeroed out during the last twelve years. In 1999, there were at least three-dozen lobstermen setting traps, some of whom brought back 400 pounds of lobster a day. Now those hauls are in the low double-digits, the Times reports. Still, the three lobstermen quoted in the article, ranging in age from 70 to 71, still set out every morning with an "I'll-retire-when-I'm-dead" mentality.
