advertisement advertisement advertisement advertisement advertisement From coast to coast, there are plenty of amazing restaurants for America’s foodies to salivate over; a more amusing pastime, however, may be marveling at the truly bad ones on The Food Network’s Restaurant: Impossible (is that a smelly petting zoo in the back of your Italian restaurant? Why yes, it is.) Each episode features a restaurant on the skids and the tough task of setting things right before total catastrophe strikes–all in just two days.

advertisement advertisement advertisement When the prison door shut, my future shrank. I was a teenager who’d just made a major mistake, and now was sentenced to a year in a young offenders institute in the UK. You may think you know the brutality of prison, but unless you’ve experienced it, no words can describe how torturous it is. advertisement advertisement My turnaround began because my family fought for my survival. Through their advocacy, I sat for my A-levels (exams high schoolers take in the UK) while in prison and once I was released, my grandfather helped me find my first job by introducing me to a newspaper editor he knew. Rather than judge me, this editor asked me what interested me and what I wanted to do with my life.
