Restaurants & Dining

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – June 17, 2026 – IHG Hotels & Resorts has kicked off the fourth edition of its Star Chef Gourmet Tour across Greater China, and this year's opening chapter puts a single, humble ingredient in the spotlight: rice. Culinary teams from nearly 50 hotels are taking part in a three-part series — Origin, Authenticity and Craft — designed for travelers and food lovers who want their hotel stays to double as cultural discovery. The first chapter, Journey of Origin, launched at Crowne Plaza Hangzhou Science City, where chefs from across East and South China built an entire tasting menu around rice's role in Chinese cuisine. For anyone who books a stay expecting room service and little else, it's a reminder that hotel dining has quietly become one of the more interesting reasons to choose where you sleep.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 27, 2025 – Taco Bell’s fan-favorite Quesarito is back on menus nationwide for a limited time, pairing holiday cravings with a long-running sports-internet moment starring NBA MVP Nikola Jokić.

A Comeback Built by Fan Demand

If you’ve ever missed an old menu favorite like it was a seasonal tradition, Taco Bell is clearly betting you’re not alone. The brand says the Quesarito officially returned starting December 18, bringing back a menu item that has inspired petitions, tributes, and years of “please bring it back” energy. It’s the kind of comeback that hits differently in the holidays, when comfort food becomes part of the mood.

Taco Bell also leans into the idea that this return is a “gift” to fans—especially those who remember how the Quesarito became bigger than a single limited-time item. The message is simple: people asked, loudly and repeatedly, and now it’s here again.
