“SEALOOK” ON NETFLIX GOES VIRAL
Recommended Videos
A Netflix show called “Sealook” has taken over households, and it turns out the dogs are just as hooked as the kids. The show is built around colors that fall within a dog’s visible spectrum, yellows and bright blues, and uses high-contrast visuals and animal sounds to keep canine viewers locked in. Videos of dogs planted in front of the screen have racked up millions of views, and the segment made a convincing case for queuing it up the next time a pet needs some company.
METALLICA AT THE ALAMODOME
Metallica is heading back to San Antonio in May 2027 for a show at the Alamodome. The announcement dropped just before the segment aired, and the band’s return marks a full decade since they last played the city. Tickets were not yet detailed on air, but the show date is May 22nd, 2027.
MI FAMILIA CORTEZ: CHILE EN NOGADA
In honor of Mexican Independence Day and Hispanic Heritage Month, the owner of Mi Familia Cortez brought one of Mexico’s most storied dishes into the studio: chile en nogada. The history behind it runs deep. The dish was created in Puebla for Agustin de Iturbide after he signed the Treaty of Cordoba, the agreement that secured Mexico’s independence, and the nuns of the Convent of Santa Monica prepared it for him on his return to Mexico City. The poblano pepper is stuffed with a filling of pear, apple, peaches, plantains, raisins, almonds and warm spices like nutmeg and clove, then draped in a walnut cream sauce made with dry sherry, goat cheese and milk, and finished with pomegranate seeds and fresh cilantro. The green, white and red of the finished plate mirror the colors of the Mexican flag. It is best served at room temperature. The dish is available at Mi Familia Cortez locations throughout Hispanic Heritage Month, through October 15th. The restaurants also have weekend brunch Saturday and Sunday, a Monday through Friday lunch buffet, mole, tamales and margaritas on the menu.
SCHLOTZSKY’S NEW PHILLY CHEESESTEAK
Schlotzsky’s is rolling out a new Philly-inspired lineup just in time for football season, and the brand’s ambassador walked through three variations on air. The classic Philly roll features sliced marinated steak, caramelized onions, roasted green peppers and melted white American cheese. The Philly calzone layers in mozzarella and the chain’s signature sauce alongside those same steak and pepper ingredients. The flatbread version adds roasted red peppers and a drizzle of chipotle mayo for a little heat. Beyond the new items, Schlotzsky’s can handle catering for watch parties and tailgates of any size, from a few lunchboxes to trays scaled for 60 people, with hot sourdough sandwiches, chilled subs, salads, Cinnabon items and drinks including strawberry lemonade and iced tea. There are 16 locations in and around San Antonio, ranging from Kerrville to Seguin. Orders can be placed ahead at schlotzkys.com.
PUPPY FOOD BANK: ONE MILLION POUNDS MILESTONE
The Puppy Food Bank, a San Antonio-based nonprofit that supplies food to no-kill rescue shelters, reached a milestone this week: one million pounds of dog and cat food distributed since going public in January 2023. What began as local support for shelters in San Antonio, Corpus Christi, Austin and the Dallas-Fort Worth area has expanded to 14 states, now serving more than 34 no-kill rescues nationwide. The organization feeds cats as well as dogs. September is pledge month, and a local supporter has issued a dollar-for-dollar match on up to $80,000 raised before October 4th. Donations, including one-time gifts, monthly memberships and auction bids, all count toward that goal. More information and donations are at puppyfoodbank.org. Two dogs from Wilson County Adoption and Rescue Services, a two-year-old chihuahua and a five-year-old pug who was found abandoned on a highway, were also on hand and are available for adoption through that organization.
NATIONAL GED DAY
September 16th is National GED Day, and the president of GED Testing Service joined the show to explain why the date matters. The observance has two purposes: celebrating the learners, graduates, educators and supporters moving through the program, and recognizing what GED holders contribute to their communities. About 700,000 people are working toward a GED at any given time, many of them juggling jobs, parenting and caregiving alongside their studies. The organization has built a mobile app called GED and Me that uses an AI tutor so students can study whenever they have a spare moment. A companion platform, GED Career Connect, is designed to link graduates with employers in fields that are actively hiring, with healthcare cited as a strong example. Visit GED.com or download the GED and Me app to get started. The conversation is also happening online under the hashtag National GED Day.
