Rick Stein's Secret France filming locations - Radio Times
Rick Stein's search for France's best-kept gastronomic secrets is soon coming to an end, with the last episode set to air on 10th December.
The stunning French locales however – and indeed the local delicacies – are thankfully here to stay, with the grilled sausages of the Pyrenees mountains and the Mediterranean's finest fish only a road trip away.

Episode five, airing on 3rd December, largely takes place at the base of the Pyrenees mountains, specifically the county of Roussillon and the village Eus. The area has a complicated history having been a territory of both France and Catalonia over the years, and is where Rick enjoys snails, sausages and local speciality aioli, a garlic mayo adored in Southern France.
Inside the University of Minnesota's secret meat and cheese market - StarTribune.com
Each Wednesday, in a basement on the University of Minnesota’s St. Paul campus, a line quietly forms just before 2 p.m.
In it are people who have heard — from a friend, from a co-worker — the rumor about a cache of tasty cheese, meat and ice cream sold for cheap out of a makeshift store.
Marcia Holman got word two decades ago and, most months since, has queued up in a campus hallway. “I had a friend who worked on campus and always got cheese and ice cream,” she says, “so she turned us onto it.”

Bills Today | CBS analyst Bill Cowher calls this Buffalo's secret to success
Super Bowl winning head coach and current CBS Sports analyst Bill Cowher praised the Bills on CBS Sports Network this Sunday and called this their secret to success in 2019 so far.
"What you see in this Sean McDermott team is they are a disciplined team. You don't see them beat themselves. They don't turn the football over. You talk about Josh Allen and what he's done in the last six weeks has been amazing. … Defensively, you have a hard time naming some of their defensive starters – Tre'Davious White – but yet they are so coordinated with what they do in the back end."

"It is not difficult to imagine that a witness in a future investigation of alleged presidential misconduct might be deterred from testifying fully or frankly if she believed that her testimony would be readily disclosed to the House for use in impeachment proceedings," Justice Department lawyers wrote in a brief filed on Monday to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
Why the paper on the CRISPR babies stayed secret for so long - MIT Technology Review
More than a year after the birth in China of twin girls known as Lulu and Nana, the world's first gene-edited babies, the affair is still shrouded in secrecy. US researchers and universities have given incomplete or equivocal accounts of their involvement with He Jiankui, the Chinese biophysicist who used CRISPR to make changes to the girls' DNA while they were still embryos.

The reason isn't only that He's project trampled ethics rules. Another major obstacle to a full account is that He has not been seen or heard from for months. He didn't make it to his home village for Chinese New Year in February, his father told us. His lab and data, according to one insider, were seized by Chinese authorities last December, and his original team of 10 has scattered to the four winds.
