Seal Pups: Ferociously Cute and Worth Protecting | Expedition Raw

Posted by

“It is, of course, important to maintain some academic separation from your study subject as a scientist,” says wildlife biologist and National Geographic grantee, Douglas Krause, although it doesn’t take him long to concede: “But there’s no getting around the fact that Antarctic fur seals are ridiculously cute. It’s exactly the same feeling that you would get walking down the street if an adorable Labrador puppy walked by—you can’t help yourself.”

Chef’s Night Out: La Leche

Posted by

Chef Alfonso Cadena is basically a genius. On a normal day, he works at his amazing restaurant, La Leche, in Puerto Vallarta—one of Mexico’s most beautiful beach cities—and when he’s done with work, he goes up to the second-floor bar and has some drinks with his friends. When he’s totally wasted, he hops on a small stage on one side of the restaurant and plays music with his band for some of his diehard foodies, and finally, when he’s tired, he goes out to the parking lot, has a burrito in==from one of his food trucks, and calls it a night.

We wanted to try some of that Mexican beach lifestyle with him for this week’s Chef’s Night Out and all we can say is: genius. Fucking genius.
