Over 2 decades of dining!

Meta, the company that owns Facebook, Instagram, Messenger and WhatsApp, launched its new virtual assistant in Australia and several other countries on Friday, following an initial launch in the United States in 2023.

Restaurant Description

It is a form of generative AI that is trained on data available online, and can process language to provide intelligent responses in a chat, including follow-up responses that mimic human conversation. Meta AI is an artificial intelligence tool, used to answer questions in a similar fashion to competitors ChatGPT, Google Gemini and Microsoft Copilot. While the tool is built with Meta's improved Llama 3 open-source language model, it ran into some hiccups, which both amused and frustrated users have shared online. You can't go wrong with any of your meal choices they are all pretty good. "Later on I came out to the back parking lot and saw fire on the Chinese restaurant roof, also the laundromat [so] I woke my neighbours up and dialled triple-0 fire brigade."

Chicken Fingers with Fries

Be sure to try the famed prime rib and if you're feeling especially ravenous, try the larger Jim Brady Cut or the Beef Bowl Cut. Served with Yorkshire pudding and horseradish with whipped cream tableside, the prime rib aroma of sizzling red meat pervades the entire restaurant. It's the perfect place for any steak house aficionado looking for a traditionally delicious dinner. Making Steak Frites is an art, and chef/owner Jacques Fiorentino has perfected it, serving up a perfectly cooked, very lean, sliced Coulotte steak smothered in the house's secret sauce. Beside it are the pommes frites, crispy, piping hot, thin-cut French fries that melt in your mouth.

Jenny's Steakhouse

What's more, some people are simply not here for having an AI assistant automatically integrated to their familiar social media feeds, with many users voicing frustration online about wanting to use the apps without AI. The launch of Meta's artificial intelligence tool has generated a wave of confusion among users as the AI bots descended upon the apps and began interacting with real people. For despite L.A.'s reputation for being the place where skinny actors only eat vegan diets, the steakhouse is a mainstay of Southern California. As with Meta's other products, the AI tool is free, which means the users pay with their data, time and and attention. "I was up late at night as usual, and I heard noises on the roof and I thought there were people trying to break into the shop that I'm living in," he said.

Don't miss the Lobster Mashed Potatoes on the side and consider making a whole meal out of the incredibly decadent Alaskan King Crab Black Truffle Gnocchi side dish. Mastro's has a complete seafood menu as well as veal, pork and lamb dishes on offer for those who are not in the mood for beef. Chef Suzanne Tracht (you may know her from "Top Chef Masters") knows just what people in Los Angeles want — it's meat, cooked up in a variety of ways at Jar. Her Signature Pot Roast will likely be the best you've ever eaten, while choosing one of her various broiled prime-beef offerings (porterhouse, filet, skirt steak, rib eye, etc.) smothered in a lobster Béarnaise sauce will be the best dining decision you've ever made.

Meta AI appears on social media feeds and search bars on Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and Messenger, where it prompts the user with topics and launches a chat when a query is sent. It has also been spotted participating in conversations in Facebook groups. Bots were seen posing as humans with made-up life experiences, including one chatbot that joined a mum's group on Facebook to talk about its "child", exposing some of the pitfalls and limitations of the technology.

Acting Superintendent Gibb said firefighters would work with police throughout the day to determine the cause of the blaze. Love it or hate it, OpenAI's ChatGPT has been around for a year and artificial intelligence is becoming more integrated into everyday life. Meta says the tool can be used "to get things done, learn, create and connect with the things that matter to you". Facebook parent Meta unveiled a new set of artificial intelligence systems that are powering what CEO Mark Zuckerberg calls "the most intelligent AI assistant that you can freely use".

And now under Juan's guidance Chef Jorge is ready to create some of the time honored traditions that our diners have grown to love. Todd, general manager and Carl and Gina's son is third generation restauranteur. He  is on a mission to continue to make Jenny's a great place to eat for another 20+ years.

Retained firefighter Connor Shephard said it was a challenging situation with "heavy smoke" in the street, but a drone gave firefighters a "great advantage" to keep the neighbouring buildings safe. Seven fire trucks and about 20 firefighters worked to contain the flames overnight. Fire and Rescue NSW says two shops have been destroyed by a blaze in the state's north overnight. We acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Australians and Traditional Custodians of the lands where we live, learn, and work. "It is part of a brand that we trust, that we are familiar with, and is already a company that many, many people are very comfortable giving personal data to." Launching the AI assistant as an integrated part of Meta's existing social media platforms could be a huge competitive advantage, he said.

To ensure that you have the ultimate experience with this classic French brasserie dish, L'Assiette offers it in two servings. This keeps the fries from getting cold and soggy, and ensures that the steak is eaten at the perfect temperature, too. Add a Black Truffle Sauce for $14 more and you'll be in foodie heaven. And while they actually do serve a Poisson Frites (fish of the day) and a Portobello Frites for those foolish enough to not eat steak, this convivial place is all about the meat. Ocean Prime Beverly Hills is the eleventh location of the popular Cameron Mitchell seafood and steak restaurants, which opened in November 2014. Prime steaks are broiled to perfection, and there's an extensive wine list and a knowledgeable sommelier to help you choose the perfect pairing.

You'll feel the New Orleans influence when you taste the appetizers, many of which are served up with a spicy Creole Remoulade sauce. Save room for another taste of NOLA for dessert, for the Bread Pudding with Whiskey Sauce comes straight from Ruth's original kitchen. Boa Steakhouse in West Hollywood has been a celebrity magnet since the moment it opened in 2009.

Lawry's opened in 1938 in Beverly Hills, with the standing rib roast as the only featured entree on the menu. Today Lawry's exists worldwide with additional entrees available, yet the menu remains traditionally simple with a focus on beef made to order. Home of the original Lawry's seasoning, the seasoning and sauces are now available for sale at many retailers.

Be prepared to see paparazzi staked out by the front door, and don't be surprised when Nicki Minaj or Kim Kardashian are seated nearby. Everyone who is anyone goes to Boa, so if it's star watching you want along with an excellent cut of beef, then Boa is the place. Choose a 40-day dry aged New York Strip, a premium Japanese Wagyu cut or spice it up with their signature Cajun Cowboy Rib Eye. There's plenty of "surf" to go with your "turf," too, with a whole Maine lobster on offer most days. Ask for a table on the lovely large patio to spend a perfect night under the stars. Whether you want yours blood rare or barely pink inside, lean and mean or marbled and juicy, there's a steakhouse in Los Angeles that's just waiting to slice you up a just-right piece of meat.

Chicken Cesar

There's a slight Asian tinge to everything they make at Jar, perhaps influenced by Tracht's stint at the renowned restaurant Jozu and definitely because of Chef de Cusine's Preech Narkthong's guiding hand. When Chianina Steakhouse burst on the Long Beach dining scene in December 2013, everyone who loves beef in Southern California rejoiced. For the Italian-influenced restaurant began by serving top-grade Piedmontese beef and other prime meats, paired with luscious risottos, classic Caesar salad or iceberg wedges and plenty of other sides and starters. But then in August 2014, Chianina (pronounce it "KEY-a-nina") announced the arrival of its first Chianina beef, the famed Italian-origin white cattle known for their leanness and flavor. So be sure to get there soon after the "Whole Animal" arrives, or you'll have to wait until the following month.

There is a gourmet kitchen with Thermador appliances and a 90-bottle wine refrigerator. They come with a 4,400-square-foot home that features all the trappings of luxurious suburban-style living, including a grand entry, formal living and dining rooms and a walnut-paneled den. To Steve Martin, whose love for his daughter was both heart-wrenching and hilarious. The house garnered even more big screen cache in 2005, when it was used (front and inside, too!) in the film Guess Who starring Ashton Kutcher and Bernie Mac. We get a brief view of one of the bathrooms here with the “wedding swans” floating in the tub. The unexpected snow storm has made it too cold for them to be outdoors.

The sadness of giving her away, and of realizing that she was no longer a little girl. He may have been a nightmare to deal with for her fiance, but Franck just loved his daughter so much that he didn’t want to let her go. You have to admit, this does look just like a real, working kitchen. Personally, there’s a little too much “stuff” in this room for me, but it does feel like a real home. It’s amazing how quickly a kitchen can get cluttered in real life.

Dreamers & Lovers

Sofia is disgusted that her parents and Adan have been hiding it from her, but reconciles once more with her father and agrees to push through with the wedding. Adan's wealthy father Hernan and the rest of his family arrive in Miami. He and Billy disagree further on the cost and scale of the wedding; Hernan offends him by offering to pay for what Billy cannot afford. Now, 25 years later, a new family can relive the scenes that have become part of our childhood memories. Visiting the house can be a nostalgic and exciting experience, allowing you to connect with the movie on a deeper level. So, if you find yourself in Pasadena, California, be sure to swing by 843 S El Molino Avenue and experience the magic of Father of the Bride in person.

Fans will also see the driveway where George and Annie bonded while playing basketball. Although it's not the same basketball net used in the production, there is still a hoop in the same spot.

If you’re a diehard fan, you can stop at the residence located at 843 S El Molino Avenue in Pasadena, California. The beautiful white facade of the house still looks just as enchanting as it did in the film, according to views from the Zillow listing. Many years ago, I read an article in a magazine where they interviewed a young couple who bought this house in real life when it became available a few years after the making of the movie.

Then, it becomes the setting for the stress, anguish, bittersweet moments, and ultimately blissful denouement surrounding the titular bride’s nuptials. (Not to mention everything that goes down in Father of the Bride Part II.) Now, all that silver screen history can be yours. In a statement to ABC News, listing agent Ann Gluck said that the new owners are "a big family, comprised of older parents and grown children, with no daughters as far as I know."

The beautiful white facade of the eight-bedroom, 4,339 square foot single-family home looks just like it did in the film, according to views from the Zillow listing. However, some people might not know that this home only served as the frontal view in the movie. The inside shots of the house were filmed on a movie set that was torn apart after the shooting, with producers not expecting a sequel. Once production began for the second movie, they had to rebuild the set from the ground up, according to IMDb. Although this iconic backdrop is a private residence, it doesn't stop super fans from respectfully grabbing a quick picture or video as they drive past. If you want to get the full "Father of the Bride" home visit experience, you only need to travel two miles down the road until you reach 500 N Almansor Street in Alhambra, California.

The enduring popularity of “Father of the Bride” speaks to the timeless appeal of cinematic storytelling. As visitors stand before the familiar facade of the Banks family residence, they’re reminded of the magic of movies and the enduring impact of stories that capture our hearts and imaginations. While the “Father of the Bride” house has become a must-see destination for film enthusiasts, it’s important to remember that the property is a private residence. As such, it’s crucial to respect the privacy of the current occupants and admire the iconic facade from a respectful distance.

Over the years, the house has undergone some changes and renovations. While the current state may differ slightly from what is seen in the movie, the essence and charm of the house remain intact. It continues to captivate visitors with its timeless beauty and serves as a reminder of the film’s enduring popularity. The house from Father of the Bride has had a significant influence on pop culture. Its iconic status has led to numerous references and homages in various forms of media.

It reminds me of a Mora clock but it doesn’t quite have the “pot belly” proportions of the Mora. It’s not really a Bornholm clock like I have HERE in my upstairs family room. It has an incredible total of 8 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms and remains as charming today as it was back in the early 90s. To be fair, Annie’s outfits have come full circle and are once again considered the height of cool-girl fashion. As for our love of that fairytale family home, you’re not the only one still pining to step inside over 30 years later.

The various family gatherings, emotional conversations, and comical moments that take place within its walls contribute to the house becoming a cherished character in its own right. It holds a special place in the hearts of those who have watched the film and created cherished memories tied to its charming presence. Located in a picturesque neighborhood, the house perfectly captures the essence of the movie. Standing in front of the actual house, fans can’t help but feel a sense of nostalgia and admiration for the place that played such a significant role in the beloved movie.

In the scenes where Annie and her dad are playing basketball, this same house is used, again. One more view looking across the kitchen into the dining room of the home. I love the various sets of French doors we see throughout the home.

Its classic design and cozy atmosphere evoke feelings of warmth and comfort, which resonates with viewers. From the inviting porch to the meticulously landscaped yard, every aspect of the house adds to its appeal. The interior of the house, as depicted in the film, is just as impressive, with its spacious rooms and elegant decor.

Aside from the famous “Father of the Bride” house, Pasadena is a vibrant city with plenty to offer visitors. Stroll through the charming streets, discover unique shops and boutiques, or indulge in delicious cuisine at local restaurants. The surrounding area provides a perfect backdrop for a day of exploration.

This location holds a special charm for fans of the film, offering a chance to relive those cinematic moments and create new memories of their own.

They had some pretty wild stories to tell about folks walking right up to their door, ringing the bell and asking for a tour. One of the things they said that really stuck with me was that some of what we saw in the movie was constructed just for the movie, like the white picket fence. This popular bridal salon (with locations across the United States and one in London) opts for a low-key and minimalist vibe compared to many of its Los Angeles counterparts.

Father of the Bride (2022 film)

One particularly memorable moment is when George Banks meets wedding coordinator Franck Eggelhoffer for the first time. This interaction, filled with hilarious misunderstandings and cultural differences, perfectly showcases the comedic talents of both Steve Martin and Martin Short. Fans of the "Father of the Bride" movies know how integral the Banks family home was to the plot. Not only was it the location where Annie was married, but in the second film, George sells the memorable house during a midlife crisis.

But that house's backyard was apparently not up to par, so they located another house in nearby Alhambra featuring a spacious basketball court to serve as the setting for the film's backyard scenes. Los Angeles, while known for its iconic Hollywood sign, California sun, and vibrant nightlife, is also becoming a popular destination to host a wedding. So, if you’re getting married in Los Angeles and want to learn more about the stylish and chic city, we’ve got you covered. After much speculation and exploration, the real-life location of the house from Father of the Bride has been found.

So, if you’re in need of some retail therapy, Rodeo Drive definitely should be added to your list. •Santa Monica Bay Beaches While visiting Los Angeles you can easily spend a day lounging and getting a tan at Santa Monica Bay. The beaches on Santa Monica Bay are known for being a hot spot for surfing, since they always have killer waves.

When reminiscing about the classic film, fans will undoubtedly talk about the fantastic Banks family home. With the help of outlandish wedding designer Franck Eggelhoffer (played by Martin Short), they pull off a magical wedding, but not without its fair share of twists and hilarious turns. The story follows George Banks (Martin) as he deals with the ups and downs of finding out his daughter, Annie (Williams-Paisley), is about to get married, according to the film's IMDb. Hijinx and comedy ensue as George comes to terms with the fact that his daughter is no longer a little girl.

To Diane Keaton, who showed mothers everywhere how to show enthusiasm for a daughter’s wedding so strongly opposed by the father of the bride. Built in 1925, the house is similar in style to Pasadena house, and if we had $1.98 millon to spare we'd snatch it up in a heartbeat. This is Colonial Revival architecture at its absolute finest; the front door features a beautiful fanlight and sidelights, while the interior boasts a gorgeous formal parlor and walnut-paneled den. We never get a great shot of this wonderful grandfather clock, but it adds so much to this otherwise very neutral interior.

By now, we're sure you've already saved a few Monique Lhuillier gowns during your search for "the one." But did you know that you could actually try on several dresses in a space solely dedicated to the brand? An icon in the bridal fashion industry, Monique Lhuillier has been a top choice for brides searching for one-of-a-kind, classic, and romantic designs. The flagship also has an assortment of eveningwear pieces that are perfect for mothers of the bride and groom, wedding guests, and bridesmaids.

Therefore, we suggest finding accommodations for friends and family that are not only near your wedding venue, but affordable. Do your research by checking out the different hotel options and also make sure to provide accommodations and room block information on your wedding website. Los Angeles is an easy city for out-of-town guests to fly into because there are several major airports in the area.

Produced by Plan B Entertainment, it was released on June 16, 2022, by Warner Bros. This is the same look I am going for in a room in my home that I’m hoping to one day turn into a library. You can see the vintage shelving I found for my “someday library” in THIS post. I hope to bump my fireplace out from the wall like they have done here, too. Of course, the snow is just pretend snow since this home is located at 843 S. The second house was used to shoot scenes for Annie and Bryan’s backyard wedding.

However, as it turns out, they actually used two homes to bring the movie together. The first, built in 1913, was used to film interior scenes and features as the front of the home that George pulls up to at the beginning of the movie. Father of the Bride is a 2022 American romantic comedy film directed by Gaz Alazraki and written by Matt Lopez, based on the 1949 novel of the same name by Edward Streeter. It serves as a reimagining of the titular 1950 and 1991 movies, and the sixth overall installment in the Father of the Bride franchise. The film stars Andy García, Gloria Estefan, Adria Arjona, Isabela Merced, Diego Boneta, and Chloe Fineman. It is the third filmed version of the story, after the original 1950 film and the 1991 remake.

Filled with killer beaches and hot new bars and restaurants opening up almost everyday, LA has plenty of variety when it comes to hosting a wedding. This does mean that prices are usually a bit higher when it comes to booking vendors—especially since couples in the area are choosing up to 13 vendors for their wedding. The average cost of a wedding in Los Angeles is around $33,000, which is higher than the national average of $28,000. There are plenty of ways to easily save if you’re getting married in Los Angeles.

A seemingly classic colonial style home is retrofitted with expansion works to maximize the space. Here you will see a lot of galvanized steel panels in gray which help modernize the otherwise classic and symmetrical facade. We definitely love the gray paneling, coupled with large concrete tiles and pine wood rafters. Each color scheme listed here is serene and understated, allowing you to convey a welcome-home aesthetic both indoors and out.

Think About Your Roof and Trim Color

Build this modest gray tiny house as a mother-in-law apartment or as a vacation getaway where land sells for a premium. Tiny houses include all the needed rooms, such as kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, without extra rooms. Add dimension, character, and visual appeal to your home by using different materials in your exterior update.

Gray Brick + White + Black

Whether you’re dealing with siding, brick, stucco, or other exterior materials, this exterior paint will provide you with the quality coverage needed for a flawless finish. Cityscape’s LRV value of 22 offers a beautiful gray that contrasts nicely with crisp white trim and black shutters. Good paint color can make an average house look great or make a beautiful house look even better. Thus, choosing the right paint color is no small decision and modern gray exteriors are a timeless choice. Not only is this classic color rich with potential, offering a myriad of tones, it’s also considered a soothing neutral, which makes it prime for modern home designs. Grey house exteriors are common in new buildings, but older architecture can benefit from this calming color palette as well.

Salmon Pink + White + Stained Wood

Its gray front and back with white sides and door add interest to the latest trend in affordable, ecological housing.

Choosing two colors off the same paint strip is the best way to execute this idea. All the colors on a paint strip are different intensities of the same color formula. To best decide which gray undertone is right for a given exterior, consider the other design elements. Make your home the envy of the neighborhood with a beautiful, elegant and striking exterior.

When paired with beige and white trim, it takes on a greater depth that almost tricks the eye into thinking it’s black in color.

Light French Gray (0055) is a good reason to choose Sherwin-Williams for exterior house paint. Its versatile shade goes with practically any decor, making it a great option for any home. Stonington Gray (HC-170) by Benjamin Moore is a cool, breezy way to freshen up the exterior of your home. With its light blue undertones, this paint will have your house look cool and classy. Agreeable Gray provides a great alternative to classic white paint while maintaining a neutral vibe. You’ll achieve an elegant look that won’t overpower the other elements of your home’s exterior.

Pair bright versions of them as exterior house colors, and your home will exude a lively energy that’s simultaneously calming. For this San Francisco Victorian, Kelly Finley used Benjamin Moore Imperial Yellow to blend the garage and siding, and Bedford Blue to cover the stairs and front door. Bold, moody, and versatile, charcoal black will never go out of style. As an exterior paint color, it’s sleek and hides any dirt or debris buildup. For the Wyoming home of Emily Janak, the designer chose a black protective coating to update the previously mint green and white one. Red and blue can look elegant if you select deep, rich shades rather than vibrant ones.

This quadplex of row homes proves you can paint a home solid gray and avoid a boring appearance. One neighbor went a little bright, but the other three homes each use a different shade of gray with white trim allowing each to express their personality while fitting into the neighborhood. Black trim, windows, and doors enliven this light gray stone home with matching gray columns and yard steps. A dark gray home and a light gray home banks the ends of these townhouses, proving that you don’t need a bright or garish color to stand out from the crowd. An interesting take to ranch-style homes, the blue-painted paneling accentuates the warm-gray asphalt shingles, and the light gray details. Various shades of light gray make the perfect background for the bright red roof atop this home.

If you will be selling your home in the near future, you could choose one of your favorite colors for the trim of a white house. As you get your house ready to list, replace the trim color with a more neutral tone to appeal to buyers. Then, use a color wheel to find the complements of the colors you like. You’ll match a warm color from the red-orange-yellow side of the color wheel with a cool color, from the green-blue-purple side.

The gray trend of the past few years has made it outside and it turns out that a coat of the hue looks as stylish on wood siding and it does on the living room wall. Read on as design experts share their top picks for gray exterior paint colors. Gray Matters deep green undertones can pull together the look of any home’s exterior and interior decor.

Test out trim at the same time so you can get a feel for the overall finished look (and avoid any potential clashes). When it comes to picking a new exterior paint color, you can’t go wrong with a classic neutral. But if you want to stand out (just a bit!) from block after block of white houses, consider giving your exterior a moody makeover with gray paint.

One of the romantic stories about prominent Chicago buildings is that the Civic Opera Building, now called the Kemper Insurance Building, 20 N. Wacker Dr., was designed like a throne in which, imaginatively, Samuel Insull, the developer, could sit and view the westward horizon of the city. The U-shaped building, designed by Graham, Anderson, Probst & White, occupies the block bounded by Wacker, Madison and Washington streets, and the Chicago river.
