McDonald’s is going small in a big way this summer with the launch of Lil McDonald’s Happy Meals, a limited-time collection of 21 miniature toys inspired by the fast-food giant’s most iconic features. Starting July 1 through August 11, 2025, customers across the U.S. can collect tiny versions of McDonald’s staples—from a Boo Bucket and Happy Meal box to a mini cash register, delivery truck, and even a pint-sized PlayPlace.

The Lil McDonald’s collection taps into the joy of imaginative play and nostalgia, with toys that replicate everything from a McNugget box to a self-ordering kiosk. “There’s something magical about watching your child’s imagination come to life with these tiny toys,” said Anna Engel, Director of Marketing for McDonald’s USA. The toys are designed to let kids “play McDonald’s” at home—turning kitchen tables into drive-thrus and living rooms into mini restaurants.

Each Happy Meal includes one of the 21 collectible toys and a scannable code that unlocks Drive Thru Dash, a digital game where players race to take orders and earn points. Families can also download a Lil McDonald’s placemat from HappyMeal.com to create their own play zone, or use the McDonald’s app to find nearby restaurants with real PlayPlaces.

Gather to Transform into Lucho, a Mezcal-Fueled Taco Bar

By

After two remarkable years as the first food and beverage company to open inside the recently revitalized Dayton Arcade, Gather—owned by Shane Anderson—is ready for its next evolution. Anderson is joining forces with Charlie Carroll and Hospitalité Group to temporarily close Gather and reimagine the space as Lucho, a bold burrito, taco, mezcal, and espresso bar, set to reopen in July.

While Gather will soon undergo a full transformation, the spirit of what made it special remains. From its earliest days, Gather became more than just a café—it was the heartbeat of the Arcade’s mornings. Known for its thoughtful espresso program, signature seasonal drinks, and high-quality beans, Gather served as a daily ritual for downtown regulars and visitors alike. Whether it was a hand-poured latte before work or a spiced Café de Olla shared over conversation, the café offered a warm, grounded sense of community with every cup.

Anderson, who brings more than 15 years of hospitality experience, will now join forces with Carroll, founder of Table 33 and several other Dayton food ventures. Both see this as a chance to level up. “Shane helped breathe life into the Arcade. His ability to build meaningful spaces—through coffee, food, and connection—has been invaluable,” said Carroll. “We’re excited to keep that momentum going with something completely fresh.”

Lucho will be a vibrant all-day taqueria-meets-mezcal-bar, with tacos, burritos, bowls, and cocktails served from morning into the night. The menu is packed with bold, soulful combinations like the “El Desvelo” breakfast taco with short rib and chipotle hollandaise, or the “La Baja” with beer-battered fish, charred pineapple salsa, and cabbage slaw.

While the name and flavors may be changing, Lucho will still carry pieces of Gather’s coffee culture forward. Expect signature drinks like the Café de Olla latte, Oaxacan Mocha, and the Mezcal Affogato—espresso poured over vanilla bean ice cream and a float of joven mezcal. Coffee drinkers can rest easy: their morning ritual will still have a home.

On the cocktail side, Lucho comes ready to party. The bar will serve everything from smoky agave Old Fashioneds to hibiscus-infused tequila spritzes, watermelon mezcal sours, and a decadent Churro Martini rimmed with cookie crumble.

At the same time, Carroll’s Hospitalité Group is launching a second concept—completely distinct from Lucho—called The Dessert Room. Housed in its own dedicated space connected to Table 33, The Dessert Room is a nostalgic after-dinner destination focused solely on elevated desserts and post-meal cocktails.

This isn’t just an add-on or side room—it’s a full-fledged experience of its own. Inspired by the kind of sweets that once graced your grandparents’ table (think pies, puddings, and cakes), The Dessert Room reimagines those classics with modern technique, bold flavors, and a little grown-up mischief. Expect warm slices of pie, boozy milkshakes, and candlelit comfort in an intimate, stand-alone setting made for lingering late into the night.

Both Lucho and The Dessert Room are part of a growing investment in downtown Dayton’s culinary scene. “This is about creating layers of experience,” said Carroll. “Gather started the story. Now, we’re building two completely different destinations—one spicy, one sweet, both unforgettable.”

 

Gather Bids Adieu

By

Thank you, Dayton. 

“For the past 22 months, Gather by Ghostlight has had the incredible honor of welcoming our community into the historic Dayton Arcade — a space that’s always represented the heart and hope of our city. To be even a small part of its revitalization has meant the world to us.
We want to express our deepest appreciation to the incredible team at The Arcade and Cross Street Partners, who have been far more than landlords. They’ve been champions for our city, working tirelessly with true intention to revitalize this precious gem into something lasting and meaningful for Dayton. It’s been a privilege to partner with people so invested in the soul of this place.
While we’re stepping out of this space, this is not a closing. This is a transition. Sunday, June 29th will be our last service as Gather, but a very exciting collaboration is on the horizon.
Our friends at Hospitalité Group & Table 33 have exciting plans ahead — expanding into both the gallery and café spaces at Gather with fresh concepts & continued community focus. We couldn’t be more thrilled for what’s to come.
Even better news: there will be new opportunities for our amazing Gather team to continue doing what they do best, with coffee, breakfast, lunch & cocktails still a big part of the vision for this space. 🙌 Watch this space for announcements about what’s to come!
The Dayton Arcade is more than architecture. It’s a symbol of resilience, reinvention, and hope. Thank you for allowing us to be a small part of its story.
So much appreciation for all of the staff, guests, artists & musicians who have walked through our 4th Street door. It will only be closed for a little while & then we’ll be welcoming you right back in, with a few changes.

We’ll see you soon — back at our roots on Wayne Ave.”

With love and gratitude,
The Gather by Ghostlight Team

Chili’s Debuts New Premium PATRÓN Frozen Margaritas

By

Chili’s® Grill & Bar, the seller of more margaritas than any restaurant brand in the U.S. — with more than 25 million sold last year alone — is raising the bar with three new, premium frozen choices.

Chili’s® Grill & Bar, the seller of more margaritas than any restaurant brand in the U.S. — with more than 25 million sold last year alone — is raising the bar with three new, premium frozen choices made with PATRÓN Silver tequila.

Made with PATRÓN Silver tequila, the lineup features something for everyone:

  • PATRÓN Frozen Marg – Timeless and smooth, Chili’s new frozen margarita features PATRÓN Silver, triple sec, lime juice and agave and starts at just $10. Guests can choose to add strawberry, mango, watermelon, blackberry, dragonfruit or even spicy flavor for an added punch.
  • Flamingo Freeze – This vibrant, pink drink is made by shaking up Tito’s® Handmade Vodka with Owen’s Prickly Pear, then swirling with PATRÓN Frozen Marg for a sweet sip featuring a popular flavor in the southwest.
  • Arctic Drift – Featuring a refreshing blend of Malibu® Coconut Rum, pineapple juice and Blue Curaçao, shaken then swirled with PATRÓN Frozen Marg, the Arctic Drift brings in flavors of the tropics, garnished with a lime wedge and maraschino cherry.

“As a leader in the margarita space, we saw a big opportunity to elevate and expand our frozen margs to be ones that our guests deserve,” said George Felix, Chief Marketing Officer at Chili’s Grill & Bar. “At Chili’s, margaritas are a core part of who we are – and now we’re proud to serve what we believe to be the best frozen margs in the industry. I can’t think of a better combination on a hot summer day than our all-new PATRÓN Frozen Marg and a Triple Dipper.”

Heinz’s First New Mustard In a Decade

By

If you’ve turned on Top Hits radio lately, you’ve likely heard a beat made by Dijon McFarlane, also known as DJ Mustard. Mustard has worked with a variety of music artists and has made beats for Kendrick Lamar’s newest album, which includes the hit “TV Off.” The song features the producer’s tag, “Mustard on the beat,” before an undeniably catchy callout “Mustaaaaaard.”

Recently, the music producer added another name to his list of collaborators, but this time it’s not a music industry giant. Mustard has teamed up with Heinz for the brand’s first-ever U.S. partnership. Appropriately named, Heinz Mustaaaaaard is a sweet and smoky chipotle honey mustard that features real chipotle peppers and sweet honey flavor. The thick and creamy sauce is the perfect addition to burgers and chicken, but can also be used as a marinade or to coat beef brisket before tossing into the smoker.

A mustard enthusiast himself, DJ Mustard says that the iconic yellow condiment has always had a place at the table. “Heinz Mustard has always been my grilling secret weapon,” says Mustard. “I knew I wanted some sweetness in my sauce, because that’s what gets you that nice browning, bark formation when grilling, but from there I was open. I tested a bunch of remixes with the Heinz team, trying different ingredients like jalapeños, bacon, and chipotle peppers. In the end, it came down to three top contenders before I ultimately chose what I felt was the ‘Mustard’ of all mustards.

The mustard collab was announced earlier this year, though the details were kept under wraps. Despite limited info, it’s been a much-anticipated release for Mustard and mustard fans alike. “This is too perfect,” said one person in a Reddit thread. “Mustard on the meat,” quipped another.

Fans who want a first taste of the new Heinz creation can do so at Buffalo Wild Wings locations nationwide, where it will be exclusively available June 25 through July 14. Guests who order a beef menu item for dine-in will receive a free bottle of Heinz Mustaaaaaard, while supplies last. But don’t worry if you can’t make it during the two-week preview period. The new mustard will soon roll out to major retailers nationwide, including Walmart.com, Target, and Amazon. This is a limited edition product, and we don’t know exactly how long it will be on shelves, so be sure to stock up before it disappears.
