WEST VILLAGE ? Reality show-winning bakery House of Cupcakes is opening a location at 101 Seventh Ave S., in a former GNC location. House of Cupcakes won the second season of Food Network's Cupcake Wars. [Observer]

VIDEO INTERLUDE ? Joe Bastianich and Gail Simmons were on Dr. Oz to "debate" the "dangers" of food porn, because of course Dr. Oz thinks it's making everyone fat. But Bastianich comes out in favor of food porn as an American right: "The first amendment defends S&M, but it also defends double cheeseburgers with bacon." Eater National has the video.
