This week on Rated Reads, visit the infamous Binley Mega Chippy, catch up with Dominic Fike and explore the strange new 'tradwife' trend.
For the past week or so, social media has been dominated by the most unusual trend: Binley Mega Chippy. For some reason, this entirely random chippy located on the outskirts of Coventry has become a global TikTok sensation, and pilgrimages are occurring around the country. In a feat of true investigative journalism, VICE visits the chippy and answers vital questions, such as whether the £4.99 Morbius Meal is real.
Dominic Fike was plenty famous before this year, but his role in the second season of Euphoria really catapulted him to fame. For GQ, he sits down and chats about a huge 12 months for both his music and acting careers, and his newly-established relationship with co-star Hunter Schafer.
