Anne Burrell's friend talks 'complex relationship' with Food Network chef: 'She was going through some stuff'
Food Network star Anne Burrell has been fondly remembered by her friend and fellow chef Duff Goldman after she was discovered dead in her New York apartment. The Worst Cooks In America co-host was found 'unconscious and unresponsive' when law enforcement responded to a call 7.50 am this Tuesday, June 17. The New York Fire Department confirmed to Daily Mail that they were responding to a report of a cardiac arrest, and at present her cause of death is still being investigated by the Office of Chief Medical Examiner. Now Goldman, whose Baltimore bakery Charm City Cakes was featured on the Food Network, has shared a testimonial to his late pal. 'I've written and re-written this post so many times in the past 24 hours and I just don't know what to say,' he wrote on Instagram alongside a photo of him with her. 'Anne and I became friends in probably 2006. She was going through some stuff and I had heard that she was feeling it so on a trip to NYC from Baltimore I had made her a cake that said 'Don't let the b******s win.' She never did,' he said proudly. 'We had a complex relationship and I remember the last conversation we had before our paths drifted was a pretty feisty debate about the merits of catfish. I believe the words 'trash fish,' 'tastes like mud,' and 'cake boy' were used, haha,' he shared. 'Anne and I always had a spirited and somewhat acerbic back and forth. I really never knew why our paths drifted but I always hoped that wherever she was, Anne was doing well and was finding some happiness.' While he was attending a New York City gala 'a year or two ago' with his wife Johnna Colbry and their daughter Josephine, four, Goldman saw Burrell again. Goldman explained that he 'took Josephine out to the lobby to give her a break from sitting at a table listening to speeches. We were playing with the marble columns and as we rounded one we saw Anne.' He recalled: 'Now, at this point we hadn't spoken in years, and I won't go into what we talked about but I will say that that conversation left my heart lifted and full of light, for it truly seemed to me that Anne really had found a measure of happiness and love.' Goldman opined: 'Life is tough, and we have to be tough to get through it. Anne was as tough as they come, but when you got past the armor there was a depth of compassion and kindness that was absolutely beautiful.' He gushed: 'My heart sings when I think of the love and tranquility that it seems Anne had found recently, and her genuine smile for my daughter and me in that lobby are what makes this tragedy just a little more bearable. 'Anne, wherever you are I hope they have slow moving rivers because when I get there, we'll get a couple of rods, a pint of chicken livers, and a sixer and I'll teach you how to catch and cook the best catfish you ever had. Rest up, chef.' Goldman's tribute comes after another one of Burrell's friends, chef Elizabeth Falkner, claimed that the late Food Network star was in 'pretty decent shape' when she last saw her on June 9 at dinner in New York City. In an exclusive interview with Daily Mail, Falkner, 59, revealed, 'I think Anne looks like she's in pretty decent shape these days, so it's kind of surprising to me.' Not being able to comment specifically on any health issues, if any, she might've battled before her death, she did find her passing 'so sudden and shocking.' 'I know it is very personal to me what happened, and I can't believe somebody even younger than me has just passed away. It's close to home for all of us,' she said. 'The culinary family is like family, so this hurts a lot of us. We just all feel it.' The shock comes from seeing her a few days ago at an intimate dinner she hosted - which she of course was the chef for the 'fun night' - at Soho House on June 9. 'I've seen [her] over all these years, not just on television competitions and shows, but at different parties and events and stuff, and we've always been friendly. 'But just in the last month we've been texting. I said, "Come to my dinner at Soho House, it'll be great to see you." And she brought her husband and we just had such a good time,' she shared about how the famous chefs reconnected. Falkner paid tribute to Anne on her Instagram after hearing about the shocking news 'It was just so sweet. So this is just really so sudden and shocking.' Burrell even texted her the following day on June 10 to let her know that she and her husband, Stuart Claxton, had a great time. 'She's like, "Thanks so much for inviting us. It was a truly lovely time and very delicious. Please send me some pics so I can post." 'And I said, "It was so great to see you, Anne."' The pals even made a pact to 'talk more often.' 'We were like, "Let's just make a point of talking and texting more often,"' Falkner shared, while noting that she is 'very grateful' to have had a special night with the beloved chef and other guests last week. 'I'm just bummed. I feel like [our friendship] just got cut really short fast,' she added. The Worst Cooks in America alum spoke highly about being a mother. 'When she came to the dinner at Soho House, she said that she was very much enjoying being a stepmother,' Falkner said, referring to the star's stepson Javier, 20. 'And her husband's so sweet. She just seemed to be in such a good place. That's the best way for me to describe it. Because being a chef and being a television personality is two major full-time jobs, but enjoying your life outside of that can be challenging. And I think she was definitely enjoying her life outside of that whole world of the networks and all that stuff.' Burrell spoke exclusively with Daily Mail back in April about marital bliss. Her and Stuart got married in 2021 after meeting on a dating app in 2018. 'October will be four years,' she said at the City Harvest gala. 'It seems like it's been four minutes. I don't know if it's a honeymoon [phase], but I feel like it's settled into married life days which I really enjoy.' Falkner told Daily Mail, 'I'm just bummed. I feel like [our friendship] just got cut really short fast' (pictured is an exclusive photo of Falkner with her pal at Burrell's former Brooklyn restaurant, Phil And Anne's Good Time Lounge, shared with Daily Mail) Falkner, who appeared on cooking shows like Iron Chef and Top Chef, recalled meeting Burrell's husband before they got married in 2021. 'I randomly saw her in Rome outside of a restaurant, and I was like, "Oh my God, that's Anne Burrell walking by!" And we said hey and stuff,' Falkner revealed, noting that she and Stuart were on a 'pre-wedding trip.' Describing her passing 'really unfortunate,' 'so sad,' 'unexpected' and even 'tragic,' Falkner believes Burrell's death is a huge loss to the restaurant community since everyone involved is 'another kind of family.' Falkner, herself, said that being a chef is a 'highly stressful job,' but it was something that Burrell mastered throughout her career. 'The thing about Anne Burrell is she wasn't only a TV chef, she was a really good, really good cook, really good chef. She educated a lot of people,' the James Beard Foundation's board of trustees member told Daily Mail. 'I don't even know how she had the patience to do Worst Cooks in America, because I think that would be a challenging show to do patience wise. But she was the real deal. She could cook a lot. She had mad skills. It was always fun watching her cook. I told her I loved watching her on House of Knives.' She added, 'She's one of those people that's kind of intimidating and certainly hardcore as chefs can be. I mean, you kind of have to be that way. It's the only way to teach people how to deal with ingredients and not to mess it up all the time. But she was definitely very sweet... She had a certain kind of sparkle.'

O.J. Simpson's Bronco chase on June 17, 1994 — a photographic look back at the historic day in sports when the 'Juice got loose'
June 17, 1994, was a day that won't soon be forgotten, with four major sporting events set against the backdrop of the most infamous "sports" story in American history — the day the Juice got loose. Los Angeles — O.J. Simpson led police on an hour-long, low-speed car chase in a white Ford Bronco (driven by friend Al Cowlings) after learning he was being charged with the murders of his ex-wife, Nicole Simpson, and her friend, Ronald Goldman. Chicago — Earlier in the day, the first World Cup ever held on American soil kicked off at Chicago's Soldier Field. The second U.S.-hosted World Cup is 359 days away. New York — Coverage of Game 5 of the NBA Finals between the Knicks and Rockets was interrupted by live updates of the car chase. New York won that game to take a 3-2 lead, but Houston won Games 6 and 7 to capture their first title. New York — Just a few miles south of Madison Square Garden, the Rangers had paraded down the Canyon of Heroes to celebrate winning their fourth (and most recent) Stanley Cup. Oakmont, Pennsylvania — A 64-year-old Arnold Palmer, who grew up in nearby Latrobe, gave a tearful goodbye during the final U.S. Open round of his career. He failed to make the cut at Oakmont, where Ernie Els won his first major in a three-man playoff. 🍿 Watch: 30 for 30: June 17, 1994 (Netflix)

A New Chevy Corvette Debuts Tomorrow, and It Might Be the Zora
Chevy released a teaser video for a new Corvette variant, which will debut tomorrow, June 17. The video doesn't reveal much, but it displays a stylized "X" logo, and the caption promises that "the hype is real." This makes us believe this could be the long-rumored Zora—expected to combine the V-8 from the ZR1 with the electric assistance of the E-Ray—although the "X" moniker suggests it may carry a different name. A new Corvette is always exciting, especially with the eighth-generation model that has ditched Corvette convention in pursuit of greater performance. The C8's debut in 2019 shocked the world with its switch to a mid-engined layout, while the Corvette Z06 impressed by extracting 670 horsepower from its naturally aspirated V-8. Then the Corvette E-Ray shook things up by adding an electric motor for all-wheel drive, and the Corvette ZR1 burst onto the scene with a whopping 1064 hp. Now, Chevy is teasing a new Corvette that comes out tomorrow, and we have a feeling it will break new ground. There isn't a whole lot to go off from the teaser video that Chevy posted last Friday. The video simply shows a Corvette logo, tomorrow's date of June 17, and a stylized "X." The caption reads "The hype is real" and confirms that a new Corvette is on the horizon. Otherwise, we're left to guess what Chevy is cooking up, although we won't have to wait long to find out. The caption does give us a sense of what to expect, however. Chevy references "the hype," and a wild top-of-the-line Corvette has been rumored to be on its way since the iconic sports car switched to a mid-engined setup. Rumors suggest that this ultimate Corvette will be called the Zora, named after the engineer largely credited for the birth of the Corvette in the 1950s. The presence of the "X" in the video suggests a different name could be used, though. Greg Pajo | Car and Driver The 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1. It's believed that this Corvette Zora, or whatever it will be called, will combine the potent heart of the ZR1 with the all-wheel-drive E-Ray's hybrid setup, which will likely put output from the hybrid powertrain at around 1200 hp. All will be revealed tomorrow, and we are eagerly waiting.
