I’m a firm believer of the phrase ‘less is more’, especially when it comes to food. Throwing everything at a dish is a huge red flag for me as it can ruin a perfectly good meal, so when I saw 'The Beast' sandwich at Ad Maiora I thought it was flavour overkill for the sake of shock value and a good insta pic. I couldn’t have been more wrong. Ad Maiora is the brainchild of Sardinian couple Daniela Steri and Enrico Pinna who run their little business out of their flat in Manchester's Northern Quarter. They both quit their jobs at the end of last year to start selling authentic Italian sandwiches, and have quickly amassed a huge following of bread lovers across the city who can’t get enough of their homemade butties.

Joe Jonas revealed Friday that he once had to make a quick change during a concert because he "s---" his pants on stage.  The Jonas Brothers band member made the revelation on the Will & Woody podcast after he was asked about something he hadn't previously told the media.  After thinking for a minute, the "Cake by the Ocean" singer said that he was discussing with some friends the other day that "there is a point in your life where, as an adult, you can remember the last time you s--- your pants." The incident in question happened around four years ago during an unspecified concert.  "Let’s just say it was a bad day to choose to wear white clothing," the 33-year-old father of two joked, kidding that he’d been able to "work through it" with "a lot of therapy." While performing, he said he felt what "might have been a little toot, it might have been a little something else, a little something extra," which is when he said he had to make a "mid-wardrobe s--- change during the set." The "Waffle House" singer suggested a determined person could go into the archives of his shows and find the "wardrobe change halfway through the show and it was maybe a little bit like, ‘Oh, that was an interesting choice to change clothes that quickly.'"  He emphasized it was a story he has "never told and that’s just real life!"  Jonas added, "The whole time I thought somebody is definitely going to be able to see this and know what’s happening.They’re going to realize – but it was definitely all in my head. You know what I mean? It wasn’t as big of a deal as I thought.
