Off the coast of New York is a baby white shark nursery

Off the coast of Long Island, Greg Metzger and the SOFO (South Fork) Natural History Museum and Shark Research team are reeling in sharks of all kinds.

Metzger is a marine scientist and the Chief Field Coordinator for the museum.

He is in charge of finding the sharks to tag and release.

Those tags gather important data.

"All you ever hear about is nothing is known about sharks," says Metzger. "Sharks are the gatekeepers of the environment. They're apex predators."

There are 12 species of sharks living in the waters of New York.

From the various tags, Greg and his team are able to affix, the museum has been able to confirm the existence of a baby white shark nursery off the coast.

National Geographic's "Baby Sharks in the City" documents Metzger's mission to catch and affix a camera tag to a young of the year white shark.

"Baby white sharks are by far the hardest fish I have ever tried to catch," Metzger says. "They also have a massive attitude as you'll see in the show."

You can stream "Baby Sharks in the City" on Hulu and Disney+.

These Ritz Cracker Sandwiches Vanish Before the Party Starts

Ritz Party Sandwiches transform familiar buttery crackers into warm, savory appetizers that are exactly the right size for grabbing from a crowded table. Cheese and flavorful sandwich fillings sit between pairs of crackers, creating miniature bites with a crisp exterior and rich center. As they bake, the cheese melts, the filling warms, and the crackers become even more aromatic without losing the delicate texture that makes Ritz crackers so recognizable. Each small sandwich delivers salt, butter, cheese, and savory flavor in one or two bites, which explains why people rarely stop after taking only one. The recipe does not require elaborate pastry, specialty bread, or hours of preparation, yet the completed tray looks more thoughtful than simply opening a box of crackers. It is party food built around convenience without tasting like the cook took an obvious shortcut.

Grandma Was Right About Potatoes and Onions

Sometimes the most memorable food begins with ingredients so ordinary that their transformation feels almost unfair. Southern Fried Taters and Onions take potatoes, sliced onion, garlic, oil, salt, and pepper and turn them into a skillet full of golden edges, tender centers, and deep savory flavor. As the potatoes cook, some pieces crisp against the hot pan while others remain soft enough to soak up the sweetness released by the onions. That mix of textures is what makes a simple recipe so hard to leave alone. Every serving contains a few crunchy bites, several buttery-soft slices, and caramelized onion tucked between them. No cream sauce, specialty cheese, or expensive meat is required to make the skillet smell like a proper country breakfast or old-fashioned family supper.

Four Ingredients Make This Lemon Cake Almost Unfair

A dessert with only four ingredients should not taste this rich, but lemon pie filling, cream cheese, cake mix, and butter know exactly how to work together. The lemon creates a bright, tangy layer while the cream cheese adds pockets of smooth richness. Cake mix and melted butter form a golden topping with soft sections, crisp edges, and the comforting flavor of a homemade cobbler. Every spoonful lands differently depending on how much citrus, cream cheese, and buttery crust it captures. The result feels more complicated than the assembly suggests, making this recipe ideal when time is short but dessert still needs to impress. As it bakes, the lemon bubbles around the edges and the top becomes golden, filling the kitchen with an aroma that makes waiting considerably more difficult.
