Exhibition Dedicated to the Lord of Sipán Showcases Peru’s Extraordinary Cultural Legacy at Expo 2025 Osaka-Kansai

Promperu

The Commission for the Promotion of Peru (PROMPERÚ) has announced that the Peru Pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka-Kansai is captivating international audiences with its temporary exhibition titled “The Mochicas, Sovereigns of the Desert.” Visitors have the opportunity to view replicas of the Lord of Sipán's and the Old Lord of Sipán’s jewelry, meticulously crafted by artisans from the Lambayeque region. The exhibit also features a life-sized representation of the Mochica ruler, along with valuable historical information. This exhibition is the result of a collaborative effort between PROMPERÚ and the Sipán Board of Trustees, a non-profit organization committed to the research, preservation, and promotion of northern Peru’s archaeological heritage. It aims to highlight the extraordinary treasures discovered in the tomb of the Lord of Sipán—considered one of the greatest archaeological finds of the 20th century. To convey the spirit and impressive development of the Mochica culture, the exhibit includes two mannequins created by renowned artist Edilberto Mérida Pilares, based on the facial features of the Mochica people's modern-day descendants. Notably, it is the descendants of this cultural heritage who have faithfully recreated the royal court’s ornaments and ceremonial objects. Lambayeque artisans Armando Gil, Segundo Gonzales, and Johnny Aldana have carefully crafted stunning replicas of Mochica jewelry, allowing the exhibition to present historical figures of the elite richly adorned to reflect their power and status. Peru’s past is represented through the remarkable Mochica civilization and its masterful goldsmithing, while the present is embodied by the people who continue to keep this heritage alive through art and memory. By showcasing this glorious legacy at Expo 2025 Osaka-Kansai—the world’s premier cultural event—Peru not only honors its past but also strengthens its national identity and looks toward the future. Under the theme “Infinite Possibilities,” the Peru Pavilion shares with the world the country’s cultural, historical, and natural richness through a presentation that blends tradition, innovation, and sustainability. The renowned travel, culture, and tourism publication Time Out visited Expo 2025 Osaka-Kansai and selected its top five international pavilions. Peru was among the top five, along with Canada, the United Arab Emirates, the Philippines, and the Netherlands. Peru Export and Tourism Promotion Board (PROMPERÚ).

Florida Boy Burger Co. Co-Founder Roger Lolly Leads Statewide Expansion with Four New Locations

Rev Up Marketers

Florida Boy Burger Co., the Old-Florida–themed fast-casual concept that has become a local sensation on the Gulf Coast, today announced an ambitious growth plan spearheaded by co-founder and hospitality veteran Roger Lolly. Building on breakout success in Fort Myers and Cape Coral, the company is aiming to open four additional restaurants this year in Orlando, Jacksonville, Naples, and North Port, bringing its signature blend of Florida nostalgia, farm-fresh ingredients, and community-driven hospitality to diners across the state. “Florida Boy Burger was born from our love for the Sunshine State—its history, its wildlife, and, of course, its incredible local produce,” said Roger Lolly, co-founder and head of concept development. “With every new restaurant we open, we get to tell a slice of Florida’s story through design, flavor, and genuine southern hospitality. Expanding north and east lets us share that story with millions more Floridians and visitors alike.” The upcoming locations will mirror the brand’s immersive atmosphere, complete with reclaimed cypress bars, antique postcards, and taxidermy displays that celebrate the Everglades and the Gulf. Each restaurant will feature a 2,800-square-foot dining room, an outdoor patio, and the company’s trademark 500-gallon freshwater tank housing live baby alligators —an educational partnership with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission that teaches conservation while delighting guests. Florida Boy Burger’s scratch menu centers on 100 percent chuck-and-brisket patties, hand-pressed daily and topped with region-inspired flavors such as Key lime aioli, fried plantains, and citrus-maple bacon. A new supply agreement with a cooperative of Panhandle cattle ranchers will enable the chain to introduce fully Florida-raised beef in every market by Q4 2025. Complementing the burger lineup are locally sourced specialties like gator bites, frog legs, and the ever-popular swamp fries smothered in house-made datil-pepper cheese sauce. Co-founder and CFO Louis Cioffi highlighted the economic impact of the rollout: “Each restaurant represents roughly a $1.6 million investment and will create 35 to 40 jobs ranging from line cooks to general managers. We’re also building a centralized training hub in Fort Myers to keep quality high as we scale.” Florida Boy Burger’s momentum has attracted interest from regional developers and franchise investors. While the company remains privately held, Lolly confirmed management is exploring strategic partnerships to accelerate expansion beyond state lines in 2026. “Our near-term focus is Florida,” he said, “but we see a clear runway into neighboring Southeastern markets that appreciate bold flavors and strong storytelling.” Community engagement remains core to the brand’s identity. Through its “Burgers for the Bay” initiative, the company donates a portion of sales each Earth Day to Everglades restoration nonprofits and hosts monthly clean-ups of local waterways. “If we’re celebrating Florida’s beauty, we have to help preserve it,” Lolly added. About Florida Boy Burger Co. Founded in 2022 by restaurateurs Roger Lolly and Louis Cioffi, Florida Boy Burger Co. brings the charm of Old Florida to life through immersive decor, Florida-forward flavors, and a commitment to local sourcing and environmental stewardship. The company operates two locations in Southwest Florida, with four additional openings slated for 2025. Contact Details Florida Boy Roger Lolly roger@burgers.inc Company Website https://burgers.inc/

Trending MemeFi Token Cutoshi (CUTO) Announces New Development, As Cutoshi Swap Website Goes Live

Cutoshi

Cutoshi (CUTO), one of the standout tokens in the MemeFi space, just hit a big milestone — the launch of its new platform, Cutoshi Swap. It’s designed to make trading crypto easier and more private by letting users swap tokens without having to connect a wallet.

Now with Cutoshi Swap, it’s raising the bar again — offering a new way to trade across chains without the usual friction of wallet connections. The team behind the project said the platform is built to fix problems regular users face. Their words? “We’ve made something simple, with privacy in mind — multi-chain support, no wallet connect needed.” Why Cutoshi Swap Stands Out No Wallet Connection Needed You don’t need to connect your wallet to start swapping — this gives users more control and keeps things private. Supports Multiple Chains The platform isn’t stuck to just one chain. You can move your assets across different blockchains with ease. Very Few Restrictions They’re sticking to decentralization at its core — there’s no long list of banned tokens. That means more coins are usable here. Built for All Levels Whether you’re new to crypto or a DeFi pro, the interface is clean and easy to use. Part of a Bigger Plan This isn’t just a one-off feature. Cutoshi is building an ecosystem. Cutoshi Swap joins a growing list of tools under its belt, all built around transparency, community input, and pushing crypto forward — while keeping that meme vibe alive. One of the team members put it like this: “We think DeFi works best when users don’t have to jump through hoops. It should be simple, direct, and totally yours.” What is Cutoshi (CUTO)? Cutoshi is a MemeFi token — fun on the outside, serious on the inside. It blends meme culture with real utility, offering features like cross-chain transactions, non-custodial trading, and a reward system for its community. Its presale has already attracted people looking to join something that’s equal parts hype and value. Want to Dive In?
