HOLLYWOOD— With Mercantile open and serving, it's time to turn the attention to big brother District. Thrillist scores a little sneak peek into the future January opening, and for those looking to get in early, for $100 celebrate NYE at District's bar. [Thrillist]

TOP CHEFFAGE— First came Top Chef wine, now thanks to Gucci Mane (?) and Akon, please welcome Top Chef...the rap (song). [VodPod via Eater National]
