I would also really love a video of the old Reza's commercial where the guy waves his arms back and forth and says "NO NO NO NO - KEBABS."

If the universe is taking requests. #chicago

5 Recent Chicago’s Restaurant Closures to Know Gale Street Inn and Mable’s Table headline the sad news

From this @eater.bsky.social story about Gale Street Inn closing:

"Who can forget their β€˜90s spots on sports radio, bragging about never playing hip hop in their dining room?"

Um, me?

Does anyone have audio of this?

Will there also be time in his schedule to update the Cook County jury orientation video?

Working from home is undoubtedly more efficient than being in an office but at the same time I would definitely get about a week of my life back if I added up all the collective ten second gaps of silence followed by "oops sorry forgot I was on mute"

The more I watch other people work, the more convinced I become that basic keyboard shortcuts are the quickest and easiest way to become your department's superstar.

The difference between someone that understands CTRL+X, CTRL+V or CTRL+K and someone that doesn't genuinely adds up over time.

Everyone is horny now From FKA twigs and Ethel Cain to Babyratu, it seems like the stifled sexual expression of the last decade has finally breached containment – and it’s filthier and messier than ever

This piece contains the phrase "Like β€˜Barbenheimer’ for people who like being spat on," which should be wonderful enough writing for you to click through and read at least half of it.

Is/Was and Monochrome are both doing great things but as a lifelong dive bar aficionado it was my true honor to get to praise Electric Funeral in print.

As much as I love Hopleaf, @usatoday.com, it's not a brewery.

Next stop for fun: A pool-equipped barge on Lake Michigan? A local entrepreneur wants to build a 300-by-100-foot floating island that would have a swimming pool, restaurants, bars, shops and a spa β€” all more than a mile out on Lake Michigan.

I will see your 2016 gondola plan and raise you "floating entertainment complex off Navy Pier" from 2014.

A Spotify Wrapped but just totaling up the hours I've spent opening my phone and inputting 3rd Party Authenticator codes.

Wait, no, I don't actually want that.

And by the end of it, you'll probably be able to disembark at a new port in Phoenix.

Didn't this guy run that pirate bar that Jon Taffer shut down a while ago?

1000%. If the City or Choose Chicago doesn't create some sort of ambassador for him they're insane.
