What You Been Grilling?
Memorial Day Weekend is the official start of grilling season. Plenty of folks have been searing all spring as social distancing keeps most of us in our own backyard or out on the balcony. The rain can’t stop us, either: Weber grillmaster Kevin Kolman applauded my efforts, which inspired me to spark up my […]

Life Indoors
American life screeched to a halt with the onslaught of coronavirus. Locally, as opposed to nationally, the government has done a fair job of protecting citizens. I was overcome with pride when Chicago earned an “A” for social distancing. Then the first sunny spring day arrived. The lakefront path filled with joggers and the 606 […]

St. Patrick’s Day Spirit is Alive in Troubled Times
There won’t be any of the typical celebrating this year for the most Irish of holidays. Chicago is on virtual lockdown due to the spread of coronavirus. No pubs are open. People are keeping a safe distance for the good of mankind. Hopefully, we’re making all the right moves. My neighborhood Facebook page set up […]

Crab Rangoon from Thai Lagoon
Mmm! Special lunch delivery from a special admirer…Pad Thai from Wicker’s Park Thai Lagoon. I’m a known fan of Pad Thai – and the Lagoon makes a flavorful chicken noodle dish.

Dropped the Brisket at Bears Watch Party
My cousin Danny hosted the family at his house in Evergreen Park for Sunday’s Bears fiasco in London. A couple hours after the special teams and Chase Daniel slobbed away a decent comeback against a lackluster Raiders team, I made a fumble of my own. Before we get to that, kudos to Dan on the […]

This Curry is Spicing up My Life
Weird to think I got hooked on Thai food in Dublin, of all places, but that’s what happened. Suddenly can’t get enough of it. Found this place Pho’s Thai Cuisine on Grubhub. I order from the one in Lakeview, but they’ve got locations in Lincoln Square and Rogers Park, too. Same thing every time, at […]

Post Malone Seems Genuinely Stoked About Playing United Center
My boy Matty D attended the Post Malone show as a guest of his bro Mike on Tuesday night at the House that Jordan Built. PM emerged wearing a Harold’s Chicken t-shirt and pajama bottoms. Full respect. Mad Dawg supplied me with full video coverage, so much so I felt like I was there. Listen […]
