A staple of old-fashioned, home-cooked American comfort food, meatloaf can be made from any type or combination of meat, seasoned in any way, and with an infinite variety of add-ins. Tickets have nearly sold out for the Monday, July 19, Joan Baez concert at Metropolis Performing Arts Centre in downtown Arlington Heights. More than fried dough: Longman & Eagle in Logan Square recently added this riff on summer carnival fare to its menu. The black pepper beef-fat funnel cake is topped with grilled foie gras, Spence Farm strawberries and wild chamomile, $15. Sensually unctuous roasted beef marrow bones, served with toast for smearing and a seasonal garnish at The Bristol in Bucktown, $12. Bone appetit! At Prasino in LaGrange, Chef Scott Halverson tops avocado halves with lobster, mango salsa and chili-butter sauce. Help the environment, take some exercise and get a little green back. Chicago may no longer be hog butcher to the world, but it’s still big in pigskin. The city is home to one of the world’s largest commercial manufacturers of pork rinds. Catch the cutting edge of music with “Computers Come Alive!” The concert, a series of works influenced by or incorporating computer-driven technology, culminates Fulcrum Point New Music Project’s 2009–10 season of “Movies, Myths and Machines” and takes place at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, May 19, at the Harris Theater for Music and Dance in Millennium Park, with special pre-show programming beginning at 7:10 p.m. You could take your mom out for the usual Mother’s Day brunch this Sunday, May 9, but why not go where she’ll get a little something extra? |
