A Chicago pizza that’s not on any best of list but should be at the top of most of them. thehunger.substack.com/p/die-for-this…
My old critic photo is hilarious.

“Doug Psaltis has always been a P.T. Barnum-esque prevaricator, a trader in truthiness. Those talents covered up his skill for swindlery. After visiting his newest restaurant even that façade has crumbled.” thehunger.substack.com/p/menace-to-pr…
When @pete_wells told Thomas Keller his mushroom tea at Per Se tasted like murky bong water in the New York Times, Keller could have posted a picture on Instagram taking water pipe rips in the kitchen with the caption “Whatever, dude.” thehunger.substack.com/p/failure-to-n…

This one has everything, a review of The Pixies, a review of Apple product design innovation, musings on culinary theft, and a review of a place you might want to eat at if you can’t get in to the hottest restaurant in Chicago. thehunger.substack.com/p/everything-c…
NEW: Kyoten Next Door (@kyotensushiko) offers some of the best omakase in #Chicago, along with a unique opportunity to banter directly with chef-owner Otto Phan. 3.5 stars. thenewchicagoan.com/chicago/kyoten…
A meditation on love, sandwiches and Taylor Swift. “Bartering soulless things to broken souls demands its toll. Up at dawn to take to the heavens, walking dead back to the last 737 out of Fargo in the eventide.” thehunger.substack.com/p/all-too-well

Would kill one for science.
Two of my fave things @borrelli writing about Lana Del Rey. Saw her at Aragon back in the day, one of my favorite music moments. chicagotribune.com/entertainment/…
New Yorkers have lied about bagels for too long. “My theory about people saying (in regards to a NY bagel) “it’s about the water” is not actually about the mineral content of the water…New Yorkers turned that into a proprietary/marketing thing” Read thehunger.site
