I'm more interested in how many get sold to 'friends' before the general public.

I heard rumors of a VIP list and really hoped that it was not the case.....but it seems like it is exactly the case.

Wonder how many "high-fives" you gotta give yeahnatenelson to get on the list?

It is exactly the case, I'm not on it, but I may or may not know some people who are...

Associating with that hoodlum will get you nowhere.

That makes me a rather sad panda, as this is the first year I didn't have conflicting plans

 

[middlebrow]

I could've swore i saw him vacationing with said owner but I guess things have changed......so who do i gotta give a z-job too?

 

[SAISON FUCK]

Y'all are teasing that Chicago Beer Underbelly hole pretty vigorously today.

Someone should write a tell-all book. Wax-covered.

I'll be honest. I had no idea about Zwanze until my phone blew up 15 minutes after I posted a hunch.

 

[SSTroller]

Not gonna lie, when I did a quick initial read of the email, I read it as "Queefin Coffin" and went all Pig Mind's with their naming.

Mammas, don't let your child grow up to be yeahnatenelson.

 

[Treebs]

I'll be at the Saturday 1-4pm Session for the Rev Oktoberfest. Hope to see some of you hoodrats there.

Hey middlebrow, Hey Citrus sounds pretty dang good.

Hey middlebrow, Hey Citrus sounds pretty dang good.

stop by the beer temple tomorrow to taste it. kegs at fests the last few weeks were uncrashed, the bottle & draft hittin the city now is pretty damn tasty. The beer came from a homebrewer contest and the dude that made it is a stem cell molecular biologist who basically made & cultivated the yeast himself from a few different things. It's a lovely saison-ish sacch strain that has mild Brett & lacto qualities. I think I'm gonna have to arm wrestle him to use this yeast on one of our beers, it'd be great on a Belgian single or grisette. ***shamesless promotion ovah***

It was definitely one of my faves in Oak Park a few weeks ago. Especially since I got it while it was still 8,000 degrees outside and before the torrential rain hit.

So not beer related, but sad to report that Burt's Place in Morton Grove, IL has shut it's doors for the last time.

After reading a few articles about Burt's health issues I decided to give the chamber of commerce a call, and spoke to a very nice lady who informed me that while Burt was still alive and with us, he decided to spend the rest of his days enjoying life and closed the doors to Burt's Place for good.

If you never got a chance to experience the best "Chicago style" pizza my condolences, and now where do I go to get my fix? Pequods is probably the only contender I've had in Chicagoland that was even close to Burt's in terms of quality.

Sad to hear this - when we moved back to the suburbs about 3 years ago, I think Burt's (which I never had before) was temporarily closed due to his health. Then when it reopened, the lines were ridiculous....then it sort of fell off my radar.

Oh well, at least I'll never have to wait in line at Pita Inn again (anyone else been to their new palace on Dempster? It's freakin' awesome, 3 cash registers, at least 3 different cook setups - so huge and fast).

Well Burt did start pequods but pequods dough isn't as light and hand punched and the sauce doesn't have that fresh red bell pepper sweetness. As sad as it is, Burt was rail thin and his wife was starting to get some dementia. If they can relax and enjoy the last five, more power too em. I wish he wasn't such a bad ass and would sell out and teach me how to make pizzas and sell me his pans & that tiny oven. Burt's is dead, long live the king.

 

[Hopping Tiger]

Pita Inn

So damn good. Should probably be higher rated in Chicagoland food discussions.

Currently eating Pita Inn for lunch. One of the best eats in the city.

 

[Hopping Tiger]

And the Business Lunch Special is damn cheap!

 

[SAISON FUCK]

Pita Inn can go **** itself.

Whalehunters getting lazy? We've entered a new era of New Money. Next thing you know, they won't bother with anything that has lines...

Outside Pequod's and Piece, my city staples at this point are Spacca Napoli and Antica Pizzeria in Andersonville. Old school brick ovens flown in from Italy, about as good of a pie as you can get in the city. If you are going south suburbs, there is always Vito and Nick's.

And the Business Lunch Special is damn cheap!

And so motherfuckin good. Ya, Ill load you up with some more red sauce.

Not that this is talkpizza but did you get into spacca a few weeks ago when they had the visiting 3rd generation pizzaiulo from Italy? He made a carnivale pizza his grandfather invented which was star shaped with ricotta filled points. It made me weep
