Chef Ian Flowers will run the kitchen at the neighborhood restaurant, set to open this August in the old Lucca's location.

More cured meats for Randolph Street. A Chicago favorite shutters its windows. And a café dedicated to casseroles.

The city celebrates National Hot Dog Day. Burgers for charity. And a food fight the size of a football field.

There are three new bakeries, dinner and a movie, gourmet doggie bags, a day of daiquiris, and Parson's has a slice of something fresh to stuff in your pie hole.

Cupcakes come with wine. A tavern celebrates Belgian independence. And lobster seems to be everywhere.

Farmhouse Chicago opens in Evanston; DMK’s new barbecue joint complete with stuffed deer heads and bacon bar; Avec finally gives in to brunch mania.

Where to find food trucks, free ice cream, and the most happening boozy bike parade in the city.

Cornish-style pasties land in Bridgeport, the High Noon Saloon starts a Texas-sized brunch, and the next big food festival hits the streets in Lake View.

A whole hog roast. A craft beer chef battle. A Tour de France bouillabaisse. And free snow cones on the beach!

One has an in-house soda jerk. Another serves cocktails in old medicine bottles. And DMK's new barbecue joint will have the city's second bacon bar.
