From Organic in Chicago:
“Our Daily Bread is an award winning 2005 documentary directed by Nikolaus Geyrhalter that provides an unblinking look at modern food production. No voice overs, no music, just wide screen looks at how our food is produced (which involves surprisingly few humans you consider the sheer quantities of food we produce)…
Part 1 of 10 is shown below. Our Daily Bread may be seen in its entirety here.”

2. Click Order, then type in your address to find stores near you.
3. Choose the store you want, then create your order for a medium one-topping pizza.

Drawing: Burger King Whopper Bar
Burger King has opened a new concept restaurant called the “Whopper Bar” in an Orlando entertainment complex. They hope to open 300-500 of the stand alone mini-restaurants. Though you can order some of the traditional options from the “bar favorites” menu, the concept is to allow people to customize their burgers. You’ll be able to watch them assemble your meal similar to Subway, with 22 ingredients to choose from.

Since I like my Whopper with no mayo, light on the onions, extra pickles, and lots of black pepper, this is probably a good place to try!
BYOB in Chicago
TOC created a handy little list of Chicago restaurants where you can BYOB. The list mentions which places have a corking fee (I try to never go to those!) and which are free. It’s broken down by cuisine which is very useful.
The list is pretty abbreviated though, so check out Metromix for the big daddy BYOB list (385 restaurants!).
You’re in luck! Check this list to find out where you can get your fix this weekend across Chicagoland.
Cemitas Puebla is a family owned restaurant in Chicago specializing in Poblano foods. They are the only place in Chicago where you can get a “cemita”, which is a sandwich on sesame seed bread layered with avocado, choice of meat, adobo chipotle peppers, fresh Oaxacan cheese and papalo. Papalo is an herb similar to cilantro (which I love), and cemitas is a variation of the Mexican torta (which I also love).
Cemita Milanesa
I saw them on the Food Network’s “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives” and I just have to check this place out! Sounds tasty. They even have a coupon available on the site.
You know EZ Cheese, the most fun way to eat processed cheese spread on a cracker? This is the breakfast version: Organic Batter Blaster Pancake and Waffle Mix.
Organic Batter Blaster c/o DailyCandy
I have to confess, I want this stuff! Yes I really am that lazy. Just point, blast and cook!
Burger King Cologne
From the BK press release: “The King is setting hearts ablaze for the holidays with his new scent of choice. FLAME™, a new men’s body spray by Burger King Corp., features the scent of seduction with the hint of flame-broiled meat.”
The only thing I can think of is the segment on SNL with Amy Poehler and Seth Myers… REALLY?
According to my brother, blogging about this is fulfilling BK marketing’s wet dream since generating a buzz was their intention. I can’t help myself though, this is just too… gross. (And there are not hordes of you reading this anyway, right?)
