Take Me Out Chinese recovers from their recent fire and re-opens on Saturday, October 18th. They’ll be handing out their free signature hot wings. Owner Karen Lim also says that she’s decided to go away from the Buffalo wing style in favor of the Great Seas Chinese restaurant (owned by her folks) “lollipop” style from here on out. She says, “I hate to admit it…but parents are always right!”

I’m probably the last person in the world to link to this, but Mike Gebert’s Sky Full of Bacon video podcast featuring some pig head goodness shouldn’t be missed. It’s totally safe for work, unless you work at the Chicago Diner.
