Podcasts about chicago's west loop

It's almost harvest time for City Winery in Chicago's West Loop and Caroline Schrader is preparing for a new season.  WBBM's Lisa Fielding explains...

Chef Stephanie Izard invited me into the in the basement of her restaurant Girl and the Goat while the staff prepared for parties, evening service and nationwide expansion. And while we talked about goals, business, family and what it takes to be a boss, we were just steps away from where the the story of an empire sprawling all took place. She's planted her adorable goat logo all around Chicago's west loop at Little Goat Diner, Duck Duck Goat, Goat Group Catering, and Baobing. Titles for someone as accomplished as Izard are almost better suited for a wikipedia entry. Chef and Partner at all of the hot spots in Chicago's West Loop as well as the author of two books - Girl in the Kitchen and Gather and Graze. And if you've ever turned on the Food Network, you know her face from her victories on Top Chef and Iron Chef. But what you don't know about Chef Izard is that she's sort of my idol - she's a lot of people's idol. She's brimming with the kind of humility you only find in the midwest, packed with the work ethic that carried her from restaurant opening to restaurant opening. Her nose is to the grindstone, she lets creativity guide her, and she makes delicious food - and that's why she's so lovable. The Top Chef audience agreed, voting her The People's Choice during her season -making her to first to ever win the People's Choice and the title of Top Chef. "It always catches me off guard, like 'Oh yeah, I'm supposed to be inspiring.'" Izard told me as I inquired about the young chefs who reach out to her for advice. And all of the things she's accomplished, you'll hear on this week's episode of #WeGotGoals, were the result of letting creativity and inspiration guide her. That's why people look up to her. She's not in the habit of writing down goals, but instead listening to the voice that won't let her get comfortable. Leaning into challenge is the stuff that builds legacies. And all of this is why every interaction I've had with Izard has been memorable - I make reference to a few of them throughout the interview. But none was more crystalized than the time she answered my desperate tweet more than eight years ago to get my mom (a gigantic Top Chef and Izard fan) into the newly opened Girl and the Goat, putting us at the Chef's table and stopping by to hug my mom. I walked away from that dinner knowing that I wanted to care about something as much as Izard did. After you listen to Chef Stephanie Izard on #WeGotGoals, you're sure to walk away hungry. Stop by any of her restaurants (you'll have to wait just a little bit longer for Girl and The Goat in LA). And if you can't wait for a Goat restaurant to experience her food, buy her spices and sauces wherever you live.   If you like what you hear, please subscribe to #WeGotGoals on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or any other podcasting app, and while you’re at it, leave us a rating or a review.

In this pretty experimental episode of the podcast, my good friend Jean-Paul (JP) Biondi and I attempted a wild and live recording out in Chicago's West Loop. We thought it might be a good idea to test the hype of Au Cheval, a restaurant that according to many reviews has one of the very best burgers in Chicago and even America. For those who follow the podcast, we heard of JP before in the Chicago Summer Sounds episode, but this time we have a proper conversation, punctuated by background music, and opinions about the food we're eating. We used to work together at Saatchi & Saatchi in Singapore, a large advertising agency, and now he is the Marketing Manager for the Midwest at Lyft, the ride sharing company. A few questions to ponder in this episode: Is it worth all the hype? Is the Au Cheval burger really that good? Does this sound good at all, and is it a good idea for an amateur podcaster to be recording in bars and restaurants? Does an audio description of food sound interesting? A few things mentioned in the episode: Lone Wolf Tavern 3 Floyds Brewing Company Lyft Au Cheval Diner Chicago Au Cheval on Yelp "Why People Wait for Hours to Eat Au Cheval's Cheeseburger" (Eater Chicago) Priestdaddy: A Memoir, Patricia Lockwood The Wanderers, Meg Howrey Splendor (board game) Betrayal at the House on the Hill (board game) Cards Against Humanity 7th Sea (roleplaying game)

Rather than competing to acquire the collection on behalf of the University, Goldsby focused on making it available to the widest number of people possible, and keeping it in the Defender's hometown.Experts from the University of Chicago's Special Collections Research Center counseled Sengstacke on the ways such a collection might be housed. Goldsby inventoried to assess the research value of its contents. Ultimately the University of Chicago Library agreed to create and maintain a database of the collection's contents and a digital archive of its 4,000 images.Those labors bore fruit when Sengstacke announced he was donating his family's massive collection to the Chicago Public Library's Vivian G.
