This week, I'm joined by super-talented WGN-TV anchor/host/personality Marcus Leshock (a multiple Emmy winner! A WGN Employee of the Month!). Gaby from Borinquen Lounge (3811 N Western Ave, Chicago, IL 60618) jumps in the car with jibaritos that are beyond delicious: Fried plantains, steak, garlic mayo, cheese. They're the best jibaritos in Chicago, because BORINQUEN INVENTED JIBARITOS. Discussed this week: Gaby tells the history of the jibarito, starting with her uncle Peter Figuroa, who invented the sandwich. Marcus's jibarito challenge with a WGN co-worker. Did Marcus ever get tired of seeing himself all over the place when he worked for Metromix? Marcus's make up keeps him at the age of 25. Eating jibaritos in a car: "Messy adds to the experience." WGN-TV's morning show is a dynasty that ranks with the 1990s Bulls. The secret recipe to WGN's morning show success. Marcus's love for roller coasters, and his essential Great America coaster. Marcus talks about his career highlights. What's the one thing that's distinctly "Chicago?" Chicago vs. the suburbs. Going for jibaritos is like going to concerts in Chicago in the 1990s.

"Outlaw Run," one of the most highly anticipated roller coasters of 2013 opened this week at Silver Dollar City in Branson, MO. The new creation from Rocky Mountain Construction has set a world record for the steepest drop on a wooden coaster at 81 degrees. It's also the 2nd fastest wooden coaster in the world at 68 mph. Plus, it has the signature element of a double barrel roll that brings the train back into the station. On this week's show, we talk with Marcus Leshock, a reporter from WGN-TV in Chicago. Marcus made the 8-hour drive from the Windy City to Branson so he could be one of the first people to ride the coaster. He'll tell us if the hype is for real and if this new attraction will be a hit in 2013. We'll also talk with Kristin Siebeneicher, the Communications Manager at Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, NJ. Kristin will tell us about preparations for their Opening Day this weekend and details of their new "Safari Off Road Adventure" that is scheduled to open on Memorial Day. The combination of the theme park and the land for the new Safari attraction makes Six Flags Great Adventure the largest theme park in the world! So, there's a lot to be excited about. Plus, we have a Live Trip Report from the Ohana Restaurant at the Polynesian Resort at Walt Disney World and a whole lot more!
