Whoa whoa whoa. Hold up. Mario & Gino's closed?
Closed for the second time actually.
I spoke to the owner yesterday as he was doing some final painting. He said they will open on Friday.
I hope this place works out.
Really. It's hard to believe - it somehow magically stayed open despite operating just three months (or whatever) out of the year for such a long time, I just assumed they had some sort of amazing restaurant mojo.As a mattra-fact, Pie Face, you are beginning to look almost human. - Barbara Bennett

So BellyQ has a separate name for their to-go business - BQ2Go.
I wonder if Carriage House will try to brand their carry-out, with a name based on another type of outbuilding common in the south.

Just last week, the awning was covered, the place appeared to be dark, and there have been no FB posts since 6/30. But a sandwich board said Capone's Hideout with an arrow pointing towards the door. The awning is back with the "new" name and no sandwich board, but there is no FB page and no info on Capone's page. Weird. I hope they kept the decor. I'll have to stop in to see what the cafe menu consists of.
Now the Village Cafe awning is gone and the Capone's Hideout banner is back up. Whatever.

Just stopped in to see what the place is like and found out that the owner was the former owner of Park Pointe Grill in Fresh Farms. He said they needed the space and bought him out, so the benefits are twofold: more yummy to come at Fresh Farms, and another place to eat near work. They have a handful of salads and sandwiches pre-made, and a nice selection of French and Mid East sweets. They have individual marjolaines!!

The team today announced a new licensing deal with O'Hare food-service provider HMSHost and the Chicago Department of Aviation to debut the Cubs Bar & Grill, which will open Tuesday.

I had the menu for the place in hand when I typed the post, the name of the place is indeed Firewood Kabob. They have a web site listed at the bottom of the menu as http://www.firewoodkabob.com This URL will take you to a very basic web site.

Post #196 - September 26th, 2012, 1:18 pmBel 50, a play on Belgium and its location at 50 degrees north latitude, to open in late October at 738 N. Clark St.
http://www.chicagobusiness.com/article/20120926/BLOGS09/120929909/whats-for-lunch-a-waffle-sandwichBel 50 will be a fast-casual concept where diners place orders at the register and a runner delivers it to their table. While most think of Belgian waffles as a thick, sweet confection, Mr. Jandovitz said his recipe (developed with the help of chef and television food show host Joey Altman) has “80 percent less sugar” and “tastes like country bread.” He'll stuff the bread with fillings such as pork belly or burrata cheese.Never order barbecue in a place that also serves quiche - Lewis Grizzard

Chicago Mag " The Dish" email this afternoon said thy Alain's will reopen on Monday......The fledgling South Looper Alain’s was forced to close temporarily after being served with an eviction notice last weekend. Things will be up and running again by Monday.

Post #198 - September 26th, 2012, 5:54 pmFrom Dish, a new spot in Lincoln Square:Le Café (4655 N. Lincoln Ave., 773-878-2233), a bakery and café in Lincoln Square that opened a week ago, makes all its own pastries daily, including items such as lemon meringue tart, chocolate espresso tart, raspberry white mousse cake, and beignets like the powdered-sugar-dusted New Orleans originals. Danielle Papakanelou, a French Pastry School grad, starts the baking at 4 a.m., and then the café opens at 8, serving breakfast and lunch until 9 p.m. during the week and 11 p.m. on weekends. “If you want eggs for dinner, you can have eggs for dinner,” Papakanelou says. Somehow, it’s not that hard to find places that will serve you breakfast at dinnertime, but is there any place that serves dinner food at breakfast?

Post #201 - September 27th, 2012, 6:55 pmTeam behind Vie to open a German restaurant within a restaurant.Chef Nathan Sears of the Michelin-starred Vie is partnering with Adam Hebert, also formerly of Vie, and chef-owner Paul Virant, of Vie and Perennial Virant, to open a German restaurant inside a restaurant.
Radler and DAS are a new concept, at least to Chicago. The latter, a fine-dining chef's table, will sit inside the former, which will be affordable German pub fare with a Bavarian beer hall. Both are set to open next spring or early summer — most likely in a 3,200-square-foot Logan Square space.

Looks like they are open for dinner now. I bicycle-commute to work most days (when weather's nice) and ride past this place. Tonight, they were definitely open, and I am pretty sure I smelled the aroma of food cooking over wood.
