What Chicago is talking about this week:
Some are chatting about the BMX-style-snowmobilers that were Knievel-ing last night on the Wrigley parking lot (video below) ...
... a few are marvelling at how this season's Top Chef Texas is practically Top Chef Chicago, what with all the Chitowners that have made it through the opening round. I get that today's chefs are artists and that they use their bodies for expression, and I certainly don't mind the tattoos on every chef-testant as that would be a bit of black-calling vis-a-vis pots and kettles, but I am concerned about all the wild hair-dos and facial hair don'ts (bushy beards and fu manchus and porn 'staches, oh my!) -- I predict now that there will be a hair in a dish before this season has ended ...
... and hardly anyone at all seems to be discussing the first ever nation-wide test of the never ever used broadcast emergency system happening this Tuesday at 2pm EST for three full minutes. If the word doesn't get out more broadly, I have to wonder if things might get a little War of the Worlds-y (a la the radio stunt and not the Tom Cruise movie that somehow got released missing an ending). Don't panic on Tuesday afternoon -- it will just be a test, only a test.
IT WAS ONLY 7 SECONDS, BUT LOOK AT HIM FLY!:

IF THIS WERE A REAL EMERGENCY, YOU PROBABLY WOULDN'T BE WATCHING TV:
