- Pan con burrata and "Greg's meatballs"
In our Cocktail Challenge Steve Carrow of Naha, challenged by Justin Anderson with the cheese powder from a box of Kraft mac 'n' cheese, made the Wilbur and a Cackleberry Dragged Through Wisconsin, a bacon-and-egg cocktail topped with a dollop of cheese powder foam ("wilbur" is diner slang for bacon, "cackleberry" for egg). He's challenged Derek Alexander of Longman & Eagle with baby formula (Alexander's a new father).
In the listings are restaurants that have made River North Mexican central, among them relative newcomers Cantina Laredo and Dos Diablos, as well of course as Rick Bayless's Frontera Grill, Topolobampo, and Xoco. In other Bayless news, this week a Tortas Frontera opened in the Loop at 10 S. Dearborn.
