    My Chicago restaurant list has officially been updated through March 2026. These are all the places I've visited over the past 2 years. It includes more about 175 spots. There are pages by cuisine, neighborhood, and for my favorite restaurants.

    Good thing Tom Brady doesn’t seem like the sort of person who’d be motivated by a perceived slight and endure an entire NFL season to prove a point.

    I have a lot of respect for Ryan Gosling's refusal to mail in anything ever. The man had a legitimately legendary performance in a fucking SNL digital short.

    Josh Allen is like a human monster truck with the soul of a labradoodle that's fueled by Four Loko. A singular, unhinged experience.

    Huge for the Seahawks to get those two 1st-round picks. Gives them the ammunition to trade for the next safety who hits the market.

    The last two weeks were fake Thursday Night Football. A near-classic shootout and a matchup between quality, capable teams is not what TNF stands for. Nix-Rattler harkens back to better days. Simpler days. Mariota-Bortles color-rush days. A fitting ode to those who came before.

    Some thoughts: The Bears trading a 4th-round pick and giving $20 million guaranteed to Nick Foles when Andy Dalton was available in FA only to sign Andy Dalton a year later — with Foles still on the roster — is objectively hilarious.

    Apparently, the Ravens' answer to not having Zay Flowers is to play football without wide receivers.

    The staff at the restaurant was so impressed with my lunch order that they asked if they could take a picture of me.
