Two years ago today I took the baton of this food blog. With climate change of all kinds, we did celebrate our one year anniversary. Today we pass on to the great beyond.
WBEZ will continue to cover food, sometimes with me. Please stay tuned.
Special thanks to Justin Kaufmann, Steve Edwards, Andrew Gill, Elliott Ramos, Kate Dries, Robin Amer, Tricia Bobeda, and Tim Akimoff.
But really thanks to everyone at BEZ.

Or look for me and my dog Kiba in the side yard at Bang Bang Pie Shop in Logan Square where we’ll be sharing a warm Midwest biscuit with Smoking Goose ham, all the housemade butter and jam, plus at least one slice of pie.
And a big thanks to you too. Cheers!
