WBEZ 91.5 Chicago

Food can be fun, but around here, it’s no joke. That being said, this week still promises a good time for foodies looking for a sense of whimsy but free from the fear of hoaxes and tricks.

  The 4th Annual Restaurant Week (Feb 18 – 27) kicks off today featuring discounted dining at more than 200 of Chicago’s finest restaurants.

People love it; people hate it. There may be no more of a polarizing day than Valentine’s Day, but it’s that time again, and whichever side of the fence you’re on, this week’s Forecast has got you covered.

With the winter chill and the holidays approaching, there's no better way to celebrate than with food, desserts and booze. So light up your menorah and go out on the town for the Chanukah pub crawl, or indulge in special sweets at Logan Square's Christmas Market.

A small-business incubator has won a round in a long fight against Chicago red tape.Over the last six years, at least three shared kitchens have opened in Chicago.
