After you get $.85 glazed doughnuts from Stan's Donuts tomorrow, think about trying other joints. From juice endorsed by Jay Cutler to sausages combined with medieval jousting, here are some tasty picks.
John Schiff quit his job on Wall Street to follow his dream of opening a juice bar. Now Lincoln Park's Real Good Juice Co. is serving up smoothies endorsed by Jay Cutler and Kristen Cavillari. Try the Juice-Tin-Bieber (almonds, coconut nectar and sea salt), the Juice Willis (carrots, coconut water and lime), or the Bears QB's signature juice, the Cutler #6, which contains spinach, carrot, celery, cucumber, apple and lemon. A portion of sales of the Cutler #6 go toward the Jay Cutler Foundation.
Goodbye, Magic. Hello, Antonios. A Mount Greenwood staple has a new owner, a new name and big new menu. The fast-casual neighborhood joint has 99 menu items - breakfast, lunch and dinner - and has a special focus on Greek treats like spanakopita and tyropita.
It's National Sandwich Month, and Duran European Sandwich Cafe, 529 N Milwaukee Ave., is celebrating hard. Check out the shop's 35 European-style sandwiches (read: open face) in the only U.S. iteration of the famous Austrian Duran cafes. Our Kyla Gardner checked out the cafe and filed this video report
Lastly, this weekend is the Chicago Sausage Fest, which will include jousting with knights from Medival Times and the annual crowning of the Sausage King of Chicago, which for some reason never acknowledges Abe Froman. Check out the alligator sausage from Chicago's Dog House, or dogs inspired by southern African cuisine from Haute Sausage.
The festival will take place at St. Michael's Church in Old Town, 1633 N. Cleveland Ave., Friday through Sunday and will also include a performance by The Verve Pipe.
