  1. Eating strategically for health

    Restaurant Michael in Winnetka feels a bit like stepping back into the famed Le Francais dining room in Wheeling, except it's cozier, a touch more casual, with brighter lighting and upbeat jazz gently playing on the speakers. It all makes sense because chef Michael Lachowicz cut his culinary teeth at Le Francais and in Lyon, France, but he is also a dedicated Harley rider who started working in his grandfather's family restaurant in Chicago at a very young age. His love of French cooking, the kind that is hearty, full-bodied and artistically satisfying, saturates the menu with such items as confit cabbage, pommes Anna, salade Lyonnaise and pork galantine. Just back from some R and R and a successful marriage proposal in Florida, Lachowicz and I talked over a plate of pates in his newest addition to the restaurant, a charming side dining room, complete with a fireplace. This is an edited version of that conversation.

  5. Interview: Imagine Dragons singer savors flight on the wings of success

    Midway through my conversation with Imagine Dragons lead singer <strong>Dan Reynolds</strong> and his wife, <strong>Aja Volkman</strong>, in Nellcote's private dining area last week, Volkman &mdash; whose band, Nico Vega, opened for Imagine Dragons earlier that night at the House of Blues &mdash; lifted up a blanket to reveal the couple's 7-month-old daughter, <strong>Arrow Eve</strong>. She had been sleeping next to Volkman in the booth the entire time.

  8. Sighting: Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield reunite in Chicago supermarket

    Chicago once again played host to a <strong>Mike Tyson</strong><strong>-Evander Holyfield</strong> reunion Saturday, just like it did when the two former boxing rivals appeared on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" in 2009. But rather than reunite in front of a live studio audience, they smiled and hugged at the Jewel-Osco at 1655 E. 95th St.

But there's really no one thread that neatly ties together the Chicago restaurant scene these last 12 months. A restaurant that put Chicago on the culinary map 25 years ago closed its doors. Doughnuts became "a thing." Digging up mushrooms from the forest preserve took on high status.
