Party favors from the snackpot

All pink

Join us for the launch of The Snackpot, the ultimate source for snack reviews, on May 10th at Schuba’s, 3159 N. Southport Ave. (upstairs). Complementary snacks from Pop Chips, Pretzel Chips and a very special snack created by Top Chef’s Chuy Valencia will be provided at the party as well.

Attendees will enjoy free beer from 7pm-9pm and DJ sets by Pat Sission, Ed Anderson and Johnny Loftus.

Doejo is proud to have created The Snackpot’s flying Twinkie logo and, of course, the forthcoming site. The company, which launches on May 7th, will also provide commentary, testimonials, experimentation and observations on how snacking intersects with pop culture.

I owned one of these for 2010 and let me tell you. You easily get your money’s worth.
GREAT gift for foodies or if you want, break up the cards and slip them in a few Christmas cards for several different people. This is a great gift especially for couples. Also, do your part! Help small businesses!

I just bought my Tour De Cafe card! It’s a $20 card that gets you 1 cup of coffee at 20 different coffee shops around Chicago. There’s 7 or 8 that I haven’t been to yet and I’m really excited to check them out.

It’s a great deal, you should grab one and start chugging.

Big Stuff Opens, Offers Biggest Pizza Slices in Chicago

Well now this is a trend we can easily get behind: pizza slices as big as your … Mini Cooper? That seems to be the case at Big Stuff, which opened in late December by longtime friends Jay Gorenstein, who owns Addison’s Nana’s Hot Dogs and Italian Beef, and Evan Rubin.

The new counter-service shop, which used to house the Spicy Pickle, serves large portions of everything—pizza, salads, sandwiches and even “little stuff” for kids.
