Taste Chicago

Hey Bears fans! You may not have realized it, but this Wednesday (April 3rd) is the 10-year anniversary of the now-infamous Cutler trade. It’s been ten years. Crazy, right?

With that in mind, I brought in WCG Historian Jack M Silverstein to help me dive deep into Bears History to answer two major questions:

And the Cubs take the series from the Brewers! That feels like a big one already.

Although the night, like the series, won’t be one that the offense will put on its refrigerator, they scored enough to win tonight without the benefit of 15 innings. Kris Bryant went deep again, and also scored the leading run on a Javy Baez double earlier in the game.

I've always gushed over GT Fish & Oyster's garlic-and-tomatoes infused mussels, so you can only imagine my glee when I learned I'd finally be able to re-create the dish at home.

GT chef/partner Giuseppe Tentori announced Tuesday that he contributed to the newly released cookbook, L...

With their 2019 payroll expected to spike to a franchise-record level, the Cubs are sending left-hander Drew Smyly and his $7 million salary to the Texas Rangers in a trade Friday designed to help offset the $20 million cost of picking up left-hander Cole Hamels’ contract option for ’19.

A source confirmed the move, which was expected to become official later in the day.

The Cubs acquired Hamels from the Rangers in July, along with cash that included $6 million from ...
