• Chicagoist notes that the championship burrito match was scheduled to be today on the Burrito Bracket, but the site’s referee has fallen a tad behind. Best of luck picking up the pieces!
• Drive-Thru is participating in this year’s Menu for Hope fundraiser. You buy raffle tickets for prizes donated by food blogs, and the money goes to the WFP. This sounds like a pretty good cause.
• The Food Chain and The Stew are both on top of jamon iberico’s arrival in Chicago. It’s pricy (maybe ~$90/lb) and will sell out quickly; both posts have a list of restaurants and specialty food stores where it’s currently available.
• The TOC Blog discovers that FOX and Gordon Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares is considering Negro League Cafe and Haro for its whip-the-restaurant-into-shape treatment next season. A Pyrrhic victory, we feel.
