Lost Bacon Warehouse

I know what you're thinking. That title has to be a mistake. I mean, a "lost bacon warehouse" sounds like a dream. Can you imagine finding this "lost bacon warehouse" abandoned? It's heaven! Instead, these are some things I found! Take a look and find out exactly why all I do at work is surf the web instead of working! IO?ION! Watches

At Spare Parts: 2947 N Broadway, btw Wellington and Oakdale; Lakeview; 773.525.4242

Just dropped at Spare Parts, these Italian-made ultra-light and ultra-cheap (under $30) silicon sport watches recently made their way stateside in more than 20 colors from Military Green to Cardinal Red to Powder Blue, which is how you'd feel too if you were a weird albino kid who hung out with Jeff Goldblum.

Bacon Fat Candles

At David Burke's Primehouse: 616 N Rush St, btw Ohio and Ontario; River North; 312.660.6000

Step into Primehouse and order up these part lighting, part flavor little beauties that melt down, then watch the waiter pour the bacon-y goodness all up in your food (they've also recently dabbled in getting some vinaigrette in there and using it to dress a spinach salad). The candles are even available for take-home use in the kitchen or bedroom, provided the missus doesn't keep kosher.

Blackhawks At Zella

1983 N Clybourn, at Racine; Lincoln Park; 773.549.2910

In celebration of the Hawks' return from their Olympic hiatus, Zella's is offering a free sandwich (kicked w/ fries or tots) to any patrons who show up for games sporting their jersey. Wash things down with a $5 bomb-style shot of half Jameson, half cinnamon schnapps dropped into a Guinness called "Fire In The Hull" (What? No "Blame it on the Kane"?).

Ready that jersey and pick out your sandwich at ZellaChicago.com





Never Seen Lost

From a Chi dude who managed to avoid a certain uber-complicated island-related drama all this time, NSL is his hilariously written (and illustrated) episode-by-episode analysis of the final season completed without the benefit of any previous context, much like every final season you experienced in college.
