    That name, and its trite play on the words "it's all good", are just like the use of the name Saul Goodman in "Better Call Saul".


    What's funny is there is another fairly new coffee shop in downtown Skokie on Oakton with same kind of double entendre in the name of the business; Complimentary Cafe. Could be mistaken for FREE or Expressing a Compliment.

    The Green Post has expanded its hours to include some evenings. Apparently things are still in flux. When I walked past last evening about 6:30, the bar seats appeared completely filled.

    I went on black Friday for the USMNT England match. A great neighborhood bar with a nice Guinness pour.

    Had a limited menu but the corned beef hash pie was ridiculously good. Perfectly scrambled eggs in a mini pie/pastry crust.

    There is a new restaurant in the old Chez Simo Bistro place at 1968 W. Lawrence called Falcon’s Handcrafted Sandwiches. Wraps, salads, soups, burgers, pasta and some chicken entrees. Kids menu and weekend brunch. I couldn’t find them on line and the menu in the window didn’t have prices.

    2) Happy Lamb Hot Pot could be opening in Lincoln Park at 2707 N Clark St a little south of Diversey and near dim sum place D Cuisine. A new building permit was issued on Wednesday for the build out of a new restaurant. The owner on the permit appears to be the owner of Happy Lamb Hot Pot.



    They applied for a liquor license on Thursday 12/1 under the name Happy Lamb Hot Pot. All is confirmed now minus when it's opening. Appears to be soon, finally.

    B Square Pizza in Wheeling has closed. We were big fans of the pizza, salad and wings, but our last few times ordering were painful, with messed up orders, missing orders and long wait times for food. A short goodbye message is on their website.

    Never even knew it was there. Have a feeling I'm not the only one, which could be a big part of why they closed.

    Block Club reports Alexander’s Restaurant Now Open In Former Jeri’s Grill Space

     Alexander’s Restaurant is now open in the longtime home of Jeri’s Grill in North Center.

    The Mizhquiri family, which operates Alexander’s Restaurant at 6158 N. Clark St., bought the former Jeri’s Grill spot at 4357 N. Western Ave. earlier this year and spent months renovating and updating the interior. 

    The restaurant officially opened Wednesday and it’s open 6 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sundays.

    Some Evanston news:

    The vacant Stained Glass on Benson will become Fonda, a Mexican dining establishment owned by Michael Lachowicz.

    The former Farmhouse will be called Thomas and Dutch, says it is bringing “A Taste of the Midwest” to the site at the Hilton Orrington Hotel.

    As I was walking around downtown Wilmette yesterday, I saw a storefront with windows papered over with signs, "EvaDean's Bakery & Cafe, Coming in 2023". A quick browser search turned up their website and this article from last March:

    From Lad & Lassie to breakfast and lunch: Restaurant planned for vacant Wilmette building (The Record North Shore).

    On the website I noticed the photo of Jory Downer, longtime owner of Bennison's Bakery in Evanston, and then the article pointed out that his daughter is part of the couple opening EvaDean's.
