Now that CL has bought the Chicago Reader (one of the most revered alt-weeklies in the country) and the Washington City Paper (one of my favorite reads in college), I think it's time to start meeting our new office mates. Foodwise, that is.
You can find out about Grant Achatz's (of world famous Chicago laboratory-cuisiniarium Alinea) mouth cancer or read the torrid backstory of fresh mangosteens at the Reader's food blog — The Food Chain. In the DC City Paper, you can pick up tips on sneaking food into theaters or check out a list of farmers' markets to visit on your next trip to our Nation's Capital.
Check them out, kids. They're part of the family.
