I want a “reverse Costco” where you can buy small amounts of items you will rarely use again, like specialty ingredients. Let me pay $1 for 1 oz of fish sauce. Yes, I can get much more for not that much more money but then I’ll feel guilty every time I see it in my fridge.

If your bakery makes Italian butter cookies with margarine your are dead to me.

Growing up in and around NW Chicago there’s no better documentation of late 70s/early 80s around those neighborhoods like a John Wayne Gacy documentary.

I love how folks in other parts of the country are panic buying groceries, but in Chicago, it's just another day of waiting your turn for tamales and hot chocolate.
