Notes and news from around the blogosphere and local papers:
• Something Glorious reviews Achatz Handmade Pies, fresh from Michigan and available at Whole Foods locations around the city, and ponders a connection with Alinea's famous chef.
• Laura Oppenheimer at Chicagoist points out the lack of high-profile black chefs, and a commenter reinforces her point regarding minorities in general.
• Also, if you live in the 21st Ward, you can get free McDonald's hotcakes for voting early.
• The odd story of how an Elmhurst kid decorated Wyoming's "state egg" in the Park Ridge-based American Egg Board's annual display. (My favorite line: "Ivy had to scramble.")
• Fancy Toast got a mandoline slicer, and we get pretty pictures, tips on technique and yummy recipes.
