Mmm, Midweek Quick Links
• Interesting: right on the heals of conquering the food media with Adam Segar's new baconcello, Osteria via Stato has transformed itself into Pizzeria via Stato. Sad to see Osteria's family-style small plates go. Correction: Just the bar section of Osteria will become Pizzeria. Blame a poorly written press release for the confusion.
• Chicagoist also notes Bridgeport Coffee House's charity coffee blends.
• There's the "Check Please!" Effect, and there's the Saveur Effect. Burt's Pizza in Morton Grove is suffering from the latter after its loving coverage in the magazine's October Chicago issue.
&mbull; MenuPages Chicago notes that Vella Cafe has expanded its hours to include dinner -- as long as you don't mind being done with dinner by 7pm
• It's getting chilly, so it's definitely soup season. Centerstage rounds up some of the city's best.
• Or you could make your own. Bunny Pie has you covered with an acorn squash soup recipe.
• On the fall food tip, Pro Bono Baker shares a recipe for Brussels sprouts and white beans.
• Oh, and if you're carving a jack'o'lantern, you should make roasted pumpkin seeds. Yum.
• Last week's Dish included a little more info about Butter's closing, news that NY chef Marcus Samuelsson is coming to town with a new restaurant this spring, and an interview with LTHForum's David Dickson about their Great Neighborhood Restaurants awards.
• Help save a historic Chicago brewery!
• Cheese shop Pastoral's Loop location is finally open.
