Mmm, Midweek Links

Zagaz Buzz interviews Avec's Koren Grieveson.

312 Dining Diva interviews Brian Huston, the chef at Paul Kahan's yet-to-be-named gastropub.

Dish interviews Binny's South Loop cheese expert Gary Williams, and has news of Geno Bahena's latest mole joint, coming in June.

• In honor of Passover, Centerstage has recommendations for kosher restaurants.

• Details puts Lem's on its list of the America's best barbecue.

• On Hungrymag, the making of new restaurant mado. (The story came out in NewCity last week, but I prefer Hungry's clean design to their green-grey-beige hideousness.)

Kraft is looking to Cool Whip in a spray can and mac'n'cheese flavored crackers (I thought those were called Cheezits?) to help boost its bottom line.

• Somewhat old news, but LTH Forum now has a section devoted to gardening, farming and foraging.
