• This ad on the Near West Side for a Brazilian-distilled (but NYC-owned) cachaça leans more toward the porn end of the foodporn. How soon do the protests start, you think?
• Michael Nagrant gets inside the Urban Belly.
• 312 Dining Diva lets us know The Bristol opens September 18, and that blue "Barack Attack" sushi will appear at Ra on Friday. Er, yum.
• The Obama cookies we told you about last week have a McCain counterpart. Biden and Palin are on their way.
• Misty Tosh loves pozole, and thinks you should too.
• Missed this last week: The Tribune details a new exhibit at the Museum of Science & Industry called "Fast Forward ... Inventing the Future," which includes technology by Chef Homaro Cantu. [via]
• Chicago Bites visits West Town Tavern with the Local Tourist.
• Having had the Malai Kofta at Bhabi's Kitchen back when it was still a secret special, I can vouch personally for how tasty it is. Now you can get it any time you like.
