Mmm, Midweek Links

• There were plenty of election parties last night, but 312 Dining Diva points out a couple places where you can continue the celebration.

• Speaking of which, here's what was served in the VIP tent at last night's Grant Park rally. [via]

• OpenTable is sponsoring a pre-Thanksgiving restaurant week, dubbed the Appetite Stimulus Plan. Reserve now.

• Or buy a bird and call up the Butterball Turkey Hotline, which is now open for its annual call barrage.

• Joelen is taking her culinary adventures to Devon Avenue, and wants your suggestions.

• Misty Tosh opts for a pupusas over Filipino food, with good results (but vows to try the Filipino place soon.)

• MenuPages Blog says goodbye to Eater Chicago, which may never launch, and Chef Paul Kahan's admission that Yelp and foodbloggers might just have utility after all. (His "culinary talk radio" analogy is a good one.)

• Sky Full of Bacon also comments on Eater Chicago's demise, and then on the response to said comments. Eater Editor Ben Leventhal commented on that post, so maybe we can expect a third link in this chain.

• Chuck Sudo celebrates hot pepper month.

• Alinea at Home tackles its first recipe, Bacon, Butterscotch, Apple, Thyme.

• Grant Achatz and Wired's Nathan Myhrvold talked food and technology in New York last week. Serious Eats has some highlights, or you can download an mp3 of the talk here.

• An even worse one for beloved Irazu.

• Save money by sprouting your own bean sprouts!

• Mmm, baconcello. Again you call to us.
