Our friends at TheBachelorGuy.com turned us onto a hometown creation that we just had to share with you. Upscale downtown steakhouse David Burke’s Primehouse has entered into the ’scented candles’ business with a new line of Bacon Fat Candles.
David Burke’s, known for some of the best steaks in town, has a new table-top attraction made out of bacon fat. The lit candles dot all the tables in the restaurant and if the smell of fresh bacon wafting through the air isn’t enough – you can go ahead and pour the candle on your food when it comes out.
An edible bacon candle? Our minds were fully blown. I’d like to see that girly “Spring Breeze” or “Clean Linen” candle double as a dinner side-dish. Point: Bacon Candle. Or should we just call it a Bandle?
It may only be February 26th, but that doesn’t stop us from thinking about St. Patrick’s Day weekend. Not that we need another reason to celebrate everything Irish or for drinking, thank you Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. The reason everyone looks forward to these days is because of the green body paint, ridiculous hats and glasses, strange people in chicken suits and Irish Wolf Hounds the size of your girlfriend. That and getting to do things on the streets of Chicago that would normally land you a nifty little ticket.
104.3 JACK FM will part take in all the festivities (well most of them anyways) for the downtown Chicago St. Patrick’s Day Parade on Saturday, March 13th. It all kicks off at 12 Noon from Columbus & Balbo. Although we already know some hard core fans will start lining the streets at 9am and without the South Side St. Patrick’s Day parade on Sunday everybody needs somewhere to go.

The Chicago Spire project has become a joke of sorts around Chicago. From it’s financing woes to it’s phallic nature*, recent court filings are adding even more flacidity* to the project. Bank of America is suing Garrett Kelleher, the Spire’s current developer, for $110,000 in unpaid credit card bills. This is added to the current court statement filed in August against Kelleher’s company for $4.9 million borrowed for the 150-tall structure that just can’t seem to get erected*. Unfortunately for Kelleher, he has more than one hole to fill these days* – in the ground and in his bank account.
***All puns completely intended.
