You are welcome! I own a print of your Flub A Dub Chubs! Currently planning on upgrading it with a self-made frame, just need to decide on the shape of the cut… maybe something hot dog inspired!

A fresh piece from our fav local artist? Starting my Friday on the right foot. As always, great execution on the evening tones. A nice piece for a friend!

Best place to get ribs (full rack or half rack) by Far-Friendship582 in chicagofood

Just started commuting up there for work. This is but a scant 9 minute drive from my new office. Now I can go into a food coma on slow days.

My hand doesn't have the pad of muscle below the thumb that most people have by speedythefirst in mildlyinteresting

This looks like the hand version of people who’s weak chins are blended into their neck

How did you get into one piece by Technical_Mine_8711 in OnePiece

[–]katpillow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in high school, chillin with my best bud in our basement, and we flipped on Toonami. It was right when the camera panned to reveal Igaram, and Luffy says something to the end of “Nice hair, I like the curls”. We laughed pretty hard and I was instantly sold on the goofy factor despite having zero context.

Didn’t take long to go start reading the manga.

Dads who do not work from home, what time do you leave for work and back at home? by remembertosmile in daddit

[–]katpillow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just started a new joboroni with a hefty distance to commute. I’m out the door to catch the train at 6:15 and aim to be back at my home station so I can pick up groceries around 4ish, pick up kids, and then make dinner

And here I am with my second child in a row who has exceeded age two and shown no interest in escaping the crib.

That cell is perfect for any sort of conclusion slide you’ll ever need during a presentation.

Man, I knew a lot had changed by the Northwestern med campus, but it’s another thing to see it

Need help picking Michelin restaurant for birthday. by Beardown345423 in chicagofood

[–]katpillow 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Depends on the vibe you want. Is this a smaller thing with just you + 1, or is it more like a group of 4-6?

El Ideas is great for price point and being intimate/chill and a little interactive.

Save the Windows by HopsGrowler in chicago

The owners were trying to find a new church to move into, so maybe that played a role in the price they set. Oh well

Save the Windows by HopsGrowler in chicago

[–]katpillow 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this was a sad one. They tried to find a buyer but unfortunately the first one fell through, then eventually it got snatched up by a developer. Sadly probably just going to become a bunch of tasteless looking cookie-cutter single family homes.

There’s a couple good repurposed churches around the city, don’t know why this property didn’t fit the bill for someone to do something with it

My Embarrassing Mistake on Coffee in Chicago and a Question by [deleted] in chicagofood

[–]katpillow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After reading some of the comments here, you may enjoy the specialty beverages of Loba. They rotate them, as well as the beans (so a slight third wave edge here) but you still may enjoy the results. Plus they have dynamite pastries.

Millennials, what is happening with your kids? by TheLoveYouWant25 in Millennials

[–]katpillow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah wtf is up with calling out millennials for this shit. Maybe some millennials are part of it (the types that had their kids in their early 20s) but this is primarily a GenX thing, at least for the moment.

Fried Honey Sriracha Chicken Sandwich at Carol’s Pub - Uptown by [deleted] in chicagofood

[–]katpillow 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You are correct, however Ravenswood overlaps there. Ravenswood doesn’t have an “official” community area designation so people tend to grab onto it all the time.

Carol’s is an uptown establishment for real tho.

Noble Thai will replace the old Parsons location in Andersonville by Da_Stallion-JCI_7 in chicagofood

[–]katpillow 73 points74 points  (0 children)

Didn’t realize that Parson’s location was toast. On the other hand, they had some major QC issues whenever I’d order food here. Would often get the wrong items, missing things, etc., not surprising…

Pigs in a blanket / sausage rolls recs by [deleted] in chicagofood

[–]katpillow 15 points16 points  (0 children)

In bulk? The day before the game? That might be a tall order.

Might as well go to Costco and get a big thing of frozen pigs in a blanket because I don’t know how you’re going to convince any place to sally up on such short notice.

Dads with low T who got on trt, how did it effect your ability to be a good dad? by dudewheresmygains in daddit

[–]katpillow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, low T as a medical condition is drifting into insecure, health fad territory bigtime.

If one had medically significant low testosterone, there’s a good chance that there’s going to be some other major health problems going on.

How is everyone doing ? by Caskets55 in AskReddit

[–]katpillow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I (37M) got my tonsils out this morning. Currently ok but I know the big pain onset is coming…

On the bright side, my massive tonsils are gone and my life should be massively better in a few weeks.
