Piece of Cake

Srsly. If you have not eaten of the joy which is a Cakewich, from Dogtown's delightful Cakery Bakery, you have not lived, my friends.

Made of leftover squares of sheet cake, the Cakewich wedges in a layer of delicious, creamy frosting in-between, and ends up tasting like a hunk of the best wedding cake you ever had. Comes in vanilla and chocolate, from what I could see on my last visit.

Also, they make the most amazing cookies and cupcakes: they ain't cheap, mind you, but it ain't braggin' if you can do it.

Blow for Vegetarians

Our eyes-on-the-street tell us that Lifestyles Café, the meatless soul food purveyor near The Loop, has closed its doors, and will open later this week only to sell off fixtures and whatnot.

Their "crab" cakes were delish. We shall be sorry to see them go.
