...with your hot dog, there are lots of other venues to choose from. Foremost is Portillo's, tel: (1-312) 587 8910. The main location is at 100 W. Ontario, but there are more than 30 branches in the Chicago area - and many are appointed in riotous, 1960s American kitsch, including old cars hanging from the ceilings.

It is legible cubism, shorn of its ambiguities. Under the modern surface, there is always a hint of the sublime, the transcendental, perilously near to kitsch--Crystal Cathedral uplift, the fount of much hotel-lobby art and many a "serious" get-well card...
...cool, odd and interesting things happening online and off-like the bit about the engineering student who cobbled together an air conditioner using a fan and a bucket of ice water, and the Florida couple who found the image of Jesus on a Lay's potato chip. Gadget news, kitsch, digital art and disturbing consumer trends are all fair game for the Boing Boing team, which solicits, and vets, suggestions from the audience...
