So who else is looking forward to sweater weather when it’s 45 degrees in Chicago next week?

In honor of #NationalPizzaDay today, tell me where you’re from by only replying with the name of a local pizza place in your hometown or neighborhood.

Okay Super Bowl party people, what’s on your Mount Rushmore of Chips?

If you have Disney+, today’s a good day to watch The ‘85 Bears 30 for 30.

Just remember... Your Super Bowl spread isn't complete without a Jewel cookie cake.

Scott Changnon and I first teamed up back in 2016, which was a pretty, pretty, pretty big year to be covering Chicago sports… We talk about our time at NBC Sports/CSN Chicago, his decision to join Marquee, adding photography to his skillset, and a lot more! wgnradio.com/jobs/career-...

Our Girl Scout Cookie dealer dropped off the goods today. What’s your go-to order?

Tried Uncle Jerry’s Pizza Company for the first time, finally…and it is, indeed, top tier pizza. My dad said the sauce tasted like my grandma’s recipe and that just makes it even more special.

I want to preface this by saying I mean know offense to anyone I know that works for the White Sox or has to cover them this weekend… But having SoxFest right now is weird, right? If it was a 20th anniversary party for the ‘05 team or Buehrle got in the HOF, it’d be different. But it’s not.

Still cold out but at least it looks cool!

True Detective Season 5: Ben Johnson & Caleb Williams. 😎

When you’re watching Hercules and you realize it wasn’t Simba that avenged Mufasa but…Hercules.

My favorite taste of home: JJ Twigs You also know you’re having elite Chicago area pizza when it comes in a box (or bag) like this.

For those of you that started watching James Bond movies AFTER playing Goldeneye, how shocked were you when you found out Oddjob wasn’t actually short?

It’s cold, but at least it’s pretty.

What’s a Chicago food item that you haven’t had in a long time, but now you’re craving it because this made you think about it? Me: The Ricobenes breaded steak sandwich

Taking my daughter to her first @nhlblackhawks.bsky.social game tonight! 🏒 Do you remember the first game you ever attended, or at least who was on the team when you went?

Two Chicago food legends (Piece Pizza & Hot Doug’s) are teaming up to support PAWS Chicago. They brought their ‘Bill & Doug’s Excellent Adventure’ pizza by and joined us on the Chicago’s Very Own Eats podcast this week. Listen at wgnradio.com/chicagos-ver...

Now I can add back-to-back fantasy football champion to my resume, email signature and LinkedIn.

Today started with the breakfast of champions, North Fork Doughnut Company (aka NOFODOCO) 🍩

Pizza Friday (New York Edition) with Primavera in North Fork 🍕 From front to back: - Chicken Parm - Pepperoni with extra cheese and extra sauce - Sausage, Onion and green pepper - Cheese

This is my “out of office” message.

On my last day for the year, I wanted to take photos with some of my favorite people at work to show my daughter during our holiday break. There are tons more not pictured, but I’m planning to take as many #TeamPhotos with friends and family as possible in 2025.

What was the best thing you ate in the Chicago area this year? What we had for the first time. What we had for the first time in a long time. Favorite pizza, burgers, barbecue, donuts, comfort food, and more on the Chicago’s Very Own Eats Podcast! wgnradio.com/chicagos-ver...

Me, everyday since the Washington disaster, thinking about every game the Bears should have won this year:

Took a Sunday night family stroll through Lilacia Park 🎄

My wife’s choir was invited to perform at the Lincoln Center in New York next April. Unfortunately a majority of the group was scammed out of thousands of dollars by someone that hacked their travel agency’s email. If you can, please consider helping out. www.gofundme.com/f/restore-be...

Celebrating Taylor Swift’s birthday properly with a trip to the Merry Swiftmas House in Naperville.

This might be the most important thing I've ever posted to our website. Thank you to @peterjzimm.bsky.social and Mollie for putting our Top 20 Hallmark Christmas Movies of All-Time list together! Serious stuff here! wgnradio.com/home-for-the...

We endure these single-digit degree days in Chicago to better appreciate the rest of our days that are above 35 degrees.

Which Chicago suburb has the best downtown to visit during the holidays?

Sam Smith’s “The Lighthouse Keeper” has been played a lot in our house this holiday season. When you listen, I think you’ll know why. open.spotify.com/track/2WUVQQ...

Don’t know who needs to hear this (yes I do), but it costs nothing to keep some of your thoughts to yourself.

If we’re putting together an office etiquette list of rules to hang on a wall and adhere to, what would be high on your list? Microwaving fish is Top 3 for me. And anyone doing so before 10 AM should be escorted from the building immediately.

Finally caught up on this season of British Bake Off and if you didn’t cry watching Patisserie Week, I question your humanity.

Shoutout your local Chicago area coffee shop!

You live in the Chicago area and you’re picking up something for dinner just for you. What are you picking up?

It's the early 2000s. Bottom of the 9th. Bases are loaded with 2 outs and you need a grand slam to win. Which of these two all-time Chicago sluggers do you want at the plate?

Saved us our own Bakers Square French Silk pie for after the holiday, which anyone who hosts Thanksgiving should have for themselves.

We had a Merry Kim’s Uncle Pizza-mas last night 🍕 Best Chicago thin crust you’ll find.

This might be the most Chicago suburb thing you see today: I picked up a Maxwell polish at Home Depot to have while I wait in line to pick up my pre-ordered French Silk pies at Bakers Square for Thanksgiving.

Somehow Apple ruined their calculator app with the new iOS update.

I think Will Arnett is great and Smartless will always be the way I start the work week for as long as it runs, but I will never get used to how his accent changes based on the guest they have. If you didn’t notice this until now, you’re welcome.

Raise your hand if you’ll be multitasking getting the house ready for hosting Thanksgiving and watching the Bears game ✋

The Piff Family’s first Magnificent Mile Lights Festival!

Shoutout a Chicago area pizza place that deserves way more praise. Shout it loud too 🍕

This is my first “quote tweet” on this app and I think it’s a very, very worthy one.
