Ready for another week of affordable, multi-course meals at top Chicago restaurants?

Heck, yeah. 

Chicago Chef Week is underway, running through Saturday, during which some 52 restaurants will feature three-course lunches for $22 and three-course dinners for $33.

It sounds a bit like Chicago Restaurant Week, doesn’t it? Same prices, and indeed, some of the same restaurants. This week is a bit shorter and has far fewer participants, but you’ll still be able to dine at the likes of Avec, Big Jones, Bistronomic, Boka, C-House, Cibo Matto, Green Zebra, Hearty, Mana Food Bar, MK, Nana, Nightwood, Perennial, Sable, Sepia, Sola, Terzo Piano, Veerasway and Zealous.

You can find all the participating restaurants, and make online reservations, at the Chicago Chef Week website. Clicking on individual restaurants will link you to their respective sites, but as of this morning, very few had bothered to post their Chicago Chef Week menus. Think of it as the thrill of anticipation.

Talia’s moment of virtual head-shaking comes in response to a CNBC video featuring Annette Alvarez-Peters, Costco’s head wine buyer, who responds to an interviewer’s query about wine perhaps being more special thant toilet paper or tin foil with: “I don’t think so”.  Alverez-Peter’s conclusion is, “People can look at it that way. But at the end of the day, it’s a beverage.” I suspect that more than a few other lovers of the grape were equally offended upon learning of this view of wine held by the wine buyer at Costco.

Here is a woman responsible for the selection from which vast numbers of Americans will choose their wine. Costco is the leading retailer of wine in America. And she doesn’t think wine is that special…or at least not much more special than toilet paper.

Now, I’m not much of a connoisseur of toilet paper, but, like with wine, I can tell the difference between ordinary toilet paper and superb toilet paper. And I suspect that Ms. Alvarez-Peters is no different than me.

So all this begs a somewhat important question: Does one need to hold a feeling of reverence for wine in order to successfully choose a selection for the buying public? Given what we know about the success of the Costco wine program and about Ms. Alvarez-Peter’s disposition, the answer is certainly “no”.

Though it’s fairly clear from the CNBC video that despite her view of wine being not any more special than toilet paper or tin foil, Ms. Alvarez-Peters does know a little something about wine. But more importantly, she knows a good deal about what her customer base wants from the wine selection in her hundreds of Costco stores around the country and that this knowledge is far more important than possessing a reverence for wine.

So, all this begs an important question: What are the paramount requirements for a professional wine buyer? I think we can break them down to this:

1. Knowledge of your customers’ desires
2. Knowledge of the product
3. Knowledge of buying and market trends

I honestly don’t think that if there is a 4th on that list, that it is likely to be a reverence for wine or the view that wine is any more special than most other consumer products. No matter where I shop for my wine, I don’t need the person putting the wine on the shelf to have any special love for wine. What I need is for them to put the wines on the shelves that I want and understand why I want them. Beyond that, they need to be able to answer my questions and understand why I ask them. I won’t be be clasping my hand in theirs, bowing my head with them, and praising the magnificence of the bottles.

May 16, 2012 – Yesterday, two notable things happened in MMA.

1.) Chan Sung Jung invoked the wrath of the zombie apocalypse to choke out Dustin Poirier and earn himself an apparent title shot against Jose Aldo. (Or Erik Koch, if you’re into that kind of thing.)

2.) Braulio Estima finally said enough is enough and responded to Cesar Gracie’s statement with his own figurative middle finger, declaring that, when it comes down to it, both he and Nick Diaz are professionals, and to absolve Diaz of the blame “for whatever reason” is inexcusable.

Now, whether or not one of those things matters more to you than the other probably depends on where you fall in the 209 spectrum. But regardless, both of their notability is self-explanatory. So since this is my column and I can jump around wherever I’d like, I’ll briefly start with topic No. 2, because it’s pretty cut and dry.

Honestly, good for Estima. Each of his three main points are valid and it’s clear he’s sick of having his name dragged through the mud. At this point the whole situation is nothing but a bunch of he said/she said gossip, so now that we’ve heard from both sides, maybe we can put it to bed. (Unlikely, I know, but one can always hope.)

Now back to topic No. 1. Was that a fight or what?! Many things can be said about “The Korean Zombie,” but MMA Law officially dictates that the man can never be called boring.

I’ll be frank, I thought the Hominick flash KO was a fluke and completely expected Poirier to roll last night. But wow. I’ll gladly admit I was wrong. The growth Zombie has shown since getting separated from consciousness by George Roop is remarkable. That sequence in the second round when he effortlessly transitioned from armbar-to-triangle-to-armbar-to-triangle was amazing theater. I really can’t say enough about it.

If you asked me whether the Zombie even stood a fighting chance against Aldo yesterday morning, I probably would have chuckled and answered with some snarky remark. But if you asked me that same question today, I’d definitely have to give it a second thought. And really, maybe that’s the biggest accolade of all.

5 MUST-READ STORIES

UFC on FUEL 3. Chan Sung Jung capped the night by invoking the zombie apocalypse, but there still was plenty to see after the lights dimmed in Fairfax. Catch up on all the post-fight action with complete results, fight night bonuses, reaction from the pros, post-fight press conference video, and video highlights of Korean Zombie vs. Dustin Poirier and Donald Cerrone vs. Jeremy Stephens.

Braulio Estima responds. A frustrated Braulio Estima issued a direct response to Cesar Gracie’s recent statement, refuting a series of Gracie’s arguments regarding the Nick Diaz/World Jiu-Jitsu Expo situation.

Dana White to have surgery. UFC President Dana White revealed his absence from last night’s fights was the result of a recent diagnosis of Meniere’s disease. White expects to have surgery today in Los Angeles, CA.

Chael Sonnen’s secret therapy. During a recent appearance on “The Joe Rogan Experience,” UFC middleweight contender Chael Sonnen divulged how secret hypno-therapy sessions helped transform him into the world-class fighter he is today.

Top MMA Wikipedia edits. There’s a reason you’re never supposed to cite Wikipedia as an official source. And if you don’t believe us, these 20 ridiculous MMA-related Wikipedia edits might help change your mind.

MEDIA STEW

We know, we know. We already linked to these highlights up there. But seriously, for all the lazies out there who didn’t click the link, you really need to check out last night’s Zombie vs. Poirier brawl.

After bravely weathering the storm for four rounds, it’s heart-breaking to see Dustin Poirier fight back tears following his devastating submission loss.

So Ronda Rousey’s mom is a pretty dangerous woman. But neither you nor Bas Rutten could have predicted how dangerous she really is. (Props to @pegson for the find.)

If you’ve the got time, check out Chael Sonnen dropping his schtick and discussing everything from steroids and The Ultimate Fighter, to hypno-therapy and Sasquatch with Joe Rogan like a normal, intelligent human being. We’re guaranteeing it’ll change your perception of him.

FANPOST OF THE DAY

Today’s Fanpost of the Day is a look back at a classic by Rainer Lee, which suddenly seems quite relevant: Savages of the Year: Leonard Garcia and Chan Sung Jung

What makes a great fight? A Fight of the Night? Of the Year? We’d ask for something exemplary, a fight that we can hang our banner on (“MMA” it reads). A fight that shows off the best that mixed martial arts has to offer: studied kickboxing, cannonball wrestling, feverish clinch work, python submission attempts, unfailing will, fearlessness. And a violence tactical, and a brutality sporting. Those last bits are important for us. As fans of a developing, occasionally maligned sport, we worry about its perception, and eagerly dismiss whatever might impede MMA’s growth and acceptance. We want to impress, and dub mixed martial artists like Georges St. Pierre and Lyoto Machida and B.J. Penn our cultural champions. These are sportsmen, technicians, and artists who promise to erase MMA’s reputation for thuggish, talentless cruelty. These are men who bring a form to the otherwise chaotic struggle between two barehanded men. And then there’s Leonard Garcia and Chan Sung Jung.
