Let’s get this out of the way: We ate insanely good food tonight. Thanks to Mitchell Abou Jamra for his hospitality and menu selections from Evette’s in Lincoln Park (352 W. Armitage). Mitchell jumped in the car to talk about Evette’s and more-recently-opened All Too Well next door.

Also in this episode: The returning Dan Dougherty! The cartoonist/graphic novelist (Beardo, Touching Evil) released his second album, “Fun Times Ahead” on the day we recorded this. The new album represents another leap forward for Dan as a songwriter, and proceeds from the album (through 7/4/22) go to help saxophonist/band member Ellis Wright’s medical bills incurred from his cancer treatment. Listen to great music and support one of our community’s beloved musicians!

Heading to Lincoln Park? Get the tacos at Evette’s. Trust me.
