You'll get the answer to that question, plus get your fill of meatballs all day at the second-annual Do You Have the Meatballs? event at the original Rosebud in Little Italy.

The festival is free and in addition to live music and tastings of Rosebud's signature Mama's Meatballs, you'll get to watch the judging of some of the city's top meatballs made by amateurs.

Looks like Doughnut Vault is getting some competition as Lincoln Park's Cookie Bar jumps into the doughnut-making biz.

And what's awesome about this grand little operation—that'll be known as Dirty Betty's—is that they'll be making 10 daily flavors of artisan doughnuts. The "pop up" store is set to open Wednesday, and hours will be 7-10am Monday-Friday and 10am-10pm Saturdays.

Here's your chance to schmooze with the one and only Tom Colicchio—head judge of Bravo's Top Chef reality show.

He's set to host the National Restaurant Association's first-ever Restaurants Rock party, happening 9pm-midnight May 22 at LaSalle Power Co.

We're especially excited about this event because the Star of the Bar finale takes place, when some of the country's top bartenders square off against one another with their signature cocktails.

Will Aisha Tyler Get Her Wish?!

Stayed at home Thursday morning to catch hottie actress/comedian Aisha Tyler on WCIU-TV's You & Me This Morning (I will be on the set live Friday at 7am to talk about Mayor Daley's favorite Chicago restos!).

She was funny as always, but my ears particularly perked up when she was asked by hosts Jeanne Sparrow and Melissa Forman about her favorite Chicago restaurants.

Another Server Outs A 'Bad Tipper'

Remember the infamous "two cents" tipper from earlier this year?!

Well, now he's got some competition. A server at Wrigleyville's Red Ivy tweeted this photo Wednesday from yet another cheap ass tipping her $0.99 on a $12 bill.

Is this some sort of trend or something?
