The Fatchelor: “More to Love” review, part I and II
There’s a reason why the majority of the population doesn’t watch television during the summer.
This year, Fox unveiled a gem in More to Love, which is essentially a version of The Bachelor for fat people. The featured eligible bachelor, Luke, weighs 330 pounds. Combined, the 20 contestants weigh in at a total of over two tons. The purpose of the reality program is to showcase a fat person’s efforts in finding his perfect BBW.

WindyCitizen meet-up this Thursday: beers and music by the Clout Meisters
This Thursday night, shut off the computer and join your fellow WindyCitizen members, contributors, readers, followers and friends out at Saluki Bar in Old Town for some good, old-fashioned mixing and mingling. Plus, don’t miss a special acoustic performance from The Clout Meisters, a Chicago band led by city workers whose protest song, “Chicago Clout,” cracked the WC’s front page last week and received coverage from just about every local media outlet. Patrick McDonough, longtime local whistle-blower and proprietor of ChicagoClout.com, will be there, too. They’re bringing the guitars. You bring your precious bad self. We’ll have fun together.

What was he thinking?!
I understand what Prez O was trying to convey with the “King of Beers” message, but he missed out on a grand opportunity to showcase some of our finest beers when he sits down for what’s being called the Beer Summit.
Before he settled on such ho-hum suds as Bud Light, he should’ve first taken a peek at this recent New York Times travel story on Chicago’s new wave of microbrews that includes local stars Goose Island and Piece.

Northalsted Market Days
Proudly presented by Metromix.com.
Jody Watley and En Vogue perform at the 28th annual Lakeview event’s new VIP stage, which costs a whopping $30-$50 per day (the two-tier pricing reflects
a) proximity to the stage and
b) whether you get one or two drinks as part of the package).
The fest, billed as the Midwest’s largest outdoor two-day event also features more than 350 vendors selling arts and crafts, food and drinks and three non-VIP stages of live music.

An Ultimate Insider tells us The Drunken Goat—whose official location has been under a cloak of secrecy for four long months—is going into a former manufacturing building at 809-813 W. Randolph St. in the West Loop.
This is the first time a restaurant’s gone into the heavy timber venue that’s now undergoing a massive makeover to turn it into the glammed-out space everyone’s expecting from the team behind it.
