AZUCAR

It was sure hot the night we dined at Azucar, a tapas bar in Chicago's Logan Square neighborhood. And several of the young ladies seated in a window table were pretty and hot, too, much like the senioritas of "Sabado Gigante" -- the Spanish-language program that seldom requires translation.

And speaking of Spanish, much to my disappointment, I learn that patatas bravas has nothing to do with one of my favorite movies, "Rio Bravo."

Overall, we really liked the food, as you'll discover in this podcast that tackles a wide range of other topics as we roll down the windows in the Mobile Recording Studio and treat you to a B-grade soundseeing tour of Chicago, the Northwest Side, Niles and other similar hotspots.

Subjects on our plate this time include miniskirts, pantyhose, why guys are wearing clothes that are looser than ever at a time when gals are wearing fashions tighter than ever, why it's called "Wilbur Wright College" and not "Orville and Wilbur Wright College" (did Orville get caught giving someone a prop job?), as well as numerous other diversions on the way to dessert.
