ChicagoScope cohort
Leah Zeldes has a Palm PDA packed with thousands of entries relating to food, restaurants and entertainment -- and she combined that expansive database with a lot of good, old-fashioned legwork to whip up a comprehensive look at the many ethnic grocers in the suburb of
Niles. Check out her story in this week's
Chicago Sun-Times food section. (If that link is down, try the
PDF version.)
Speaking of independent food stores, I always enjoyed checking in on
F---CorporateGroceries. The site's no longer being updated, but is still a fun read.
Plus, read this bonus review of Leah's visit to Des Plaines'
Falafel Inn.
