Izard Beats Pandel; Playboy Club Returns to Chicago; More!

This week's top dish from Eater Chicago, Curbed's restaurant, bar, and nightlife blog...

LINCOLN PARK—In the second Quick Fire Competition at Perennial Virant, Stephanie Izard unseated reigning champ Chris Pandel.

GOLD COAST—In a move that seems to coincide (or feed off?) the new NBC show, The Playboy Club, the one-time infamous nightclub is set to make a return to Chicago—and it may take over the current Il Mulino space.

OLD TOWN—Just two months after opening its first Chicago location, Pinkberry announced it will open a second spot on Sept. 9, with a freebie giveaway party the day before.

EVERYWHEREJewel-Osco kicked off its "Give a Little, Feed a Lot" Campaign, encouraging Chicago-area residents to donate food and money to any Jewel store in September to help hungry people in the area.
