FALL’S FRESHEST COATS
Through a proprietary process, ABSOLUT® CITRON is flavored by
extracting hints of natural lemon through essential oils from the fruit
and skin. A refreshing lemon taste is dominant, but other natural
flavors (lime, mandarin orange and grapefruit) are added, giving it
a fuller, more complex citrus essence.

letter
from the publisher
My staff loves Halloween.
They are crazy obsessed
with it. Costume ideas
were being discussed in
late July. I’m still sulking
that summer is over. I stare
longingly out my window
Ted and Jeff Garland
of “Curb Your Enthusiasm”
wishing I could be at the
beach. However, this issue got me looking forward to fall.
In Dining Scene, find out where to enjoy fall vegetables
at the peak of the season. Drink Scene gives the scoop
on all of the super sweet libations the local mixoligists are
brewing up to celebrate Halloween. Nightlife Scene is the
quintessential guide to Halloween parties, including our
own “Deadman’s Ball,” on Saturday, October 28
at Crobar. I am eagerly anticipating the great costumes
everyone comes up with this year. I never knew the ideas
that could come out of Victoria’s Secret until we started
hosting this annual event. With perfect timing for this all
Halloween issue check out Scene Around Town on page
176, with Criss Angel. They definitely don’t call his show
“Mindfreak” for nothing. To our writer’s disbelief, he broke
forks completely in half using only his mind! I was just glad
I didn’t end up in his levitation act or get a bill from the
Four Seasons for the flatware.
Now on to plans for New Years Eve! Next month’s issue
will feature all the details for the Chicago Scene party at
the gold coast’s leading lady The Drake Hotel.
Enjoy the issue,

name from the Mexican definition of a central town square where social and business
transactions take place. Without a doubt, this is a great location for taking a client or a
date on a journey of the best of Mexico’s culinary delights.

wanted to get into the business. Ironically, he built his
own place Rio D’Sudamerica (2010 W. Armitage,
773.292.9010) just a block away. Raising the bar and
catering to the trendy crowd, Dino created a sexy and
warm candle-lit dining room with sleek contemporary
furniture with a menu that is ¾ Peruvian and ¼ of the
best of Brazil and Argentina. Perez’s goal is to introduce
the cuisine to a new audience. Peruvian cuisine differs
in variety with meats and seafood preparations with

On the “Edge of Elston,” (between Wicker Park and Bucktown) lies a place where family
secrets are out for everyone to enjoy; Solomon’s Kitchen & Gifts (2222 N. Elston,

was getting what they wanted out of life, they looked to the past and more specifically,
to their Grandmother Frieda’s divine cookie recipe. Back in WWII, their grandmother
would send her sumptuous desserts overseas to a young soldier named Aaron Solomon.
They were so good that their future grandfather returned in one piece and married
the chef. Frieda went on to become an exclusive and popular gift bearer with her
delicious recipes. Searching their horizons for their dreams, the Brothers Tennenbaum
gave up their careers and began an internet cookie service in her honor, (with her
recipes, of course!) that took the country by
storm. Eight months ago they realized that their
neighborhood was lacking a gourmet spot to
eat lunch, so sure enough the time came to open
the café. The menu grew past desserts and into
breakfast sandwiches, pastries, and light lunches

At Coco Pazzo (300 W. Hubbard, 312.836.0900) in the West Loop, Chef/Partner
lo r i g e l l e r
Tony Priolo begins his search for the perfect fall vegetables during the previous winter.
Priolo, who spent most of his career in Italy, specially orders vegetable seeds from
coco pazzo L Ribollita
Tuscany each year for his L Ribollita ($6) creation. The twice-cooked hearty bread and
vegetable soup, a signature Italian dish that is thick and flavorful, makes for the perfect
appetizer. Loyal customers have dubbed the item a favorite since it first appeared on
the menu nearly nine years ago. L Ribollita, which takes about 24 hours to complete,
is loaded with fresh veggies, including diced zucchini, yellow squash, red onion, carrot,
bunch celery and black cabbage. The soup also contains cannelini beans, Italian bread
and spices for an authentic taste.
When cooking up fall veggies, less is more for Executive Chef Kristine Subido at Wave
(644 N. Lake Shore, 312.255.4460). Subido, who has served up her share of favorites
at the chic W Hotel restaurant for two years, believes a few veggies go a long way
when it comes to taste. Her Chilled Roasted Beet Salad ($6) is made primarily from

the rest of the dishes. The vegetable,
a winter squash ripest during the fall,
has a taste similar to pumpkin or sweet
potato and is naturally sweet. Caputo
gives the vegetarian ravioli some extra
tang by stuffing it with house-made
ricotta cheese, sage, ground amoretti
cookies and garlic. The entrée, which
he describes as slightly sweet and nutty,
is the perfect combination of ingredients. The flavors are very autumn-like
with the amoretti cookies accenting the
earthiness of the butternut squash and
the ricotta adding richness to the dish.
“That’s why people love it, “he says.
“Everything added together makes for

the perfect autumn taste.”
Who says good things don’t come in
small packages? Though Landmark
(1633 N. Halstead, 312.587.1600) in
Lincoln Park is famous for fire-grilled
entrées such as strip steak and doublecut pork chops, one small side dish
– the Wood Roasted Vegetable
Platter ($6) – is revolutionizing the fall
menu at this late-night spot. Fresh from
organic farmers’ markets in Madison,
landmark café Roasted Vegetable Platter

Wisc., the platter includes pumpkins,

continued
parsnips, potatoes, beets, turnips, rutabaga, onions and artichokes – all root vegetables that maintain their sweetness underground during the winter months. After they
are washed, peeled and chopped, Chef De Cuisine Benjamin Browning tosses the
veggies in olive oil, herbs and various seasonings before roasting them in a wood-fired
oven for an hour. The vegetables are paired with various entrées on the dinner menu
or come as a separate side dish. However, Browning is certain that once customers get
a taste of the dish, there will be plenty of upgrades to entrée sizes.
During the fall months, the contemporary Latin restaurant MAS (1670 W. Division,
773.276.8700) in Wicker Park turns into a haven for veggie lovers, thanks to Chef/
mas legrumbre
Owner John Manion and his famous
dish Legumbre ($18). He created
Legumbre, meaning “vegetable” in
Spanish, nine years ago with the
intention of appealing to vegetarian
diners. He put a lot of energy and
thought into this creation, which is
both tasty and visually appealing.
Legumbre is an acorn squash that’s
roasted and filled with homemade
wild mushroom risotto and finished
with fresh herbs and white truffle
and pumpkin seed oils. Although
Manion keeps this item on his menu
year-round, he recommends trying
it during autumn, when acorn and
butternut squash and chanterelle,
oyster and portabella mushrooms are
at their peak of freshness. scene

Karneval in Köln peaks on Rosenmontag (Rose Monday) with an “organized,” rambunctious parade through the neighborhoods of the city. There are over 100 Karneval clubs
in the city that participate in the parties and events leading up to the six-hour parade
on Monday and the end of Karneval on Ash Wednesday. Since 1823, the Festkomittee
has organized and officiated over the Karneval celebration. There are five original
Karneval clubs in Köln, which are very influential on the parade. All club members
wear colorful costumes, traditionally meant to mock the Prussian army during its early
1800s occupancy of the city.
Each year, club members vie for a coveted role in the festivities: the Festkomittee
appoints a prince, bauer (farmer) and virgin as the royalty of Karneval. Celebrations
and planning kick-off on November 11, at 11:11 am in honor of the 11,000 virgins killed
by the Huns in ancient times. The prince is the head celebrity of Karneval, and reigns
from November 11 until Ash Wednesday. He is “protected” by the Prinzen-Garde
(Prince’s Guard), a club that just celebrated its 100th anniversary.

Karneval officially begins at 11:11 am in the Alter Markt (Old Market) in the center
of the old Roman city. Participants wear costumes during the entire week of festivities
(think Halloween on steroids). Women cut the ties of potential suitors throughout the
day, so leave your Hermes at home. Stroll the bustling streets and stop at one of the
beer kiosks that line the street for some Kölsch, the local fresh brew. Grab lunch at
one of the old breweries in the Alter Markt, such as Sion (Unter Taschenmacher 5-7).
Wear comfortable, sturdy shoes because the ground will soon be littered with broken
glass. Another provision to consider: leave your girlfriend or boyfriend at home; as the
Germans would say, “do not bring wood to the forest.”
Get tickets (about 25€ or $32) in advance from

• Plan to fly to Europe and arrive in Köln the week prior to Ash Wednesday. Major
airlines going from Chicago to Köln are United Airlines via London, Lufthansa via
Dusseldorf or Air France via Paris for $700-$800. (There are no direct flights.)
• Stay at the Excelsior Hotel Ernst (Excelsiorhotelernst.de) or Hotel Dorint (Accorhotels.
com), which are Karneval royalty headquarters during the week of debauchery.

illusion, and people are astounded! The second component to the show is the “behind
the scenes” aspect of where I am in my hotel room talking about the next crazy stunts
I plan to do. The veil of secrecy is thus being lifted from the inception of the stunt to
its fruition. You also get to see a lot of my family and crew, all the people behind the
show. The third component is a picture from my mind’s eye of images that captured or
provoked me, such as f&cked up tableaus, crazy dreams I had, a painting that I saw.
All three are essential to the concept of Mindfreak. Mindfreak also showcases my music,
music I composed and perform with my band.
How do you distinguish or characterize yourself from other magicians?
I guess I’m just crazier, wilder, I don’t know, I just don’t fear provoking people and
pushing their buttons of faith. I do a lot of the stunt work that most stunt people
wouldn’t do. I love making people think twice about what is real, and what is illusion,
and make them redefine and rethink their level of faith. }}

What is your favorite illusion/trick or type of magic? I know you love levitation,
where you can lift yourself off the ground in the middle of say, Times Square!
I have no favorites. They are all my children, so I can’t favor any. I just want to provoke
an emotion out of people, whether it is through hypnosis, mentalism, magic, or music. I
love engaging people to think and to question what they believe. I get off from it!
Is it illusion or is it reality?
Both. I blur the line between fantasy and reality. And people freak out. I love getting
that dialogue going and people discussing what they saw. The most gratifying thing for
me is when I do something that may give hope to people to confront their fears and
question what they believed and empower them. Like what my father did to me.
Criss, among being a magician, you are also a producer and musician with
How long have you practiced magic? Why magic?
I did my first trick at age 6. My aunt bought me a magic kit then. But I really didn’t get
into it till age 7, but by age 10 I was doing it all the time. I knew I wanted to do this ever
since. I loved the ability to have the power to provoke people. It was so exciting for me.
I loved all the aspects of magic like mentalism, psychology, and hypnosis.
Who are your biggest inspirations and influences?
My late father. He was diagnosed with cancer and the doctors told him he had only
three weeks to live. He survived three years! He is my strength, my hero, my inspiration.
He lived every moment of those three years to its fullest. I also love the cubist artist Dali,
the Italian moviemaker Fellini, songwriters John Lennon and McCarthy, Led Zepplin.
They are all inspirations to me.
Obviously street magic and extremely challenging stunts are your forte - your
signature – but how do you feel about stage shows?
I love street magic, because it is live, unrehearsed, unstaged. But I had the longest

your own band where you are the leading vocalist and drummer. I hear your
music is incorporated in Mindfreak.
Well, I have been singing and performing music since age 6. That is what I know most
and what I have been doing the longest. Longer than my magic. My band played in
clubs in NYC. I do vocals, and our first CD came out in 1998. It was very similar to Linkin
Park but five years before Linkin Park. My music displays a spectrum of genres – I don’t
like to pigeon-hole myself.
Would you show me a trick or two?!
Of course, anything for you!
And he did. He takes a fork from a hotel tray puts it approximately a foot away
from him and it moves across the floor in the direction that he chooses without ever
touching it! Then he looks at another fork intensely, and it starts shaking it violently.
Right before my eyes, the top of the fork falls off! Both forks were hot when I touched
them. scene
“Mindfreak Series” airs on A&E every Wednesday at 9 pm (Central)
