A minor culinary adventure for your enjoyment today.

There's a new restaurant in campustown at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, in a building that sees a lot of restaurants come and go. Before this it was a sushi restaurant, before that it was...umm...this place where...there was some stuff...



I've been trying to find a great burger in this town since Mykonos--home of 50 burgers and some vaguely Greek food--went out of business. It was a great place, divey but delicious, with the best waiter / manager in history. Oh, did I ever tell you about the time I was a waiter / manager for a divey Greeky-burger joint? Tales for another time, I suppose...

As usual, I'd like to express that I do not work for or with, nor am I being compensated for this by Big Mouth's.

Feeling like you're in the mood to donate even the tiniest bit of money to a good cause?

violet_hemlock is doing a project to get shirts to needy children in Brazil. Trust me, I know the fellow and it's completely legit.

Here's the first post about the project as a whole. DEFINITELY worth reading the entire thing.

Here's an image of one of 'em.


------------------------

"This project will last for two weeks, starting today (EDIT: 1/09/08).
After the two weeks all donations will stop and the project will be as large as our combined forces...

Each shirt will come with a postcard attached, so anyone who donates and wants to get a postcard from Brazil...lemme know...and I will be posting images of the shirts in production later this week..."

-----------------------

Reading violet_hemlock's journal entries over the past several weeks will give you a great insight into the whole process.

Here's where you can give money, any amount you can. Even a dollar helps.

Show your love again, my monkeys, just like you did with a little boy named Joshua and his dinosaur drawings.
