Binny's Blackie's and Burning Down the House #24

Ok so I learned a lesson this week. Don't try to roast a chicken near a very sensitive smoke detector while doing a podcast.

Any way Pubcast #24 Is up and running. We visit Binny's in the South Loop. Its a great place to go and well worth the ride in to check it out.
They have a tasting bar!!!

The place is awesome!

Anyway!
