New Upscale Food And Wine Shop In Rogers Park

A new upscale food and wine shop called "Taste" opened this morning in Rogers Park. It's in the commercial district of Jarvis Avenue that goes by the name of "Jarvis Square". They have a selection of fine wines and various food items. My enemies are probably going to say that they're a quality business and a valuable addition to the neighborhood. I am not. I'm a Rogers Park anger blogger and my job is to say as many derogatory things as I can manage about the neighborhood. Anything said about Rogers Park that's not overwhelmingly negative might be construed as support for our worthless alderman, Joe NoMooreFoieGras and I wouldn't want that. I've been obsessing about Joey for years and I'm not about to stop now. He's the center of my life. So, I couldn't find anything bad about this new business but trust me, I will. In the mean time you can see them for yourself. They're located next door to Gruppo d'Amici at 1506 West Jarvis Avenue.

Blognotes: I want to remind everyone who says that I don't do anything for the neighborhood that it was me who complained about Cafe Suron when they opened, fought against the opening of the Morseland and am ready to fight against the new Morse Theater. Everyone else was ready to roll over and support these quality local businesses. If that's not contributing to the community I don't know what is.

Update: My former archenemy and new best friend, Tomblogger Womannis, returned from Taste even more upset than I am. He noticed that the "a" in the word "Taste" is done up to look like an Eiffel Tower. You all know how Republicans like Tomblogger have felt about the French ever since they had the audacity to claim that Iraq really had no weapons of mass destruction. Tomblogger went in saw that not only do they carry lots of wines from the land of Cheese Eating Surrender Monkeys but they have wine made by those socialists in Argentina. He's really pissed. I'm off to help him calm down. We're going to buy some Freedom Wine from Soo Liquors and sit in front of the Jarvis El stop and drink it.

Fool...at least put it in a bag from Taste or Eastgard is likely to come by and snatch it away. Better yet, go into the bag and gift store and get one of those colognes first, something with a French name, not Joop or anything like that, it doesn't matter if its a knock off, well, he probably is against knock offs too, probably has a good nose, they don't sniff them at people for no reason. Alright, scratch that. Stop at the Heartland and wash up with some of that hippie soap and then you're going to have to find some brand new looking work boots, gee that's alot of trouble...look, just don't let Eastgard see you.

Don't worry Paradise. We know what "Eastie" is up to. Womannis has been lurking around Eastgard's office keeping tabs on him and taking pictures of his office window. I'm lucky to have a friend like Womannis who has nothing better to do all day than keep tabs on my archenemy.

How did we miss this one? Did Joey forget to have a public meeting? How did they get a liquor license? Where was the community? If I had known there was liquor involved, I would have plastered the neighborhood with signs against it. I don't care if it's upscale or not.

I've been through too many 12 step programs not to know the evils of alcohol. Why just this morning I was saying at AA, pretty soon, we're going to have people pissing all over the Jarvis el-stop because of this shady operation.

Yeah, they want it to look suspiciously Frenchy, but I know sooner or later its going to be run by a bunch of Indian or Arab towel heads. And once that happens its out with the upscale food and wine and in with the Cheetos, twinkies and half pints.

I'm looking for Shrill Morton. We have a date to set up a stake out outside this place. It wouldn't surprise me at all if that pate there selling looks suspiciously like goose liver.
