The king of the kitchen is coming to Chicagoland in the spring. Gordon Ramsay announced that his “Ramsay’s Kitchen” will be landing in Naperville in the coming months, joining Las Vegas and Boston as the three cities with this restaurant.
“Ramsay’s Kitchen” in Naperville is expected to open this spring. It will be at 39 West Jefferson Street in the former Ted’s Montana Grill and Oswald Pharmacy space.
The greatest sport on four wheels unveiled some new rules for the 2023 season this week. Starting in the new season, drivers will be required to wear underwear and socks, among other things.
It should be noted, a fire-resistant head sock/helmet skirt, underwear and socks. Specific SFI or FIA-rated gear will be required, falling in-line with other series. It remains unknown at this time how this will be checked.

We don’t remember how we got into this dark corner of the Internet, all we know is that we ended up there and now we need your help deciding if this is cool or creepy. Shawn Redner of Wisconsin has dedicated his home to his homies, more specifically a collection of feline-related “memorabilia”.
Cool or creepy? This conversation lives on Facebook!
No video has ever made me want to plug in my PS2 and eat an entire pizza more than this one does. Over the weekend, Tony Hawk joined legendary ska-band at a show in California to play a song that will be forever associated with the ‘Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater’ series.
Hawk can do a kickflip and he can sing in a band. As far as I’m concerned, he’s the coolest person to ever live.

A man in Ohio has been locked up for the 70th time. According to an Ohio police department, Walmart reported a shoplifter who pushed a shopping cart full of various packaged meat and a suitcase out of the store without paying. The man then noted that he sold the meat to restaurants at half-price.
Any meat that couldn’t fit in the suitcase was moved to the dumpster outside. The man had several warrants out for his arrest, including two with the department that arrested him. He was arrested and booked for theft.
I hope Justin isn’t planning on running for office in Kenosha anytime soon, because he would have to go without TikTok to do so. On Thursday, our neighbors announced that they would be banning TikTok from government devices. Governor Tony Evers ordered the ban after he said he consulted with the FBI and emergency management officials. He noted potential risks to privacy, safety and security. Evers’ order applies to most state agencies, with some exceptions like criminal investigators who may be using the app to track certain people.
Wisconsin joins nearly half of the states in the country in adding this ban.
In preparation for the 25th anniversary reissue of their album Nimrod, Green Day dug into the archives and found a previously unreleased recording of the Elvis Costello classic, ‘Alison’.
The band demoed this song during the Nimrod recording sessions.
Prior to this, the trio released a never-heard-before demo of an unreleased song, “You Irritate Me“. The full anniversary edition of the album will be released on January 27 as a digital release, a 5xLP release, and a 3xCD release.
UFC president Dana White spoke to a crowd of media before the upcoming UFC Fight Night in Las Vegas, Nevada this weekend. White is under fire for being caught slapping his wife in on New Year’s Eve in Cabo, Mexico, ironically weeks before the premier of his new Slap-Fighting League show on TBS.
White noted at the press conference that there was no excuse for his action and that it’s something he would have to “deal with” for the rest of his life. He said, “One thing I do want to clarify … is the people that are defending me. There’s never an excuse. I’m sure you guys have read some of the same stuff that I’ve seen. There’s no defense for this. People should not be defending me, no matter what. All the criticism that I’ve received this week, and will receive in the future, is 100-percent warranted.”
In terms of a possible punishment, he decided he would come up with one on his own. “What should the repercussions be? You tell me. I take 30 days off?” White asked. “How does that hurt me? Me leaving hurts the company. Hurts my employees. Hurts the fighters. Doesn’t hurt me. I could have left in 2016. Do I need to reflect? No, I don’t need to reflect. The next morning when I woke up … I own this. I’m telling you that I’m wrong.”
While I cannot speak for the rest of Q101, I personally find it fascinating that White gets to decide that he can skirt any sort of penalty, especially when he has been outspoken about people even joking about domestic violence in the past.
Hopefully this multi-millionaire can recover from a temporality bruised ego.
Earlier this week, Lori Lightfoot’s campaign emailed an undisclosed amount of email addresses tied to Chicago Public Schools teachers in an effort to get student volunteers for her reelection campaign.
Lightfoot promoted an externship program while encouraging students to support their parents to vote for Lightfoot in the upcoming mayoral election.
The mayor responded on Thursday saying that she was “unaware” of these efforts until they had already been sent out. She said reaching out to CPS teachers was wrong specifically because she holds the office of mayor, and the campaign staff member now understands why the effort was incorrect.
Lightfoot’s biggest detractors, from the Chicago Teachers Union to her opposition in the mayoral race, have all condemned her actions.
Paramore have shared another song from their upcoming album, This Is Why.
“C’est Comme Ça,” translates to “It’s Like That.” Listen to it here:
If you are like Justin and starring down the barrel of hitting a new decade in your life, you might be interested in some natural botox remedies. Justin, who consumes roughly 35 bananas a week, has found a use for the peel after seeing this TikTok.
If you leave the remnants of the peel on their faces for 15 to 20 minutes before rinsing with cold water then moisturize, you (allegedly) will start to look younger.
Others have taken urine baths, fecal facials, “#3” scrubs, and more. A full list of unproven youth remedies can be found here.
Arguably the greatest documentary of all-time, Titanic, will return to theaters next month as the film celebrates its 25th anniversary. Crew Members may remember the special place that this movie has in Justin’s heart, as not only was his great-grandma on the Titanic, but this was also the first time that he saw boobs.
Paramount Pictures will release it in 4K and 3D for a limited time beginning on February 10.
Rebecca George of Volumes Bookstore in Wicker Park has become Twitter’s main character for the day. She took to the app after a customer, who spent $800 on books in December, returned them after decided to redecorate after the holiday season.
George and the bookstore were flooded with support yesterday after the tweet was posted. Still, it raised the question, is the customer justified? The conversation lives on Facebook!
