Mom's Old Recipes Opens
You and Charlie Trotter may be on a first-name basis, but there's just no competing with mom's home
cooking...especially if she happens to have been a Mexican restaurateur who passed along recipes for
enchiladas mole, shrimp guajillo and roasted-pineapple-and-white-pepper mojitos. Mom did love her rum so.

- Now open, Mom's Old Recipes, 5760 N Milwaukee Ave (at Ardmore), 773-467-1009
ZEP RIGHT UP
Italian Doughnuts at Chicago French Market
International doughnut season has officially begun, now that Zullo's, the purveyor of scrumptious
cinnamon-and-sugar-dusted apple-cider zeppole (think: Italian Munchkins), has opened a stall at the Chicago
French Market, meaning you don't have to go to the Green City Market to find them. Let the espresso dunking
begin.

ATTENTION DETENTION
The Breakfast Club Musical
The anguish, the angst, the utter lack of sleeves on Emilio Estevez: the silver screen just couldn't contain
it all, so The Breakfast Club finally gets the medium it deserves—by which we mean the staged
musical—to fully express its deep-rooted North Shore teen heartbreak. This should encourage you to
finally finish that Sixteen Candles operetta you've been composing.

- Thursdays through Apr 29, 8pm, $7-15, Studio Be Theatre, 3110 N Sheffield, 773-732-5450, tickets here
MAD HATTERS
Alice in Wonderland Fashions at Enclave
After wrapping your head around the new Johnny Depp/Tim Burton version of Alice in Wonderland,
you're going to need a complimentary cocktail...and leggy models...and a giant maze to get lost in. So it
sounds like Enclave is volunteering to be your Friday night rabbit hole.
MUCH TOO MUSH
Chiditarod Urban Iditarod
You're always up for a good Saturday afternoon spectacle, so be on hand as 100 five-person teams pull garish
shopping carts through the city on this wild scavenger hunt/race/food drive. Winners receive cash, wacky
prizes and awards for things like best mustache wax and being "Dead F*ing Last." Take note, IOC.
