You know, I saw something that looked just as tasty on a Wrigleyville sidewalk last weekend. Think I'll save my money and just scoop it up.

Guest's work bowl could easily accommodate all those ingredients. Chicagoist needs to run down to the restaurant supply store and buy the largest bowl they can find. Chicagoist will find it's money well spent.

you rip a food post about A/C ...?? i've lived in the midwest all my life (WI --17, IL -- 16) and i have had air conditioning for a total of 1.5 years, i think. i always laugh in silent scorn when people cry about the heat -- 1. because i hate the winter so much i resolved one year never to complain about any heat again and 2. because i have never had A/C since i lived in the city (10 years). so, i always think that's amusing. much like getting a flu shot when you're young and healthy, A/C is pretty overused.

Seriously, I'm glad I'm not the only one grossed out by that photo. Get on the ball Chicagoist and get rid of that awful picture!

The cheese is entirely optional and the lack of it won't really hurt the main flavors of the gaz.

Do you think the recipe needs Gorgonzola blue cheese? Is it critical? Sounds good, but I want to do a vegan version.

Fo reals. That looks like sushi with some cilantro on top, not gazpacho. I have three words: INCREASE RED TINT. God, I love iphoto.

Jeez- take a look at a few food porn sites and take some lessons on how to take decent food pics. Ugh.

Christ! Who are you angry people? Also, #5, there are all kinds of environmental benefits to passing on the AC. The energy needed to power a laptop, for instance, doesn't really compare to the six window units you have cooling down your sad, lonely apartment. Boo-yeah.

Seriously, you blog but don't have air conditioning? I would suggest a window unit but Chicagoist probably lives in a basement apartment with no windows just to avoid becoming a yuppie.

Guest is not like "Chicagoist" because Guest does not speak in an annoying third person and also has air-conditioning.

Funny that you waited until it was back in the 60s at 1pm to post something about the heat. LOL.

It looks like you are garnishing a cow's tongue, or your own for that matter. I wouldn't even attempt to think about cooking up that creepy, slimy, lizard inards you have pictured.

Oh... that picture! It looks like vomit, an up-close picture of a dirty tongue, or the skin of some exotic ocean creature. It's not at all appetizing, even with the garnish. I think I'm gonna be sick, no offense.
