Check, Please! Expands

Attention, Chicagoist readers who live in Florida: Check, Please! is launching in the Sunshine State next week. (There's already a Bay Area version, too. And it's exactly like the Chicago version, clumsy puns and all.) And locally, the show's producers say they're looking to use the fancy schmancy website to expand to other cities.

The site is mostly segments from the show, but newer pieces appear to be web-only recommendations--and they don't have Alpana's intros or the back-and-forth between the guests. Gah! That's the best part!
