Long Lines, Cold Hands, Hot Popcorn

Monica Eng vented about the long lines at Garrett Popcorn's Randolph Street location in the Stew today, and also expressed gratitude that they've opened a temporary "Holiday Express" location on Boul Mich (625 N. Michigan) for pre-packaged popcorn only. So those of you wanting to buy Garrett for gifts now know where to go so the rest of us don't have to wait in line waiting for you to decide on a tin.

And this is the best time of year to nosh on some Garrett caramel corn, freshly popped and drizzled, walking around the Loop with steam rising off the corn in the winter air. That is Christmas in Chicago, people. May have to make a detour on the way home this evening for some cheddar popcorn.
