The new issue of Time Out Chicago has a very recognizable face on its cover: Alpana Singh. But this isn't about her as the long-running host of Check, Please! but rather her lead up to opening the forthcoming Boarding House. TOC dining editor David Tamarkin chats with Singh in a series of articles where he goes with her to dinner at MingHin, hangs out at their test kitchen and even compares himself to her husband (if you ever wondered what he looked like). Singh cries when talking about her old bosses at Lettuce Entertain You ensuring she's ready to open her own place. She laughs when a wine distributor quotes her an insane price for Champagne. Watch her do both when Boarding House opens later this month. [TOC]
