Spotted Cow at Inovasi; Storefront Co. Brunch; More

LAKE BLUFF—In a rare south-of-the-border move, Wisconsin brew Spotted Cow will be on tap at Inovasi starting this evening. And because they're more about wanting to share the tasty beer than make money off it, pints are only $3. Get it while you can. [EaterWire]

BUCKTOWN—After settling into dinner service, Storefront Company (1941 W. North) will kick off weekend brunch April 7 with lemon & ricotta soufflé pancakes, citrus-brioche french toast, SF deviled eggs, blue crab omelette, beef pastrami hash & eggs and more including a variety of bloodies.

ANDERSONVILLE—Speaking of brunch, Ombra has started brunch service as well and kicks things off at 11 a.m. Saturday and Sunday. Think Italian small plates ... for brunch. [EaterWire]

JOLIET—Southern cooking maven (and diabetes drug pitchwoman) Paula Deen was on hand Thursday at Harrah's Joliet to cut the ribbon at her new Paula Deen's Kitchen with, of course, plenty of fried food. [Grub Street]
