LOGAN SQUARE– Congress Pizzeria, 2033 N. Milwaukee Ave., failed a Nov. 4 health inspection, as the city found 18 violations. The restaurant continues to be open, despite inspectors finding cockroaches on the premises. [DNAinfo]

WICKER PARK– Be on the look out for a group of thieves, which the owner of Craft Pizza, 1252 N. Damen Ave., has dubbed the "Wicker Park Stroller Bandits." A restaurant security camera on Saturday captured a woman, who entered with a baby in a stroller swiping $10 from the tip jar while a cashier was distracted. An outdoor camera then recorded another boy with the group scaling a fence and walking away with a $650 bicycle that belonged to a cook. The owner is offering an reward to get the bike back.

WEST LOOP– Tete Charcuterie launched an online shop Thursday selling various encased meats, including hot dogs, brats and boudin. They're also working with Bears running back Matt Forte, with proceeds from select items benefitting Forte's charitable foundation. [EaterWire]
