WICKER PARK–You can only get so far with a stroller, as Chicago police have made two arrests in connection to the "Stroller Bandits" heist in which a group stole a $650 bicycle and $10 from the tip jar at Craft Pizza, 1252 N. Damen Ave. Security cameras recorded the Nov. 8 incident, and the bicycle was recovered days later. [Tribune]

LAKEVIEW–The two Chicago-area Burger Boss restaurants will feature a special burger inspired by The Food Network's Jeff Mauro to raise money for charity. The Mauro Melt, consisting of two Angus beef patties, grilled onions, fried cherry peppers, American cheese and Boss Sauce, all in between a pumpernickel bun, will only be available for the month of December. A portion of sales will benefit Hephzibah Children's Association, an Oak Park-based not for profit which helps neglected and abused children and their families. [EaterWire]
