—Following last week's news of an Aloha Poke expansion in Lakeview, the poke trend will gain more traction in Chicago on Monday.

—A West Side hot dog stand was robbed at gunpoint five times in a less than three-week span, DNAinfo reports. Commodore Roberts was arrested over Memorial Day weekend and faces five felonies in the holdups of Maxwell Street Cicero at 234 S.
