Larry David Chows Down at RPM Steak and More Intel

— Larry David embraced his inner carnivore in Chicago as he prepares for the return of “Curb Your Enthusiasm.” The comedian and “Seinfeld” co-creator dined and entertained the room at RPM Steak on Friday night, according to a rep as well as the New York Post. David, actor Greg Kinnear, and six others took down “several” salads, “lots of” seafood appetizers, multiple NY strip steaks, Ohmi Japanese wagyu, ribeye, cod, halibut, corn, the “Millionaire's Potato,” and many desserts. David is the latest in a long line of celebrities to pick Lettuce Entertain You’s glitzy River North steakhouse while in Chicago.

— Bottled Blonde has a new attorney and new life, as city officials have pushed back the trial to revoke the River North bar’s alcohol license to Oct. 24. Its new attorney Nicholas Ftikas asked for more time so he could get caught up with the proceedings. Earlier in the month, Bottled Blonde fired their own attorney after he was jailed on a variety of drug charges in Indiana. Hearing officer Robert Nolan, who will determine if the license gets revoked, said state law mandated him to give Ftikas additional time under the unusual circumstances bred by the arrest. He also stressed that city attorneys did everything that he required. If anyone forgot, neighbors are fed up with Bottled Blonde, lodging noise, traffic, and vomit complaints. There will be a short status hearing on Oct. 17 followed by the trial on Oct. 24. Another reason for the delay? The city’s attorney is going on vacation.
