Bloomingdale Trotters Should Beware of Wolves, Not Foxes, Along the 606
At 2.7 miles, the Bloomingdale Trail isn't an arduous journey worthy of a Shackleton-like memoir, but there's not much shade from the sun, and folks are allowed to get hungry or thirsty along the elevated path commonly known as the 606.
Sure, the surrounding neighborhoods — Wicker Park, Bucktown, Humboldt Park, and Logan Square — have plenty of food options — but what if one is in a hurry? Enter Wolf & Company, an all-day cafe and market from the owners of Gretel and Little Bad Wolf. It's the first restaurant to have a patio built off the trail.
Taking cues from another market with a furry mascot, Wolf & Company is a boutique grocer full of fancy snacks and pantry items. There's even a butcher's counter for impromptu backyard barbecues.
This is a two-floor affair at 1752 N. Western Avenue, with the second floor leading to the 606. On the upper level, customers will find the caffeine with coffee from Hexe and Big Shoulders, and teas from Rare Tea Cellar and Rishi. Pastries are made on premise,s and they'll also serve a few light breakfast items. The second floor houses a 20-seat bar.
The ground floor is home to the full-service restaurant and market. There's pizza to be had, and ownership describes it as a cross between Neopolitan and New Haven-style. While they'll offer American staples like pepperoni and sausage, the pizza will get a little fancy. Chef Graham Akroyd, the culinary director at the ownership's other restaurants, is behind the menu. That means it shouldn't be a surprise to find a burger available with up to three patties. Gretel and Little Bad Wolf are known for their burgers.
There's also a deli component downstairs, which will also serve grab-and-go options.
Check out the photos below.
Wolf & Company , 1752 N. Western Avenue, coffee shop open daily from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. for breakfast and lunch; market open 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.; restaurant and bar open daily from 11 a.m. to midnight on Sunday through Thursday; 11 a.m. to 1 a.m. on Friday and Saturday.

Teen nicknamed ‘Big Balls' leaves Trump's cost-cutting team after exposing wasteful spending
A White House official confirmed to Fox News that a teenaged employee with the nickname 'Big Balls' has resigned from his post at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), adding to the recent shakeup within the department. The now-former DOGE employee – whose real name is Edward Coristine – told Fox News Anchor Jesse Watters last month that his nickname originally came from his LinkedIn social media account. 'I use it as my LinkedIn username,' Coristine told Watters, prompting laughter from the host as well as DOGE leader Elon Musk and the rest of his team at the interview. 'Well, people on LinkedIn take themselves super seriously, and they're pretty averse to risk, and I was like, 'Well, I want to be neither of those things.' So, I just, I set it and honestly, I didn't think anybody would notice,' the DOGE employee continued, mocking the career-focused social media platform. A 19-year-old college student and software developer, Coristine was criticized by Democrats and liberal media pundits during DOGE's first few weeks of investigating wasteful and fraudulent spending in the federal government. 3 Teen Edward Coristine, who goes by the nickname Big Balls, resigned from his position at DOGE. Fox News Many were upset about the young, irreverently named government employee being given access to government records to pursue DOGE's work. During his interview with Watters, Coristine said he had been looking through US Treasury Department payment computers and finding a multitude of outgoing payments from the federal government that lacked details about who they were going to and why. 'So, one of our initiatives is to root out fraud and waste, and to do that we started looking at the payment computers. And, as mentioned earlier, there's no accounting of what payments actually go to in the payment computer,' Coristine said. 'You look at a specific line item — $20 million. You're like, 'OK, what is this money going to?' And for the majority of payment systems, it's like, 'Well, we don't really know.'' 3 Elon Musk shakes hands with President Donald Trump at the 2025 NCAA wrestling championship in Philadelphia, Penn. on March 22, 2025. AP He continued, saying the system that distributes taxpayer money 'literally has no checks and no accountability' to the American taxpayer, adding that it is a 'huge vector for fraud, waste, and abuse.' Coristine's resignation comes less than a month after Musk departed from the agency. Musk's departure was followed by the departure of several other staffers and special government employees at DOGE, which now includes Coristine. Musk has been heading DOGE since President Donald Trump took office in January. 3 President Donald Trump speaks to reporters in the Oval Office of the White House on May 30, 2025.

While DOGE was tasked with cutting $2 trillion from the budget, its efforts have led to roughly $180 billion in savings due to asset sales, contract cancellations, fraud payment cuts and other ways to eliminate costs, according to an update on DOGE's website. The savings translate to about $1,118 in savings per taxpayer, the website notes. Fox News Digital's Gabriel Hays contributed to this report.

U.S. offers reward to locate abducted Afghan American in Afghanistan
The United States has offered a $5 million reward for help in locating Mahmood Shah Habibi, an American businessman who was abducted in Afghanistan in 2022. Photo courtesy FBI/ Release June 25 (UPI) -- The United States is offering a reward of up to $5 million for information locating Mahmood Shah Habibi, an Afghan American businessman who was abducted in Afghanistan nearly three years ago. The reward from the U.S. State Department's Rewards for Justice Program was announced Tuesday by department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce, who said during a regular press briefing, "We have determined that he has been disappeared, and that he has not been heard from." According to a release from the FBI in August, Habibi, a contractor for Kabul-based telecommunications company Asia Consultancy Group, and his driver were kidnapped from their vehicle near his home in the Afghan capital on Aug. 10, 2022. It is believed that he was taken by the Taliban along with 29 other employees of his company, all of whom, except for Habibi, have since been released. "He has not been heard from since his initial arrest, and the Taliban has yet to provide any information regarding his whereabouts or condition," the State Department said in a statement. Bruce said they are hoping the $5 million reward will entice someone to come forward. "It makes a difference in everyone's lives that we might get some information about him," she said. The U.S. military withdrew from Afghanistan in 2021. In its absence, the Taliban regained control of the Middle Eastern country.
