The Owners of an Acclaimed Cocktail Bar Are Opening a Pizzeria in Avondale
It's been five years since Jim Lasko opened Guild Row in Avondale. The building, hidden off Elston Avenue, houses a co-working space for members, a library, a cafe, and a bar. They've hosted private parties and a rotating lineup of food pop-ups. There have been changes since 2020. Thattu opened with its brand of Southern Indian cuisine. Soul & Smoke opened a location off the Chicago River. One of the barbecue spot's neighbors, Metropolitan Brewing, sadly has closed. Now, Guild Row is about to embark on a new journey. They're partnering with the owners of the esteemed cocktail bar Meadowlark in Logan Square on a permanent restaurant inside their Avondale space. Lark Pizza will serve neo-Neoapolitan thin-crust pizza, the kind made famous at pizzerias like Paulie Gee's in Logan Square. They'll also offer Roman squares, or pinsas, to pay homage to designer and architect Elyse Agnello's Italian heritage. The pinsas are inspired by Agnello's family recipes and are low in gluten, according to a news release. Salads and appetizers round out the menu. Meadowlark's Steve Lewis runs three venues in Logan Square. There's the namesake cocktail bar; Union, a beer-hall style bar; and Lardon, an all-day salumeria and cafe. The pizzas will make use of Lardon's meats as toppings. There will be cocktails created by Meadowlark beverage director Abe Vucekovich. The Violet Hour alum will remain in charge of drink development even as he helms his new bar, Friends of Friends, which opens on Thursday, May 29. During the warmer months, Lark will make use of a 2,600-square-foot patio. The restaurant will be open for lunch and dinner seven days a week to the general public.

Major news on the future of the Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz, Meadowlark Media & DraftKings
In major news for the Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz and its fans, Meadowlark Media and DraftKings have agreed in principle to an extended contract, the Miami Herald has learned. The deal is expected to be for three years. The previous contract was worth $50 million. Expectations are that the new deal will be officially announced as soon as next week. The flagship Le Batard Show, South Beach Sessions and Nothing Personal with David Samson are among Meadowlark benchmarks of emphasis in the new agreement, which was first reported by Front Office Sports. Closing the deal had its recent pitfalls with reports that top executive John Skipper had left Meadowlark and that popular sidekick Stugotz would have a slightly lesser role on the main show. A source tells us the deal Stugotz signed will allow him the freedom to appear a bit less on the main show in order to grow his own affiliated shows, God Bless Football and Stupodity. The Miami-based Le Batard Show is the biggest, most popular property for Meadowlark, regularly ranking in the top five among national sports-related podcasts. Le Batard ended his long relationship with ESPN in January 2021 to go independent in what was said to be by 'mutual agreement.' Le Batard and Skipper, a former ESPN president, launched Meadowlark Media soon after.

Our audio/video network is thriving, and we look forward to sharing good news shortly in that regard. I'm so grateful that our Skipper has navigated today's turbulent media seas to get us into much safer waters.'
