Authentic Chicago pizza |Hauck's Corner has new life | A "Next Gen" KFC

Welcome back to the dining world, where there's always something new to try. Like Jake & Elwoods Pizza, which opened right as the economy shut down in March 2020. 

Also here's a last minute addition to this week's news: the gluten-free cafe Silly Axe Cafe is having a bad time. Owner Angela Pike posted a GoFundMe to save her business the other day. 

Here's some other foodie resources to take a bite out of.

Back at Hauck's Corner — Hauck's Handy Store stood at the corner of Goss Avenue and George Hauck Way in Schnitzelburg for 100 years before it closed. Now after $1 million (!!!!) in renovations it's reopening as a bar paying tribute to the Hauck's story. The bar is almost entirely reclaimed wood, vintage fixtures, and a classic cheap-beers-and-bologna-sandwiches menu. 

25+ Louisville restaurants to try — "Where should we eat" is a huge question, and Louisville has so many options to impress upon your out-of-town guests. What to do when you only have a few days? Dana McMahan has the inside scoop for you here, so bookmark it for later!

Authentic Chicago pizza — Jake & Elwood's on Frankfort Avenue serves up Chicago-style deep-dish pizza and hot dogs, a style of food that everyone has an opinion on. Contributing writer Lennie Omalza sat down with the owners , who said they always wanted to open a Chicago-style restaurant. They're even working to expand the bar space to offer games like pool, ping pong and darts. 

A "Next Generation" KFC experience — The newest KFC store has a "modern take" on its famous red and white stripes, and it's different than what you're used to. The dining room is smaller, with an emphasis placed instead on online orders, contactless pickup and drive-thru.
