River North: Stephanie Izard and the 312 Dining Diva will be guest bartending tonight at Watershed from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. Izard promises that bourbon, rhurbarb, and ginger will be involved in the drink. [StephAndTheGoat]

South Loop: More burgers! Sloopin reports that a sign for the The Burger Point has been put up in the window at 1900 S. State, which used to house a children’s barber shop called Kutting Edge Kidz. We haven’t heard much about it, but apparently along with burgers it will serve fries, wings, and chili. [Sloopin]

Evanston: Always ready to test the limits of what a classic Chicago stand can offer, Wiener and Still Champion has created a Hell On Earth Burger. It contains fried jalapeno chips, raw jalapeno slices, chili-garlic ketchup, spicy mustard, and an unnamed hot sauce. Though described as “potent” and “bold” in a video, the test subject did live to tell the tale. [Wiener and Still Champion]

Wrigleyville: The Cubs are hoping to construct a “long-stalled triangle building,” which will add about 1,791 seats to the stadium. It also may include “an upscale restaurant.” Nothing is definite at this point, but in the meantime you can still check out dollar hot dog night. [Sun Times]
