New York State Hurricane Sandy Relief Efforts
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s office is heading up relief efforts in New York for those who have been affected by Hurricane Sandy and are in need of food and beverage products as well as cleaning supplies. The governor has named Secretary of State Cesar Perales as the state’s Coordinator of Corporate Contributions, who will oversee and facilitate donations from private organizations. The Grocery Manufacturers Association (GMA) has been asked to play a role in coordinating CPG donations for families affected by the hurricane. Organizations interested in providing donations are urged to visit the governor’s website at http:// w w w .gov ern or.n y .gov / sandycompanydonations. If your company has -- or will -- make donations to Hurricane Sandy relief efforts, please notify GMA by contacting GMA’s Vice President of Industry Affairs and Collaboration Elise Fennig at efennig@gmaonline.org.

Diner X JANUARY 2013
BAKER HILL PANCAKE HOUSE 1279 Dundee ELGIN, IL 847-888-8119. Celebrating their 18th anniversary. Great place for breakfast. If you choose a skillet or omelet you can have an order of pancakes instead of toast. I like the Fox River skillet; hash browns, ham, onions, mushrooms, peppers and cheese topped with two eggs. BO-BO’S DINER 280 Hawthorne Village VERNON HILLS, IL 847-680-8900. Good food and a great value. Create your own combo sampler. Start off with the homemade Italian Beef sandwich with gravy, the BBQ skirt steak sandwich with grilled onions and an order of their famous BBQ ribs which are customer top rated. CENTRAL CONTINENTAL BAKERY 101 S. Main MT. PROSPECT, IL 847-870-9500. Danger! There are so many good things to eat in here. They have old fashioned double chocolate donuts, amazing pecan coffee cake, sweet rolls, cookies, pies and the biggest apple turnover I’ve ever seen. If you order a dipla they top it off with a little love. DUNKIN DONUTS 2120 Miner St. DES PLAINES, IL 847-8274278. The staff here is so nice and friendly. My day starts with a cup of nice hot Dunkin Donuts coffee. DD is my No# 1 favorite coffee. I prefer getting my cup of coffee from the shop instead of making it myself. G T GISH & OYSTER 531 N.

Extensive wine list & menu. Start off with a glass of sangria. For your entrée, choose a variety of items for sharing. My choices included the baked bacon wrapped dates, grilled sirloin with roasted potatoes, tomato basil pizza, and the grilled chicken breast with leeks. WINGSTOP 47 W. Division CHICAGO, IL 312-465-2369. Fast food. Boneless and classic wings are the specialty of the house and there are so many flavors to choose from I like how you can mix & match the flavors. I usually get the lemon pepper and Louisiana rub wings. ZOBA THE NOODLE BAR 1565 Sherman EVANSTON, IL 847328-9622. Known for their homemade noodles.
