Good style is timeless. Doesn’t matter what we’re talking about. Chairs. Buildings. Phones. Your hair. On second thought, let’s talk about your hair. That matters.

A word problem: One train leaves Ogilvie for Kenosha at 4:36pm going 60 mph. An express train leaves Ogilvie in the same direction two hours later going 80 mph. Pulled-pork pot stickers?

Allow your eyes to linger for another moment on the photograph above. Go ahead. Really get in there and do some lingering. Those are really something, aren’t they? You can find those dumplings and more dumplings (and also more dumplings) at Packed, which is opening today in Hyde Park. Oh, and Mike Sheerin’s in charge, so you know those dumplings will
