Chicago's new Milk Bar pays tribute to the classics
Zoom in: Chef Christina Tosi has created two sweet takes (well, sweeter in one case) on some local favorites.
The bite: Portillo's Chocolate Cake Cookie ($3.25)
Warmed up, it's a gooey piece of chocolate cake in cookie form with a perfect ratio of chips to cookie base. It will fill the craving of Portillo's cake and is a little easier to eat on the go than a slice.
The intrigue: No mayonnaise in this one, Tosi tells Axios.
The bite: The Hot Dog Bomb ($6)
Carrie's husband Matt is stepping in on this one because she's a vegetarian.
What he's saying: "The relish, mustard and poppy seed bun give it a true Chicago dog taste. There's some kick in the mustard but not sure what it is."
"I'd order a six-pack of those."
If you go: Milk Bar is at 200 N. Green St. at The Hoxton Hotel.

1 big thing: PBS North Carolina grapples with budget cuts
Zachery Eanes, Lucille Sherman Hello Thursday! 🌤️ Weather: Mostly sunny with a high in the low 90s and a chance for thunderstorms. 🎂 Happy birthday to our Axios Raleigh members Rick Powell and Donna Crocetti! PBS North Carolina, which reaches 14 million people in North Carolina and surrounding states, is set to lose around 15% of its funding over the next two years due to federal cuts to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Why it matters: The funding reduction is equal to around $9 million over two years, PBS North Carolina's CEO David Crabtree tells Axios, and it will likely force the 70-year-old organization to make some tough budget decisions. Already, it's made two separate cuts to non-personnel expenditures this year, including pausing some local production projects. Driving the news: The downsizing made earlier this month to the Corporation of Public Broadcasting is expected to have significant ramifications on local NPR and PBS stations nationwide. What they're saying: "Bottom line is, we have to play the hand we're dealt," Crabtree said. "Our budget is finite. It could go up a little again with donations coming in, but right now, we are looking at a substantial shortfall. Zoom in: In addition to showing content produced by PBS, PBS North Carolina produces a host of its own shows and documentaries, operates four channels and creates educational resources for children in the state. Its network of broadcast towers across the state also provides broadcasts for the state's Emergency Operations Center and is used by first responders for emergency communications. Threat level: Crabtree said no cuts are off the table right now, but the goal is to find a way to not cut production or staff. PBS North Carolina employs around 140 people in the state and has its headquarters in Research Triangle Park. The organization is looking at new ways to keep the same level of local content, Crabtree said. One move might be to scale back its own productions and instead purchase projects about North Carolina from other producers, a move that would lessen its editorial control. The bottom line:"We will have to be more creative with what we have, without having content and quality suffer in any way. That is my commitment," Crabtree said. "How we're going to get there, I'm not sure, but we are working on it at least 18 hours a day right now." 2. Cooper Senate announcement nears Stephen Neukam Former North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper is preparing to launch his Senate campaign next week, multiple sources told Axios. Why it matters: Cooper is the Democratic Party's top recruit in 2026, bolstering their chances of flipping a critical seat from Republicans. Cooper, a popular former governor, will instantly become the Democratic favorite to challenge the GOP for the open Senate seat next year. The party's leadership, including Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee Chair Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), has lobbied Cooper for months to run. The big picture: Cooper and Democrats will now await a decision from Lara Trump, President Trump's daughter-in-law, who essentially has the right of first refusal on the GOP side. Democrats see their path as widening in the North Carolina Senate race after Sen. Thom Tillis' retirement announcement last month. Cooper was floated as a possible vice presidential candidate in 2024, but opted instead for a stint at Harvard at the beginning of this year. Former Rep. Wiley Nickel, a Democrat who served for one term before Republicans redrew his seat before the 2024 election, announced a Senate bid in April. 3. The Tea: Meredith's cuts 🎓 Meredith College, the Raleigh-based women's liberal arts school, is cutting 6% of its workforce as part of a restructuring of its budget. (Triangle Business Journal 🔒) ⛽️ Wawa, the popular Pennsylvania gas station and hoagie maker, will open its first location in Garner today. (WRAL) 🌲 Restoring North Carolina's peat bogs could help both store planet-warming carbon and soak up flood waters. (New York Times) ✈️ JetBlue will add a new direct flight between RDU and Fort Lauderdale, Fla., starting Oct. 26. (News & Observer 🔒) 4. Nash Street tower downsizes plans The developer behind a planned condo tower on Nash Square are downsizing its plans for the tower from 36 stories to 20 stories. Why it matters: The original plans from New York-based Alchemy Properties, which would be built on the former site of Berkeley Cafe at 217 W. Martin St., would have made it the tallest building in downtown Raleigh. Zoom in: The new plans call for 82 condo units, starting at $795,000, according to a spokesperson for the company. The building would also include: a pool deck, spa, fitness center and ground-floor retail space. Alchemy plans to resubmit its adjusted plans to the city by the end of the year, with a goal of completing the tower in two and a half years. 5. Stat du jour: 🏈 The Belichick effect UNC said Wednesday that all single-game and season tickets for games at Kenan Stadium have been sold out, the earliest in the calendar the school has ever been able to do that. Why it matters: The sellouts provide evidence that the school's bet on hiring legendary NFL coach Bill Belichick is coming with some financial successes, at least in the short run. Between the lines: UNC is funneling huge financial resources into its football program, and that investment is pushing the university to find new forms of revenue to keep up with college athletics' changing financial realities.

Salt Lake City chef beats Bobby Flay with chile relleno win
Urban Hill chef Nick Zocco brought his southwestern flair to Food Network's "Beat Bobby Flay" — and walked away with a win. Why it matters: It's a notable victory that could put Salt Lake City's fast-growing culinary scene on the map. Driving the news: The "Beat Bobby Flay" episode — "Is It Getting Chile in Here?" — aired last Thursday. Catch up quick: Zocco, a two-time James Beard Award nominee, told Axios the toughest part was inventing standout dishes under the clock — and ignoring noisy judges. Zocco said a show recruiter contacted him in January. He filmed in New York soon after, giving him less than a week to prep. The morning of the show's taping, Zocco said he confidently turned to his wife and said: "I'm winning this competition." Spoiler alert: Zocco won the competition's first round against Austin-based cook Stefanie Torres with his pork albondigas. In the end, Zocco blew away judges with his signature dish — lump crab chile relleno with black bean and New Mexico red chile sauce — defeating Flay's chorizo version. Flashback: It wasn't Zocco's first interaction with Flay. Zocco formerly worked as a sous chef for Flay's Mesa Grill in Las Vegas, which gave him an advantage. "I came up with something that wasn't necessarily traditional, but I know the flavor profiles were there and I didn't follow suit to what Bobby's style was," he noted on what tipped the scales to his victory. Zocco noted the show's competitive nature reflected the constant demands he faces in the kitchen.

Rachel Dratch shares her Massachusetts go-tos
Comedian, "SNL" veteran and proud Lexingtonian Rachel Dratch is coming home to New England this weekend for a show with comedy group Bluebird Improv. Axios caught up with Dratch about her favorite haunts around her hometown and how she celebrated Lexington's big 250th Patriots' Day. Dratch admits she doesn't get to Boston proper often enough to be an expert, but she's visited some local spots with famous friends like Tina Fey. "Last time I was in Boston — should I name-drop here? — it was to do the Tina and Amy show and we ate at Buttermilk & Bourbon for Tina's birthday brunch," Dratch said. When she's back home, she always tries to get to China Sky in Winchester. For dessert: Dratch insisted on mentioning her favorite ice cream spot in Massachusetts: the Ice Cream Smuggler in Dennis. "Nowhere else takes it as seriously!" she said of the Bay State's commitment to ice cream. She hit the Battle of Lexington 250th anniversary hard, waking up at 4:30am to go to the big reenactment. "It's actually surprisingly moving when you see the ragtag group of Minutemen standing on the Green and you hear the drums approaching with this big army of redcoats," Dratch said. She was in the parade this year with her mom and two friends from childhood she bumped into.
