While the honoree may have roots in Mexico and California, Chicago is more than happy to do its part in celebrating National Spicy Guacamole Day on Nov. 14. Please note the key word: spicy. The standard version of this affair took place back in Sep., so be sure to have the chef at one of these fine options kick up the heat to really do things right.
