Glenn’s Diner is situated in sight of the Montrose Brown CTA el station and really you cannot miss it, both visually and in actual fact you really ‘should not’ miss eating here. Midweek the place opens at 11am and even then there were quite a few in for breakfast. I went for the chive and…

More Marmalade
This place is so good that it was very unlikely that I would not be returning. I was amazed that it took this long. On this occasion it was a rare treat as I had my mother over from the UK and having two great breakfast brunch spots to take her too on my door step…
“Winner Winner Chicken Dinner?” – MO-FO2GO
This is one of those little places that you walk by and miss, but it has one feature that really catches the eye, and that is the wood burning oven that faces the window. Lets face it that is just cheating, once you see it you just know that you will have to go in…
M&M world in Times Square – Take out
Inspiration or enthusiam arrives in many strange ways. After two hours searching the remote for my UK DVD player it was finally located under the piles of menus and flyers for unwritten blog entries that I have been putting off for the last few weeks, and in that pile was the remnants of the Christmas…
CHaRLITo’s CoCINa – “Scratch Cooking and Charcuterie”
I bumped into Charlito’s Cocina at the Columbus Christmas Market on a pre-xmas shopping trip to New York. Hidden away amongst the stalls selling beads, fancy jewellery, and scented candles, Charles Wekselbaum stood with his small board of little charcuterie treats. Other market browsers passed him by, but I was straight in there. There were some…

Blue Sky Bakery & Cafe – North Center
The Blue Sky Bakery & Cafe is located near to the at 3720 N Lincoln Ave. I happened across it purely by chance, opting for some exercise on my way to Whole Foods I decided to walk between Montrose and Paulina El stations, half way it felt a bit foolish as the temperature was 25F and I was…
Wild Game Sausages at ‘Heat’ by the Damen Blue El
Travelling down the Blue Line I stopped off at Damen to see what was around there, being Wicker Park there are a whole load of food options. However, by now you may well have clocked that I have a prediliction for the good old hot dog, and when I saw a sign “Gourmet Dogs, Burgers &…
Thai Avenue – Argyle
It was a cold night out there tonight and being really sensible instead of staying in the warm I decided to head out into the dark and over to Argyle via the red line to get something spicy to warm me up. Initially I was a bit deflated as I was really aiming for Pho Xe Tang…
Christkindlmarket Daley Plaza
I love a good German Christmas market, but you know I do know that they are just a really poor imitation of the real thing, and I wish that people would travel to experience the real thing. Is that harsh? I don’t think so, having eaten some really bad food at some of these clones that…
