One of my first blog posts was after a visit to the Etno Grill, when I was advised to return to try one of their burgers. I have since been back twice and have taken that advice, I am just noting that so that you don’t think I scoffed down these two burgers at one visit….

Its cold and I am reminiscing, or rather day dreaming, about Pasties Where: At the Bowmanville Fall Festival Ravenswood and Balmoral When: 2pm 15 Oct 2011 I was definatley going to go out of my way to meet up with the Bridgeport pasty truck and when I saw on twitter that they would be at…
Marquette Inn – Adams
With the colder weather all I wanted was something warming and I found that at the Marquette Inn on Adams street. Heading down the blue line to the loop, this place offered Simple fare, homely and friendly staff . I just went for a simple plate of open Roast Beef sandwich with gravy and Mashed…
Montrose Blue – Food Food where are you?
“Nobody told me there would be days like these” I am pretty sure that I will discover more food deserts on my quest to eat along the El Line, but as starts on the next stage hitting the blue line this was a pretty souless activity. The Montrose Blue Line stop, like many, is slap…
Man off a tram “How a guy follows a recipe in Stephanie Izard’s ‘Girl in the Kitchen’ cookbook and spent $40 making soup (good soup mind you)
So sometime back when I started this blog I went down to Ethyl’s Food Truck Night where Stephanie Izard was selling her new book “Girl in the Kitchen” and selling soup from the Lillie’s Q food truck. https://elstopfoodhunt.wordpress.com/2011/10/07/girl-in-a-food-truck-ethyls-dive-bar-truckin-thursday/ Since then I have watched that season of Top Chef and finally this week made the attempt…
Rokitos Mexican Streetside Kitchen
Back on my El Stop project I headed over to the Wilson Red Line el station to search for some nearby snacks. Right underneath the line is a small Mexican taco shack called Rokito’s. In direct contrast with the rest of the area this place was warm, clean and friendly inside. I was surprised as…

If you like the occasional hot dog then no trip to New York woud be complete without a trip to the mecca of Nathan’s original hot dogs in Brooklyn at Coney Island on the corner of Surf and Stillwell Avenue opposite the Coney Island Subway stop. It is not just the history of the place that has…
Off Track NYC “A Salt and Battery”
For an expat Englishman there is a constant search for good fish and chips, not just abroad but in the UK also. Some surveys will claim that Curry is the number one takeaway in the UK these days, but ignore that it is Fish and Chips, and that is what we seek and crave when overseas….
Off Track NYC – Excellent Dumpling House
OK so it is a bit of a stretch on the El Stop Food Hunt project, but if one accepts that both O’Hare and Midway are stops on the elevated railway then if I fly from there to somewhere else, such as say New York I am still eating along the el (yes big stretch,…
Yolk – Breakfast, Brunch, or Lunch – this place does all
I picked this place for brunch mostly due to its proximity to the Chicago Brown Line el station so that I could add another notch onto the project objective. I know that it is part of a small chain, but we just don’t get places like this in the UK. Maybe we do in London, but…
