“You had me at hello” Awesome name and it would have been rude not to enter to see if this place lived up to a start such as that! The shop is downstairs in the basement and it really is quite a unique spot. The walls are strewn with drawings from kids and big kids alike…

Nookies Edgewater
This place need to advertise itself much better, I headed up to the Bryn Mawr Red Line stop as I had not eaten anywhere up there yet and in my quest to find somewhere near each stop to snack it seemed a fair place to stop. It was a great day for November and I…
Big Star Food Truck
Just caught Consuelo the Big Star Food Truck alongside Presidential Towers in the West Loop, it was a little bit chilly out but not cold enough to resist the lure of some food truck food offerings. I was really only in the market for a quick taco, but I was tempted and persuaded by the…
Chicken Hut – Possibly the best grilled chicken in town…discuss
Its very simple come here to eat chicken, whole, half, or a quarter. This was one of the first places I ate at when I came to Chicago. It was the grill through the window piled high and the smell of fresh char broiled chicken grabbing at my nostrils and gently pulling me in through the door that did…
Chicago Bagel Authority
Chicago Bagel Authority…I feel like Jake Blues standing in the door of Triple Rock Church.. “Jesus Tap Dancing Christ I have seen the light” Until now I have not understood any obsession with this type of sandwich. The bread is too dense, too thick and it is like eating a rubber sponge. Each week the hoards at…
The Southern Mac & Cheese Store
Would it surprise you if I told you that this place sells Macaroni and Cheese, I didn’t think so, but it also sells one killer of a toasted cheese sandwich which was what I came here for. Simply and Aptly it is just called “The Sandwich” The menu describes this as Hot Stuffed, Sweet Gena…
Fountainhead
This is one of my favourite Chicago bars and it is very handy that it is located mere steps from where I live, that is also quite dangerous as it stays open late (2am on average) so if you fancy a quick beer or little tasty snack it is as good as dialling for a…
Spacca Napoli Pizzeria
Lets just get right down to it. This place has great Italian Pizza Forget Chicago style, Brooklyn, or New York pizza. This is how pizza should be cooked. The menu is divided up into pizze rosa and pizze bianca (red and white pizza basically with or without a tomato sauce). I went from the white side…
Al’s Beef
Ok so there are a few questions, should I be having an Italian beef sandwich for breakfast? Did I have one?, and was it nice? Not really, yes, and it was. Luckily I am not charged with exhalting the culinary heights of Chicago or only seeking out the best of the best. This allows me to…
Frank ‘n’ Dawgs
This is my fourth visit to Frank and Dawgs and I love the place, it is a good job it is not on my block or I would be eating there until I was sick of the place or until I was a candidate for the Biggest Loser (well a serious candidate anyway, just to fend…
