Kuma’s Too at 666 West Diversey Parkway has all the same burgers as the original Kumas Corner, but it doesn’t quite have the down and dirty grunge that you had at the original location. Perhaps it is because I know that it is in the old space that housed the old Counter Burger which closed back in 2013, and perhaps…

Sam and George’s Resturant on North Lincoln – Excellent Breakfast and More
The S&G Resturant or Sam & George’s Resturant is on North Lincoln in Lakeview on the corner of Wellington and has been on the corner serving up breakfast and diner fare for over 50 years since 1957. They are open 7 days a week, which is great for us, but must be tiring for them. The tagline on…
The South Loop Club – For a Burger and a Beer
Recently I found myself staying down by the Harrison El Stop kind of by accident. I was pretty much desperate for something to eat and ended up at the South Loop Club, a kind of half dive bar half sports bar, I quite liked it. I will be honest and say that apart from a cold…
Downtown Dogs – Doggone good dogs in the City!
One of the first hot dogs that I ate in Chicago was at DownTown Dogs and I remember it well. It was freezing and just a couple of days after the snowpocalypse of 2011. I had found myself sheltering here after having bought myself a rent deposit cheque from the ‘cheques cashed’ shop on the…
Salt and Pepper Diner – “Classic Diner Fare and more to pique the interest”
The Salt and Pepper Diner in Wrigleyville is one of those places that you can pick up a decent bite any time of the day, Sandwiches, Burgers, Breakfasts, pretty much all of your regular diner food. It is the sort of place I hope to find for a late morning breakfast, a late lunch, or…
Genes Sausage shop in Lincoln Square, Great meats and a great deli counter.
Genes Sausage Shop is in the heart of Lincoln Square in easy walking distance of the Western El Stop on the Brown Line. When I first considered moving out of the burbs into the city I was told that Lincoln Square was a pretty good area to look for an apartment, so just after the…
‘Frontera Torta by Rick Bayless’ at Ohare terminal 5 – Get the stew!
It is not always easy to find anything decent to eat at Chicago O’Hare airport, especially if you are flying from one of the smaller airlines on one of those tiny bare concourses that are bereft of any reasonable dining options. I was fearing the worst when I was flying back with British Airways and…
Over to the Savory Spice Shop at Lincoln Square for some rubs
There are already a number of really good shops in Chicago on my list where you can go along in hunt of spice blends from all over the world so why not have another one? The recently opened Savory Spice Shop in Lincoln Square is a very welcome addition. In the past I have often…
The Metropolis Coffee cafe at Granville – English Breakfast Muffin and a Latte? Why Not
The Metropolis Coffee Company café is located up in Edgewater close to the red line at the Granville Stop. I had two good reasons to visit them, firstly I had won some gift cards at the recent Chicago Blogger’s Meet-up at the Chopping Block, and secondly I had somehow failed to have alighted before at…
Southport Grocery and Cafe – Slighty fancier than your average breakfast spot
The Southport Grocery and Café is unsurprisingly on Southport Avenue and is about 10 minutes walk away from the Southport Brown line El Stop. It always seems to be very popular on the weekend, with the breakfast and brunch crowd. I have walked past many a time and not been able to spot a free table,…
