I have always had a fond spot in my heart for the Goose Island Brewery Tap in Wrigley ville and I had been quite sad to find it closed last time I was in Chicago. So on this visit I had been really happy to find it open again, but that happiness was to…

Goose Island Brewery in Wrigleyville – Fantastic Beer and Good Bar Food too
Goose Island brewery in Wrigleyville is one of two brew pubs in the Chicago city area, the other and original Goose Island Brewpub is at Clybourn. I have been to the one at Wrigleyville the most and while it can be packed and lively when the Cubs are in town, it is also a pretty chilled out…
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…
Going to the dogs in Wrigleyville – Hot Dogging
What would Chicago be without the hot dog and the cubs? You can get both on Clark Street in Wrigleyville. Wrigleysville Dogs proudly claim to be serving the official Hot Dog of the Chicago Cubs. I suppose I could have gone down the route of the traditional Chicago Dog, and maybe given the location I…
Butcher and Burger at the Roscoe Village Burger Fest 2012
The first stand that I headed to and one of the primary reasons for my attendance at this festival was that of the Butcher and Burger (website: http://butcherandtheburger.com/). I have really meant to visit their store at 1021 W. Armitage Ave for some time now, and really don’t have any valid excuses, especially as it…
Roscoe Village Burger Fest 2012
Second time lucky I headed down to Roscoe Village to hunt through the Roscoe Village Burger Fest. This time I forgoed the bus in lieu of a walk to burn off the the extra pounds I would gain from scoffing some burgers. Thirty minutes later walking down from Montrose Brown I hit the gate…
Sausage Fest 2012 Chicago
Chicago Sausage Fest in Chicago lies in the shadow of Wrigley Field on Sheffield Avenue. I came here last year in 2011 and sampled sausages from the Dog House, but this year I had my eye on catching up with the Haute Sausage Food Truck. I have had sausage from this truck before, but as the current law…
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…
Dog House Flashback (Chicago Sausage Fest 2011)
Memory flashback to June 4th 2011 Wrigley Field I knew there was something familiar about the Mayor Daley at the Dog House last night. I had already had one from their stall at Chicago Sausage Fest, and one of their Alligator Sausages too. Must have been on a subliminal wander last night my hot dog…
