So as you walk into the Pecking Order on Clark Street you are left in no doubt as to what this place has to offer. Pretty much “Chicken Every Which Way” Now I had done my homework on this place, I spotted it as I walked over to the Target store at Wilson this past…

Sinbad’s – Falafel House
Sinbad’s is just a short stride from the Belmont Red, Purple and Brown line stop in Lakeview. I wasn’t really heading out looking for Mediterranean Cuisine, I was looking for something simple and reasonably healthy, so what was I doing in Belmont. There are lots of places to eat, but somehow I was drawn in through…
Jeri’s Grill – Old School Diner, “Perched on my stool eating Perch”
I have been to Jeri’s Grill in the day for breakfast, brunch and lunch having the typical diner fare of eggs, bacon, and sausage. Each time I have seen that it was open 24 hours and so tonight when I got the munchies I thought I would stroll over there to see what was on the menu…
Angel Bakery at Lincoln Square Farmer’s Market
I was perusing the Angel Food Bakery stall at the Thursday night farmers market in the Western CTA car park near Lincoln Square and spyed some savoury treats to take home for a lunch time snack. I bought a couple of these interesting looking savoury pies which when I got the home found out that they…
Hot Diggetey Dog – Northside SummerFest
Forget watching planes and boats, this weekend the festival of choice was the Hot Dog Festival in Northside. I could have fought my way through the masses along North Avenue beach or I could have eaten a hot dog sitting casually in the sunshine on Lincoln Avenue. Tough choice and I take the hot dog every time. All along…
Chicago Brauhaus – A germanic retro meal experience
I have walked past Chicago Brauhaus in Lincoln Square on many occasions and had never set foot inside. I have to admit that it was watching an episode of Diners, Drive ins and Dives in which it was featured that finally tipped me over the door step. Thinking about it I do not know why…
I was trying to dial Buenos Aries in Argentina but ended up getting 5411 Empanada’s new store, it was the best crossed line ever!
OK so my blog title for this store maybe a bit out there, but really it is a tribute to the story of how this truck and shop are named. The Argentinian inspired Empanada shop is named after the dialing codes for Argentina and Buenos Aries which is 54 and 11 respectively. This was my first visit to…
Potluck on Potstickers and more from Jade East
I quite like it when the local resturants put a stall outside their doors at the local festivals. At the Taste of Lincoln the Jade East Chinese Resturant had done just that. While I am not going to rave about them I am going to say that they had some nice snacks and they were…
Sampling one of Prost’s Cheese filled sausage – ‘The Kasekrainer’ note “Under the El need not be Hell”
Prost sits beneath the CTA Train Line at 2566 N Lincoln Avenue just between Sheffield Ave and Wrightwood Ave. It is a German style beer hall that recently re-opened on May 31st 2012. I was just passing by heading up to the end of the Taste of Lincoln Avenue on my way to Etno Grill, when I was distracted by a menu sign…
Its those Chizakaya guys again at the Taste of Lincoln and this time I am getting those Octopus Beignets!
This weekend walking through the Taste of Lincoln, Chizakaya and my paths crossed once more. Last weekend I tried their Japodog and it’s true just as their sign states, they had me at bacon. This time I took the opportunity to try the two dishes that I missed out on last time, the Pork belly slider and…
