Luella’s Southern Kitchen is just the sort of place you need to find on a dreary day when you could do with a dose of Southern Soul and some homely food to warm your heart. Located on North Lincoln, it is well worth the 10 minute walk south from the Western El Stop in Lincoln…

More real kitchen – Lunchtime Sandwiches
I have blogged about Real Kitchen and the gourmet ready meals that they prepare fresh daily before but I really felt that I had to share the really good sandwiches that we got there for lunch today. Blink and you may miss the small board listing the daily sandwiches, but for reference it’s on the far left…
Artisan Sandwiches alongside the Artists at First Slice Cafe in Ravenswood
I am a big fan of ‘First Slice’, which is a self-funded charity to feed the needy and homeless and have often frequented their cafe just next to the Brown Line up at the Francisco stop in North Manor although thinking about it that seems a bit daft as I have another one of their cafes right around the…
Pork Chops of the late night variety has become a food drug – Jeri’s Grill became my new supplier
Late night at Jeri’s Grill, I was in dire need of some sort of breakfast type food, more specifically I really had my mind set on some pork chops. Every morning my bus passes by Jeri’s and I look across at the same window shown above wishing that I was in there having some eggs…
The Big Cheese on Lincoln – Open at last! grilled cheese sandwiches for all!
After what seems like the longest wait ever, The Big Cheese on Lincoln Avenue finally opened its doors. Was it really back in March that several sources reported that the space on the corner of Lincoln and W Cullom was being taken over by “The Big Cheese”? It really was, and in that time I have…
The Golden Angel – just how much food does one man need?
This was my second visit to the Golden Angel Pancake House and I may not have to eat for the rest of the week. Located at 4344 N. Lincoln Ave (Montrose), vaguely between the Montrose Brown and the Western Brown Line is the Golden Angel. All I really wanted was a Pork Chop, so I…
Real Kitchen – “Food your mother would cook if she’d been to culinary school”. Their tagline
The Real Kitchen tagline is “Food your mother would cook if she’d been to culinary school“. I am just putting that out there as I know my Mother reads this. I have had Real Kitchen on my radar for some time now, but this week it came up in conversation both with a work colleague…
Troquet by LM – a French Bar
I have to admit a slight bias towards Troquet by LM on the corner of Wolcott and Montrose as it is my neighbourhood bar. It is primarily a French style bar, but it does serve some good food as well. It is part of the LM family that includes LM Bistro recently moving to 111 W…
“What comes first the chicken or the egg?” Now here is the “Pecking order”
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…
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…
