I have been looking forward to visiting the Little Goat Diner on West Randolph St with eager anticipation for quite some time now. I have been to Stephanie Izard’s Flagship restaurant the Girl in the Goat a few times and I really love that place but it is so hard to get a table. There…

Publican Quality Meats – Truly Great Sandwiches
Publican Quality Meats is in the Fulton Market district of Chicago and is easily accessible from the Pink Line via Morgan or Clinton El stop stations. It is part of Paul Kahan’s notable empire, and is right across the road from The Publican Resturant. Not only is it a purveyor of quality meats and associated meat related deli…
Girl & The Goat – Worth the wait
The Girl and Goat on Randolph Street is one of my favourite destinations, I admit that initially I was drawn due to my Top Chef interests as it is owned and run by Stephanie Izzard winner of season 4, but now I go there as it is a cool unpretenious and comfortable spot to eat some pretty damn…
The Little Italy Series – Patio Hot Dogs
Patio Hot Dogs at 1503 W. Taylor St may not seem like much, but it has been here since 1948 and that has to be worth something in the country of low history, it is a Taylor street institution. My encounter was at the recent Taste of Italy where I was attracted by some sausages…

The Little Italy Series – Davanti Enoteca
It wasn’t the Davanti sign that pulled me into trying some of their food, no it was the great big pot of deliciously looking sauce that caught my eye as I passed by that made me walk back to try something. It was a ragu sauce and had been cookng down for hours and it smelt…
French Market, Belgian Burger?
Just a short walk away from the Clinton CTA El station, Inside the Ogilvie Transportation Station is the French Market. This is a really nice little indoor market of artisan vendors and food stalls. Almost hidden away at the back are a number of stalls cooking fresh food and amongst those stalls is Frietkoten Belgian Fries….
Bright spot at the Taste of Randolph – Belly Q (coming soon)
A week or so back I headed down to the Taste of Randolph really as an excuse to travel to the newly opened Morgan El Station on the orange line. This station has opened up the Randolph Street corridor to the El rider, as you descend from the platform, if you walk South about 5 minutes along Morgan…
Saigon Sisters – East Loop at Clinton
Today I ventured out onto a new branch of the El and started my hunt up the Green and Pink lines. The first stop out of the Loop is the Clinton stop which is just near to the French Market. I figured I would save the market for a weekend when I had time to…
