As I approached Byron’s hot dogs on Lawrence the first thing I saw was on old style sign high up above the power lines, then as I walked through the car park there was a whole wall painted yellow with the Byron’s sign, a Chicago Dog and a Vienna Beef sign. I love this…

“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…
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…
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…
Grahamwhich – Still the best Grilled Cheese sandwich
So I am going to make this a brief posting. When I get the need in my soul for a truly great grilled cheese sandwich there is only only one place in Chicago that I am going to. That place is Grahamwich. Now this sandwich is basically, according to their menu, a sandwich of Winsconsin Cheddar,…

Far from Moody at Moody’s – Chasing a Cheeseburger
Moody’s Pub is not too far away from the Thorndale CTA El Stop on the Red Line. This last weekend I headed up to the EdgeFest in Edgewater looking for some promised bacon related treats. To be honest the Fest Food was not that inspiring, but I knew that Moody’s was nearby and it…
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…
