The S&G Resturant or Sam & George’s Resturant is on North Lincoln in Lakeview on the corner of Wellington and has been on the corner serving up breakfast and diner fare for over 50 years since 1957. They are open 7 days a week, which is great for us, but must be tiring for them. The tagline on…

Duke of Perth – Scottish Beer and ‘All you can eat Fish and Chips’
There are so many Irish bars in Chicago that sometimes it gets a bit boring, so was nice to find The Duke of Perth which is a Decent Scottish pub over in Lakeview on Clark Street. I am sure that for its regular punters it is a great neighbourhood bar, but for many of us…
The Clark Street Dog
Clark Street Dogs was one of the first places that I ever went to in Chicago, and on that occasion I had my first italian sausage. I did not have anything to compare that with so at the time I thought it was quite good. I went back a second time and tried one of their Philly…
I managed to sandwich in “Sandwich me in” and it was well worth the effort!
For sometime now I have been walking along Clark St to various other eateries and keep on passing by the “Sandwich me In” sandwich shop. Each time I think ‘dang it’ I could have eaten there, but then another week passed by and I had forgotten to try them out. So this weekend I was…
I just met Weird Harold at Stella’s Diner
I am easily sold on places to eat, and when Stella’s Diner in Lakeview followed me on Twitter this week, I felt I would repay the compliment by stopping off for a bite to eat. I have to say that it really is a quite a quirky place inside, nice art work on the walls…
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…
Kluck U
I love roasted chicken and I am a total sucker for a well named resturant, so Kluck U on N Broadway Ave in Lakeview succeeded on attracting me though both counts. While we are at names, others I would like to see are French fast food outlets selling frogs legs and snails, maybe called “Just Croaked”…
Lina Pita – Authentic Moroccan Cuisine
I haved walked past Lina Pita a number of times and from the outside it really does not look much. However there was this picture in the window of a tagine that always caught my eye. So in the mood for something in a bowl I made a special trip over to Belmont to see…
Flub a Dub Chub’s
“You had me at hello” Awesome name and it would have been rude not to enter to see if this place lived up to a start such as that! The shop is downstairs in the basement and it really is quite a unique spot. The walls are strewn with drawings from kids and big kids alike…
Hot Diggity Dogs
In the search for places to eat next to the El line is is hard to find somewhere closer than Hot Diggity Dogs, located at 947 W Wellington Ave, between Sheffield & Mildred Ave, and practically built under the arches of the Wellington Brown line El station. The menu board is pretty basic on first inspection and…
