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…
A little slice of a chain does you no harm – Rosati’s Pizza
Just for once I managed to get a half decent photograph on my phone as I was about to munch onto some food. Even better the pizza place had plates with their name and logos nicely displayed, they must have seen me coming. I don’t usually bother writing about eating in any of the bigger chains,…
FOODease at Watertower Place. How did I not about this? more importantly do you?

Part of which is the FOODease deli shop, OK so I was asking and I expect that you are too Who are or is FoodEase? Quoting directly from their website mission statement; “Foodease is…
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…
Morgan St Brewery – Good Beer and Food down at St Louis
At the end of the first leg of a route 66 drive from Chicago to St Louis is the Gateway to the West where you are greeted by the sight of The Arch on the St Louis banks of the Mississippi River. Impressive enough in itself, but you cannot eat or drink it, so I retired…
Ice Cream on Route 66 – A Twistee Treat
As you drive along Route 66 through Illinois on the way to St Louis you pass by the Twistee Treat Ice Cream building. If you don’t see the ice cream shack – you will probably have been distracted by the UFO, or great big tall man holding an ice cream. It was the UFO that caught…
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…
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: Rosebud cafe
The Rosebud cafe is one of a few in the chain hanging around the Chicago area. This particular one in Little Italy is at 1500 W Taylor and has been there since 1975 when the empire of Rosebud first got started. I was just passing by and was looking for a little sample of what they…
