This week I am on a mission to hunt down and consume as many different Chicago chef inspired scotch eggs. In order to do this I had to break my golden rule of doing any kind of research before I jumped on the Elevated railway to hunt for food. I was hoping that my google…
Wiener and Still Champion – Evanston. “The lure of country fried bacon”
Today I was back on track hunting down places along the El line and decided that as it was a sunny day I would head out and see what was out there. I caught the 78 bus from Montrose Brown CTA station which connected me to the Red line at Wilson, and then up the…
Baker & Nosh “Handmade Breads & Fine Cheese” Uptown
As you walk past Baker & Nosh you can see them baking the bread through the windows and that alone is enough to encourage you across the door step, my only moment of brief hesitation was when I looked in to see if there was any spare tables (only a couple left). But as I had…
Soulwich – Asian inspired sandwiches in Evanston
Healthy does not always have to be tasteless. Up in Evanston about 10 mins walk from the Davis St Purple Line station is Soulwich – Asian Sandwiches & More. I went for the ‘Indonesian Ginger BBQ’ I chose the chicken option and it comes with homemade bbq, red cabbage and infused caramelized onion. The sandwiches…
Costello’s Sandwiches and Sides – Lincoln Square
Costello sandwich & sides is located right under the el line bridge just before the Western Brown Line stop. If you sit in the window you can watch the trains rattle by overhead. Sadly I could not see Lou or Abbott in here but I guess that was a long shot and as far over…
Phils Steaks – NYC – Cheesesteak wit wiz
Oh my Gawd, I was just hitting food truck after food truck. I had headed down on the red line just to hit up Union Square to see if the traders at the regular farmers food market were still there. On my way from the station walking along 14th St I bumped into Phils Steaks. With a…
Real Good Truck – NYC
I am a total sucker for a food truck and even if I have just eaten I can’t pass one by, even if I just have a taste. 20 minutes earlier I was walking out from the Chelsea Market with my meat pie from “Tuck Shop” and I was heading over to Myers of Keswick…
Tuck Shop ‘the great aussie bite’ NYC
I love a good meat pie and I had read about this place on NFT (Not For Tourists) NYC so I really had to head over here for a pie. I had checked it out over the holiday season but I was on my way then to get Fish and Chips from ‘A Salt…
Rickshaw Dumplings Food Truck – Times Square New York
Rickshaw Dumplings Food Truck – Times Square New York Rickshaw Dumpling Bar is located just on the edge of Times Square, if you surface from the Times Square subway entrance at the far south east corner to avoid the crowds you will hit this particular bar. It is not really a food truck as…
Metro North – Princeton New Jersey
I was too busy catching up with friends to take many pictures at this place, a decent grill just outside of Princeton New Jersey. Old quaint and with quite a little bit of history the ambiance was very comfortable. With no alcohol in sight the conversation flowed which just goes to show that good company and…
